Verdict

The ASUS RP-AC55 is a dual-band 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) range extender offering combined speeds of up to 1200 Mbps, with 867 Mbps on the 5 GHz band and 300 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band. It features two external high-gain antennas, a built-in Gigabit Ethernet port for high-speed wired connections, and positioning LED indicators to help users identify the optimal installation spot between the router and dead zones. Main advantages include its 3-in-1 versatility—operating as a repeater, access point, or media bridge—and support for AiMesh technology to create a seamless mesh network with compatible ASUS routers. However, some users have reported potential connection stability issues in certain environments and noted that its 5 GHz band lacks support for higher channels (149 and above).
