ASUS RT-BE55 Dual-band WiFi 7 Ethernet Wireless Router
Next-Gen WiFi 7 Performance for Modern Homes
Upgrade your network with the ASUS RT-BE55 WiFi 7 router, built to deliver BE3600 ultimate performance with speeds up to 688 Mbps on 2.4GHz and 2882 Mbps on 5GHz. Designed for homes that stream, game, work, and connect multiple devices at once, this dual-band router brings together WiFi 7 (802.11be), WiFi 6, WiFi 5, and earlier standards for broad compatibility and faster everyday wireless networking. Four external antennas, 2x2 transmission on both bands, and a 2.0 GHz quad-core processor help create a strong, responsive connection throughout your space.
Faster Connections with Smart Networking Features
The ASUS RT-BE55 router includes speed-boosting technologies like OFDMA, beamforming, 4096-QAM, and 20/40/80/160 MHz bandwidth support to help improve efficiency and wireless performance. With one 2.5G WAN port and four 1G LAN ports, it is ready for fast wired connections as well. The RT-BE55 can operate as a wireless router, access point, or media bridge, giving you flexibility when setting up your home network. It also supports AiMesh, so it can function as a primary AiMesh router or an AiMesh node in a whole-home mesh system.
Security, Controls, and Easy Management
Stay in control with ASUS security and management tools built into the RT-BE55. AiProtection includes Router Security Assessment, Malicious Site Blocking, Two-Way IPS, and Infected Device Prevention and Blocking, while WPA/WPA2/WPA3 support, DNS-over-TLS, and firewall options help protect your network. Parental controls let you manage time scheduling, safe browsing, and customized internet schedules, and guest networking makes it easy to share access without opening your local network. Manage everything through the ASUSWRT web interface or the ASUS Router app for a simple, flexible networking experience.
