The price aint cheap, but its worth it. After purchasing similarly priced prosumer routers previously (different brand) that were somehow still as flakey as a free ISP router, this one made me brand loyal.

+ Excellent WiFi range, and the normal + 4g bands are bonded together seemlessly
+ Great web interface
+ Amazing tools, including free DDNS that gives you a URL that points to your home public IP

I used to get random drop-outs from the internet with my other new router. The problem was solved by replacing this router with the ASUS RT-AX55. The ASUS is performing reliably with no drop-outs. Very happy with this ASUS. I used to get random drop-outs from the internet with my other new router. The problem was solved by replacing this router with the ASUS RT-AX55.

I've got two Asus AX55's acting as AI Mesh nodes slaved to the more powerful AX86U, and so far it's been really good. The UI is a aesthetically bit hideous, but actually very functional and more explanatory than most. I love that once you configure the nodes as nodes, you no longer log into them, they're incorporated into the UI of the main router.

Until the AI Mesh 2.0 firmware update in Jan 2021, the AI Mesh system didn't extend to the guest network, which was the whole point in my case (we have two outbuildings which struggled for signal). However, that critical update wasn't officially pushed to this AX55.

However, that critical update wasn't officially pushed to this AX55. Luckily I found on SNB forum a link apparently from Asus themselves to release candidate versions of the eventually-released AI Mesh 2.0 firmware. And it included a version for this AX55, and so manually loading that means that the guest network is now broadcast and available from the mesh nodes too. Asus support didn't even know about it.

I may consider putting Merlin firmware on it, which has a few extra features that might be useful to some users.

Pity it doesn't have a wall mounting option, that would have been handy in my case.

great wifi, you guys require your carrier username and password to enter the conf interface, call your carrier to get it. great wifi, you guys require your carrier username and password to enter the conf interface, call your carrier to get it.

easy setup and good bang for my buck easy setup and good bang for my buck

Works great, huge improvement in speed and reliability compared to the standard router from internet provider.
One older wifi device doesn't like connecting though. Works great, huge improvement in speed and reliability compared to the standard router from internet provider.

Not five star but does the job well. Set up is easy and uncomplicated. Not five star but does the job well. Set up is easy and uncomplicated.

I finally got sick of the rubbish router my ISP provided and went into PB to get a new one. The salesman who helped me (sorry can't his name) was awesome and suggested this unit, setup was straight forward following the online guide PB have (which you have to google). It's been flawless since, can't ask for more. I finally got sick of the rubbish router my ISP provided and went into PB to get a new one.

Actually have two of these, linked in an AiMesh environment to an AX-82U (all from PB Tech). Collectively work well to produce good wireless speeds for our double story house. I find the interface either on the web or the Asus phone app useful to identify which devices are on the network.

Purchased this after having issues with micro outages on previous router. What I found was that it was easy to setup, and not only did it not have the random outages, but the overall network performance in the house has improved markedly.

Was only getting a shaky one bar with a lot of dropping from my ISP's stock modem at the other end of the house. This was great for replacement and now i have great signal everywhere in my house, definately worth the price. Great guides from PB tech to get it working on fibre as well - the only almost downside is i cant find a way to mount this on a wall.

I got this router, and it immediately doubled my old router speed. Interface quite easy to use, remote app quite useful as well. Did have a problems with Macbook AIR , Mac OS Big Sur 11.2.3 wifi dropping/stalling, other Mac Airs running with no issues. So solution, Smart Connect OFF, and 5G ( Its preferred network ) off AUTO mode and pick a frequency. Seems to have solved it. I got this router, and it immediately doubled my old router speed.
