Pros
Our editorial view of this model’s strengths and limitations.
TP-Link Archer AX55. Wi-Fi 6 includes OFDMA to share airtime more efficiently between compatible clients. It is a useful fit for a household with laptops, phones and a TV active at the same time.
Support for 160 MHz channels on 5 GHz gives compatible laptops and phones extra wireless headroom. It is useful for large local file transfers when distance and radio conditions allow a wide channel.
Gigabit Ethernet avoids a 100 Mbps wired bottleneck. You can connect a computer, TV or network storage by cable to reduce Wi-Fi traffic and dependence on radio conditions.
USB 3.0 lets you attach a drive and share files over the network. For basic home access to photos and documents, that is more convenient than moving a USB stick between devices.
