Version AX3000

Model Archer AX55

  • Wi-Fi 6 delivers up to 3.0 Gbps combined speed for smooth 4K streaming
  • OFDMA technology serves multiple devices at once so every connection stays responsive
  • Four high-gain antennas with Beamforming extend strong coverage throughout the home
  • HomeShield security with WPA3 defends the network against the latest cyber threats
  • USB 3.0 port plus link aggregation on two LAN ports add fast wired storage and backup options

Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 router for busy homes

The Archer AX55 delivers AX3000 combined wireless throughput with 2402 Mbps on the 5 GHz band and 574 Mbps on 2.4 GHz. Four fixed high-performance antennas and beamforming extend coverage through multiple rooms. It suits households that stream 4K video, game online and run many smart devices simultaneously.

Straightforward setup with a few common snags

The web interface and Tether app guide you through basic configuration in minutes. WAN and four LAN ports are all Gigabit, and link aggregation can bond two LAN ports for wired throughput above 1 Gbps. Some users find the default DHCP lease time too short for static devices, and the USB 3.0 port does not support printer sharing — only media server or FTP access.

Ideal for families needing strong Wi-Fi 6 coverage

HomeShield security, WPA3 encryption and OpenVPN/PPTP clients protect traffic without extra hardware. Alexa voice control adds convenience for non-technical users. Buyers who require multi-gig WAN, 160 MHz channel width on 5 GHz or a second 5 GHz radio should look at higher-tier models. Those needing mesh backhaul over a dedicated band will not find it here.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the Archer AX55 is delivering Wi-Fi 6 speeds after installation?

Log into the web interface or Tether app to verify the 5 GHz band shows a 2402 Mbps link rate and the 2.4 GHz band shows 574 Mbps, then run a speed test from a Wi-Fi 6 client to confirm throughput near your plan limit.

What comes in the box with the Archer AX55 and what must I provide separately?

The package includes the router, a 12 V 2 A power adapter, an Ethernet cable and a quick installation guide; you must supply a modem or ONT for the WAN connection and any additional Ethernet cables for wired devices.

Which version of the Archer AX55 should I choose for my home?

The Archer AX55 is a single AX3000 dual-band model with four fixed antennas, one USB 3.0 port and four Gigabit LAN ports; select it if those specifications match your coverage and device-count requirements.
