ASUS has introduced its latest networking solution, the RT-AX55 router that sports a “networking speed of about 1800Mbps — 574 Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and 1201 Mbps on the 5GHz band.”

ASUS' RT-AX55 supports the latest Wi-Fi standard, 802.11AX (Wi-Fi 6), which brings faster networking speeds and is designed to further advance Internet of Things devices (IoT). However, it's worth mentioning that Wi-Fi 6 only works with compatible devices – in other words, it might be a good idea to check if your devices support the new networking standard before investing in a Wi-Fi 6 router.

ASUS says that the 802.11ax Technology used in the new RT-AX55 has up to 80% better range than routers using last-gen's 802.11ac Technology. The RT-AX55 comes with “AiProtection Classic, powered by Trend Micro” which is designed to protect your devices and personal data from internet threats. All of the router's Ethernet ports – one uplink and four downstream – offer speeds of 1Gb/s.

Additional information about the router from ASUS can be found on the product page HERE.

ASUS has released a number of highly rated wireless routers over the years. To cap off 2019, the ZenWiFi system is joining the lineup, available in both WiFi 6 and WiFi 5 models and Mesh wireless technology for even better coverage. 

The ZenWiFi AX is the WiFi 6 model (802.11ax) while the ZenWiFi AC sports the WiFi 5 (802.11ac) tech we're currently used to. The router has a low-profile design intended to blend in nicely for a living room or a home office. AIMesh technology makes setting up a whole-home mesh network as easy as possible, while AIProtection Pro acts as a built-in security suite to keep your connection secure.

In terms of speed, the ZenWiFi AX can push a total data rate of up to 6600 Mbps and covers 5,500 square feet. Meanwhile the WiFi 5-bound ZenWiFi AC delivers a data rate of up to 3000 Mbps and covers up to 5,400 square feet. As you would expect from a router like this, 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless channels are offered.

The ZenWiFi AX and the ZenWiFi AC routers will be available as standalone routers, or in a double pack for those looking to jump straight in with a Mesh network. Pricing and availability info for the UK will be coming soon, so we'll update this story once those details come in.

KitGuru Says: Are any of you looking to make a network upgrade this year? Are you leaning towards a Mesh setup, or picking up a new WiFi 6 router?
