TP-Link has introduced a new dual-band best router for gaming called Archer AX55. The gaming router supports the new standard of wireless communication Wi-Fi 6, built-in security system HomeShield, and OneMesh function.
Archer AX55’s wireless speeds reach 2400 Mbps on the 5 GHz band and 574 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band. The wireless router is powered by a Qualcomm dual-core processor paired with 512MB of RAM. The set of new interfaces includes four Gigabit LAN ports, one Gigabit WAN port, and USB 3.0 for connecting external drives, creating an FTP / Samba server, and using the Apple Time Machine function.
The gaming router is equipped with four fixed antennas supporting Beamforming, 2×2 MU-MIMO, and high-power FEM modules. At the same time, the static aggregation function for two LAN ports allows you to achieve device connections at speeds up to 2 Gb/s over an Ethernet cable. The Wi-Fi 6 module provides OFDMA, BSS Coloring, Target-wake-Time, Airtime Fairness, and also allows the use of a 160 MHz channel for maximum Wi-Fi throughput.
HomeShield security system and WPA3 support will provide reliable network protection from hackers. The HomeShield service includes built-in Avira antivirus, as well as parental control settings and user traffic prioritization. In addition, TP-Link OneMesh allows you to set up a seamless mesh network when paired with one or more TP-Link RE Series amplifiers for even greater indoor wireless coverage.
