Description

As the first ASUS N600 simultaneous dual-band Wi-Fi ADSL router, the DSL-N55U provides a stylish design, sophisticated features, and easy setup alongside supreme wireless and wired networking for the home.

Two USB 2.0 ports allow the DSL-N55U to share printing and scanning functions on a network, and operate as high-speed NAS (Network Attached Storage) when an external storage device is connected. It is fully DLNA certified, and can act as a media server and home entertainment center. Any device, such as a PS3, iPhone, or Eee Pad can directly stream music and video wirelessly through the DSL-N55U.

For wired networking, four Gigabit Ethernet ports provide excellent capacity. Support for up to 300,000 data sessions means the DSL-N55U has around 20 times the networking capacity of other home routers. Data transmission stays fast even when the router is under heavy load, and easy-to-use QoS settings assure that important traffic - VoIP calls or online gaming - isn't adversely affected by large file downloads.

  • Integrated home gateway with independent CPUs for modem and router
  • Dual-band Wi-Fi delivers up to 600Mbps in bandwidth
  • 4x Gigabit Ethernet ports provide enhanced wired network performance
  • Auto-detecting ADSL connection with CD/manual-free setup
  • Finest P2P experience via 300,000 concurrent data sessions
  • File sharing, printer sharing, and iPad charging using multi-functional twin USB ports
  • Two devices in one - ADSL modem and Wi-Fi router

    Designed with the latest in networking technology, the DSL-N55U has two Independent CPUs for its ADSL modem and Wi-Fi router modes, which deliver exceptionally fast wired and wireless connectivity. It comes with a powerful detachable Wi-Fi antenna to further extend wireless range.
  • Dual-band connectivity for lag-free entertainment

    Double your total wireless bandwidth and reduce Wi-Fi interference with the DSL-N55U's simultaneous 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands at a combined speed of up to 600Mbps. Basic Internet processes like web browsing or file downloads run under the 2.4GHz band, while simultaneous streaming of HD content occurs in the super-fast 5GHz band, always ensuring optimized speeds and allowing a smooth and buffer-free experience.
  • Optimized and reliable wireless coverage via Ai Radar

    ASUS Ai Radar intelligently strengthens connections to wireless devices. With high-powered amplification, it provides stronger signals in any direction with better coverage to improve data throughput.
  • Plug-n-surf and hassle-free management

    ASUS EZ UI offers you intuitive router setup with no manuals or install discs needed, so you get online in minutes. With the EZ UI dashboard, setup, monitoring, and network management are all grouped into one interface. You can also setup IPTV via the EZ UI.
  • Optimize your network

    Do you game a lot, or spend most of your time streaming videos? Whatever your main usage type, the DSL-N55U maintains total QoS to let you select bandwidth priorities for virtually any task. Plus, the traffic monitor allows you to check your web usage using a neat graphical interface.
  • Two multi-functional built-in USB ports

    Featuring connectivity to devices, FTPs, Samba, UPnP AV servers, and DLNA support, the DSL-N55U makes sharing and networking easier with two built-in USB ports. Download HTTP, FTP, and P2P files to a router-connected USB storage device all day, even without a PC. Additionally, the twin USB ports allow for networked printer and file server connections, so you perform multiple tasks at once.
  • Two servers in one - sharing files and streaming videos easily

    DLNA lets you play multimedia files stored on router-attached USB storage through compatible devices such as PCs, tablets, PS3, Xbox 360, and smart TVs. In only three steps, you can easily set up an FTP server to share and access data - no matter where you are.
  • Powerful online multitasking at up to 300,000 data sessions

    Support for a massive data pipeline of up to 300,000 data sessions means the DSL-N55U has around 20 times the networking capacity of conventional routers for exceptionally smooth performance.
