Had this router for about two months and couldn't be happier. Not only will it not break the bank but the coverage, speed & features make it the best choice for the average user. Setup was super easy and there have been no issues whatsoever with any aspect of usage...in fact it solved an online speed issue that I was having with my previous router (another brand that wasn't that old). Hands down the best purchase I've made in a long time!

I bought this router 3 weeks ago to replace and older unit. The older unit is also a ASUS router (AC-3100). Nothing wrong with the old unit, I'm just kind of a tech junkie and I like to stay current with my hardware. I will probably set up a mesh network using the AC-3100 as a node off the RT-AX57.
Good Product

Have had a RT-AX55 for several months now. Except for a glitch on their end, the product has performed well. (They took care of the glitch.)
Solid features, straightforward setup & mesh

We had a Verizon coax router and secondary which (despite assurances) were NOT a "self-organizing network." Since I had used ASUS motherboards and routers in the past, I got this RT-AX55 and an RT-AX1800S for the AImesh feature. Disabled Wifi radio on both Verizon devices; attached the RT-AX55 WAN to a LAN port of the main Verizon router, moved a network cable to the AX55, and attached the RT-AX1800S at the other end (thank heavens we installed network cable when we renovated, back before wifi was so good). Set up the RT-AX55 with all the same network ID, guest network, and the newer functionality of Wifi6; then told it to go find the mesh partner AX1800S, which took just a few minutes. BTW the ASUS control app is on a laptop so I can carry it around the house to check settings and signal strengths. Additional new features: I can force some little monitoring devices to attach to the closer router, and give priority to others. Very satisfied with the results: better coverage, better continuous coverage while walking around the house, and solid performance, all at very reasonable price.

Great router, however the wireless signal is not strong enough to get the same speed in an adjacent room compared to an Ethernet connection. It drops by 90%. However, it is better than the Spectrum wireless router, which I gave back to Spectrum.

Great WiFi coverage, but as a replacement for an older ASUS router, I lost capability too. I maintained a shared storage using the dual USB ports on my previous RT-AC68 router, but those ports are not present on the RT-AX55. Other than that the porting was a breeze.

Since having this installed by my local provider it continues to buffer when trying to watch television that is 10 feet away.

Dear Valued Customer, We do understand your disappointment with the product and the inconvenience this may have caused if you are experiencing connection problem. To resolve the unstable connection, please verify the PC or device connecting to the router is working properly and within range to the router, the router is within 30 feet to the ISP's modem, if not wired by a network cable, and ISP's internet service or connection is working properly or stable. Check your ISP information and ensure that your WAN settings in the router's setup page are correct. Try resetting the mesh router and reconfigure the devices. Also we recommend updating the Mesh router firmware if it running with an older version. Firmware is available for download at: https://www.asus.com/us/networking-iot-servers/wifi-routers/all-series/rt-ax55/helpdesk_bios?model2Name=RT-AX55. Should you need further assistance with the product, please email me at cl-rodel@asus.com and I will be more than happy to help. Or, you are most welcome to call Product Support Hotline at: 1(888) 678-3688. Also, you can chat with an ASUS live support agent from the link: https://www.asus.com/us/support/article/1135/.

Unable to use with a digital mixer

Unable to use with digital mixer. We need to be able to use it without connecting to the internet. Every time we try we get a pop up telling us we have to plug in the ethernet port for the internet. When we try to enter the ip address of the mixer we are told we must connect to the internet. This router is a huge disappointment.

Dear Jackie2846, We do understand the inconvenience this may have caused if you are experiencing connection problem. To be able to setup the router for local area network only, without internet, please access the router's setting page, navigate to the "Operation Mode" setion, and select "Access Point(AP)" mode, this will disable the router's WAN functionality and allow devices to connect withon your local network. Additionally, you will need to configure the desired SSID and password for your local WIFI network. For helpful tips setting up the router, please visit: chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/wireless/RT-AX55/E21014_RT-AX55_UM_V2_WEB_.pdf. You may need to contact the digital mixer technical support for expert advice. Should you need further assistance with the router, please email me at cl-rodel@asus.com and I will be more than happy to help.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently found a great deal for a ax55 router and was surprised at ease of setting up this router and the super charged performance its been getting. With my netgear router i was getting sluggish performance and here i was very impressed that this older asus router was no way slow or would be less capable than my netgear rex200. Im now curious how aimesh performs!!

Very easy set up using the ASUS router app and made my connection much faster. So far so good, only had it for a few days, but very pleased with the performance. This one replaced my other ASUS router that is 10 years old and is still operational. Hoping this one can last as long too!

Covers the house (999 sq ft) easily and not too bulky. Cheaper than other routers but just as good if not better. Size is not too bulky. Would def recommend.

RT-AX55 is a quality product, I am using it as an extender for my home network using AiMesh and the signal seems to be strong. It was a very easy setup and configure to my Asus - AC3100 dual Band Wifi router.
