The Archer AX55 Pro utilizes a Qualcomm dual-core CPU and features a 2.5 Gbps WAN/LAN port to support multi-gigabit internet tiers. Performance metrics indicate the hardware is optimized for high-density OFDMA traffic. Material analysis of the internal assembly reveals a larger heatsink surface area than the standard AX55, designed to mitigate thermal throttling during sustained data routing. Signal propagation is managed via four high-gain antennas utilizing beamforming technology for drywall and timber penetration.
Operational features include:
- Network Interface: 1x 2.5Gbps port and 3x 1Gbps ports.
- VPN Capabilities: Integrated support for WireGuard and OpenVPN clients.
- Storage Interface: USB 3.0 port for network-attached storage.
Aggregated data confirms that the device operates on the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands but does not access the 6GHz spectrum. Standardized testing protocols show that the CPU may experience bottlenecks when performing concurrent high-speed routing and USB 3.0 file transfers. Use of CAT6 cabling or higher is required to reach the physical multi-gigabit throughput of the 2.5G port.
If 6GHz spectrum access is required for your environment, the Archer AXE75 provides a tri-band alternative. This model is part of the vpn-routers category for high-bandwidth home laboratories.
