Asus RT-AX55U (AX1800)

If you've bought yourself a shiny new laptop, smartphone or tablet recently, it might have the latest Wi-Fi 6 standard built in. If so, and you want to make the most of it, you probably need to upgrade to a new router. Asus's RT-AX55 is one of the most...

And if from the point of view of performance we can assume equality, then we do not undertake to judge the competitor’s functionality. So when choosing between these two models, you can, apparently, be guided solely by love or dislike for the brand. But RT-AX56U ASUS refers to a slightly different league. From the functional differences: two USB ports (2.0 + 3.0) with the corresponding services + AiProtection Pro, and not Classic, like the 55th.

If you are still on WiFi 5 router, getting ASUS RT-AX55 AX1800 WiFi 6 router will future proof your tech as more and more devices are WiFi 6 enabled. You will also be able to enjoy better speed and stability via OFDMA, you will typically experience lesser stutter during peak times where everyone is at home (especially in times like MCO 3.0).

En cuanto a funciones, sí que está un pasito por debajo que otros modelos más caros de Asus como es obvio, pero tenemos las más importantes como son: NitroQAM, Meamforming, IPTV, QoS Adaptativo, Servicios VPN, red mallada, Wi-Fi de invitados o control por Alexa entre otros. A esto por supuesto se le añaden las capacidades inherentes de Wi-Fi 6. El firmware es desde luego más completo que casi cualquier router de la competencia, siempre una constante en Asus.
