    NO WIFI-AC! The photos are for a different product

    No WiFi! All the photos are of a different product! Once again I've been burned by Best Buy and their occasional practice of having completely wrong images that make you think you are getting a better product than what they are actually selling. Guess I have a bad habit of trusting the pictures. Never again. This one's going back...wasn't a good deal because there is NO WIFI-AC as shown in the photos.

    A Reliable, No-Nonsense AM4 Motherboard

    |

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The ASUS PRIME B550-Plus is one of those motherboards that doesn’t try to impress you with flashy RGB or gimmicks — it just delivers stable, dependable performance for gamers, creators, and everyday users. Built around the B550 chipset, it supports Ryzen 3000 through 5000 series CPUs, making it a great fit for anyone looking to maximize the AM4 platform. Build quality feels solid right out of the box. The board has a clean, professional look — black PCB with subtle silver accents — and it fits nicely in most ATX cases. Installation is straightforward, and the BIOS is one of the easiest to navigate, especially if you’re new to PC building. ASUS really nailed the setup experience here. Performance is excellent for the price. You get PCIe 4.0 support for your GPU and one M.2 slot, along with a second PCIe 3.0 M.2 slot for extra storage. Memory overclocking works smoothly — hitting 3600 MHz on DDR4 is easy with a decent kit. The VRMs are decent for mid-range CPUs like the Ryzen 5 5600X or even a Ryzen 7 5800X, though it’s not meant for extreme overclocking. Connectivity is another plus: you get plenty of USB ports, including USB-C, dual M.2 slots, and good audio quality for the price range. There’s no built-in Wi-Fi, which might be a downside for some, but an inexpensive Wi-Fi card or adapter solves that easily. Pros: ✅ Great stability and compatibility with Ryzen 3000–5000 CPUs ✅ Clean design and user-friendly BIOS ✅ PCIe 4.0 + dual M.2 slots ✅ Solid VRM performance for mid-range builds Cons: ❌ No built-in Wi-Fi or Bluetooth ❌ Lacks some high-end extras like debug LEDs or reinforced PCIe slots ❌ Not ideal for heavy overclocking Verdict: ⭐ 4.4/5 – The ASUS PRIME B550-Plus is a smart, reliable choice for anyone wanting a solid AM4 foundation without breaking the bank. It’s not flashy, but it’s consistent, stable, and built to last — perfect for gamers and power users who value performance over frills.

    False Advertising and No Accountability

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Just like the reviewer before me, they screwed me and sent a motherboard with no wifi. Chat doesn't care, and just says to send it back after dumb me assumed they knew what they were selling. I am very busy, and can't always make sure everyone does their job. Built the computer before noticing, and am not willing to build it twice, or wait for a replacement since I have a time frame to get this done. So BB just gets away with blatant FALSE ADVERTISING. Maybe be willing to offer like a measly $10 gift card or something to say you're sorry. But oh no, they just get away with it. So sick of incompetence at this point!!!! BB def moved down a notch for me and my business/customers when selecting parts in the future

    I got the motherboard in the mail yesterday and when I tried to install it to Wi-Fi was totally missing. It was not on the motherboard. There was clearly a Wi-Fi antenna and also a place to plug in the Wi-Fi antenna on the motherboard when I got the motherboard this is completely missing. Where is this?

      Dear Jayzala,


      Thank you for your comment.


      We do understand your disappointment and the inconvenience this may have caused if the motherboard you received doesn't have an onboard WIFI. This laptop model: PRIME B550-PLUS doesn't come with an onboard WIFI, neither the laptop was advertised having WIFI onboard from your seller's website. To utilize WIFI, you need to install either a USB WIFI adapter or a PCI WIFI network card. Should you need further assistance with the product, please email me at [email protected] and I would be more than happy to help. Or, you are most welcome to call Product Support Hotline at: 1(888) 678-3688. Also, you can chat with an ASUS live support agent from the link: https://www.asus.com/us/support/article/1135/.
