ASUS RT-BE55 wireless router 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet Dual-band (2.4 GHz / 5 GHz) Black

The ASUS RT-BE55 is a tabletop router that delivers dual-band Wi‑Fi 7 performance with a maximum combined throughput of up to 3600 Mbps. Designed for home networks, it supports Multi-Link Operation (MLO) for simultaneous connections across bands and integrates AiMesh for extendable whole-home coverage. The router includes 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, five RJ-45 ports, and commercial-grade network security features to protect devices and IoT equipment around the clock.

Advantages

The RT-BE55 provides ultrafast Wi‑Fi 7 speeds with 4096-QAM for higher per-band throughput and MLO to maintain stable, low-latency connections across multiple bands. AiMesh compatibility allows seamless roaming and easy expansion of coverage. Built-in ASUS Network Security with AiProtection and Safe Browsing offers continuous, commercial-grade protection and one-tap security scanning. The compact tabletop design in black fits typical home environments and supports QoS and MU-MIMO for efficient multi-device performance.
