ASUS "RT-AX55", a Wi-Fi 6 router with a simple design narrowed down to the necessary functions
Achieves high cost performance
The biggest feature of this product is high cost performance.Of course, there are other Wi-Fi 6 compatible routers that are simply cheap, but the price has been reduced as much as possible with the convenient functions unique to ASUS.

* Each function of vulnerability protection, web and application filter is not supported
The wireless specifications of this product are all IEEE 802.Up to 1201Mbps (5GHz band) + up to 574Mbps (2).It is a dual band of 4GHz band, and it has a configuration close to the entry model in terms of specifications.
However, models that cost less than 10,000 yen with this specifications are basically not equipped with additional functions, and may only be possible to connect and Internet connection.
On the other hand, in this product, the ASUS router adds a security function "Aiprotection" that uses familiar trend micro technology, QOS (Traditional QOS), which can set priority by specifying a protocol, and a compatible router made by ASUS.It has abundant additional functions, such as corresponding to AIMESH, which can easily expand the network by doing so.
エントリーモデルながらAiProtectionなどの高度な機能を搭載It also supports the latest 144ch (5GHz band W56), which was approved last year in Japan, and also supports the latest security WPA3.
With these functions, the actual selling price is 11,089 yen as of February 2021, which is very easy to pick up.
2020年に日本の電波法で新たに許可された144chでの通信にもしっかり対応The company also has a lineup of a model called RT-AX56U compatible Wi-Fi 6 compatible router of 1201Mbps + 574Mbps, but compared to this product, the price of RT-AX55 is about 1900 yen cheaper.There is.
What is different is that the RT-AX55 has a small memory installation of 256MB.In addition, USB port is omitted and file sharing cannot be used.QOS is also only a Traditional QOS that sets ports individually.
Nevertheless, NAS is often used in files in LAN or file access from the go, so it is a function that does not necessarily be realized with a router.
Like the design, it can be said that it is a product that responds to market needs.
