ASUS - AX1800 Dual Band WiFi 6 (802.11ax) Router
- General
- Brand: ASUS
- Model Number: RTAX55
- Product Name: AX1800 Dual Band WiFi 6 (802.11ax) Router
- Security
- Firewall Type: Other (The method the firewall uses to filter and process data to increase network security, primarily by blocking malicious traffic requests while allowing legitimate traffic through.)
- Network
- Ethernet Standard: 10/100/1000 (Each standard is a variation of the IEEE 802.3 set of computer networking technologies known as Ethernet. New versions evolved to include higher bandwidth, different physical media, and other new and improved features. Standards are often denoted by speeds (in Megabits per second). For example, a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port transmits at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).)
- Number of Antennas: 4
- Frequency Band: 2.4 GHz, 5.0 GHz, Other, Not Applicable, Not Applicable (Bands may be grouped into categories such as low- and high-band VHF (Very High Frequency), low- and high-band UHF (Ultra High Frequency), or certain frequency channels (measured in MHz or GHz). Generally, higher frequencies transmit information faster but have shorter range than lower frequencies.)
- Wireless Standard: AX (The wireless networking protocol used by the device. Each iteration of the protocol is based on the 802.11 standard developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards Association. Denoted by letters following 802.11 (802.11a, 802.11ac, etc.), each version, published in alphabetical order, encompasses all previous versions.)
- Number of 2.4Ghz Streams: 4 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. Because the 2.4 GHz band is used to transmit wireless signals to a wide variety of devices, there is often high amounts of traffic on that stream. But with multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 2.4 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a desktop computer, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that use more data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
- Number of 5.0Ghz Streams: 4 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. The 5.0 GHz band provides high speed, short-range data transmission and typically has less traffic than the 2.4 GHz band. With multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 5.0 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a streaming media player, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that need less data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
- Certifications Listings & Approvals
- ENERGY STAR Certified: false (Devices carrying the ENERGY STAR service mark, such as computer products and peripherals, kitchen appliances, and other products, generally use 20% to 30% less energy than required by federal standards.)

Product Manuals
Q: Does this router support Gigabit Ethernet?
A: Yes, this router supports Gigabit Ethernet and provides speeds up to 10x faster than standard Ethernet.
Q: How many network ports does this router have?
A: This router features 4 Network (RJ-45) ports for wired connection.
Q: What is the total Wi-Fi speed for this router?
A: The Wi-Fi speed for this router is 1.8 gigabits per second.
Q: What is the wireless transmission speed of this router?
A: This router offers up to 225 MB/s data transfer rates.
Q: What kind of wireless standard does this router use?
A: This router uses the Wi-Fi 6 (AX) wireless standard.
Q: I believe the photo above is not accurate to the product but instead depicts the RTAX56U.
A: You are correct. The RT-AX55 has the Asus logo on the right hand side of the router and it also has two red stripes on the top surface. See this link for the correct picture - https://www.asus.com/Networking-IoT-Servers/WiFi-Routers/All-series/RT-AX55/
A: this is just a router not a modem. you will still need your ISP's modem. this router does utilize 2.4g and 5g network. i just upgraded my spectrum modem and upgrades my router and im getting more the 300mbs. which is the service i pay for. i have 8 devices connected to this router and can mange any of the devices via the mobile app. i have vivant as a security system and it works well with this router.
Q: If I have gig internet coming out of the wall what kind of speed will come out of this router?
A: Whatever realtime speed that is coming out from your ISP, if 1Gbps, the router will support it.
