ASUS RP-AC55

Overview

The ASUS RP-AC55 is a dual-band wireless range extender designed to expand your existing Wi-Fi 5 network coverage with speeds up to 1167 Mb/s. It plugs directly into any wall outlet to eliminate dead zones in your home or office, ensuring stable connections in areas like upstairs bedrooms, garages, or backyard workspaces. By operating on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, it balances everyday device connectivity with high-speed streaming and gaming needs.

Connectivity and compatibility

The RP-AC55 supports seamless integration with most Wi-Fi 5 routers through its WPS button or manual setup options. Its Ethernet port adds flexibility by allowing wired devices to connect wirelessly or by creating a new wireless access point from a wired network. This makes it suitable for a variety of devices including smart TVs, gaming consoles, and desktop computers that lack built-in Wi-Fi.

Installation and setup

Setting up the RP-AC55 is straightforward and user-friendly. The LED indicators help you find the best location for optimal signal strength, while the WPS button enables quick pairing with your router. For users who prefer more control, the ASUS Extender mobile app or a wired Ethernet connection can be used to configure settings. This flexibility ensures the extender fits smoothly into your existing network environment.

Ideal uses and environments

This range extender is well suited for homes and small offices where Wi-Fi dead zones affect productivity or entertainment. It works effectively in multi-story houses, backyard studios, or basement rooms where the main router’s signal struggles to reach. Whether you need reliable video calls, lag-free gaming, or smooth 4K streaming across multiple floors, this device enhances your network without requiring a full router replacement.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
