The TP-Link Archer AX55 is an AX3000 dual-band gigabit Wi-Fi 6 router rated at 2402 Mbps on 5 GHz (160 MHz) and 574 Mbps on 2.4 GHz. It has a dual-core CPU, four external antennas with beamforming and a high-power FEM for three-bedroom houses, one gigabit WAN and four gigabit LAN ports, a USB 3.0 port, HomeShield security and parental controls, VPN server and client, and OneMesh and EasyMesh support.

Archer AX55 overview

The Archer AX55 is TP-Link's AX3000 dual-band gigabit Wi-Fi 6 router. Both radios run Wi-Fi 6: the 5 GHz band supports IEEE 802.11ax/ac/n/a at up to 2402 Mbps (802.11ax, HE160), and the 2.4 GHz band supports IEEE 802.11ax/n/b/g at up to 574 Mbps (802.11ax). TP-Link points to 160 MHz channel support on 5 GHz as the reason it doubles bandwidth and can carry 8K video without lag. Wi-Fi capacity is rated as high: OFDMA lets multiple clients share one band at the same time to cut latency and jitter, Airtime Fairness limits excessive airtime use, DFS opens an extra band to reduce congestion, and four streams give devices more bandwidth.

TP-Link describes a Qualcomm chipset with high memory behind the Wi-Fi 6 design, and the specification lists a dual-core CPU. A larger heat sink and refined case design are there to cool the system so it keeps running at full output without throttling. Coverage is sized for three-bedroom houses: four fixed high-performance external antennas form a signal-boosting array, beamforming concentrates signal towards devices, including hard-to-reach spots, and a high-power front-end module improves transmission power. If one router does not reach far enough, the Archer AX55 supports TP-Link OneMesh with OneMesh products and can build an EasyMesh network with EasyMesh-compatible devices, giving one network name across the home.

Wired connections are one gigabit WAN port and four gigabit LAN ports, and a USB 3.0 port shares an external drive between connected devices, or acts as personal cloud storage you can reach securely from outside. WAN types are Dynamic IP, Static IP, PPPoE, PPTP and L2TP, and the router runs in Router Mode or Access Point Mode. NAT forwarding includes virtual servers, port forwarding, port triggering, DMZ and UPnP; IPTV support covers IGMP proxy, IGMP snooping, bridge and tag VLAN; and both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported, with QoS by device.

Security is built around TP-Link HomeShield, which lists real-time IoT protection, a malicious site blocker, an intrusion prevention system, DDoS attack prevention and a home network scanner. Wi-Fi encryption options are WPA/WPA2-Personal, WPA2/WPA3-Personal and WPA/WPA2-Enterprise, with TP-Link highlighting WPA3 for stronger password encryption and brute-force protection. HomeShield parental controls offer custom profiles, a professional content filter library, Family Time, Bedtime, Off Time, Time Rewards, family online time ranking, Pause the Internet and weekly and monthly reports. The Archer AX55 runs an OpenVPN or PPTP VPN server and can act as an OpenVPN, PPTP or L2TP VPN client. Guest networks are available on both bands, and the Tether app can notify you when new devices connect so you can block suspicious ones.

Setup takes minutes with the Tether app on Android or iOS or the web interface, and OTA updates allow one-click or auto-scheduled firmware upgrades; cloud services also include TP-Link ID and DDNS, with TP-Link DDNS, NO-IP and DynDNS supported. The router has a Wi-Fi/WPS button, a power on/off button and a reset button, runs from a 12 V 2 A supply and measures 261.1 x 134.5 x 41.0 mm. It operates from 0 to 40 degrees C at 10 to 90% non-condensing humidity, with FCC and CE certification. The package holds the Archer AX55 router, a power adapter, an RJ45 Ethernet cable and a quick installation guide.
