Model: Archer AX55  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.0.7 Build 20220120 rel.74083(5553)

I bought an AX55 router from Amazon and the listing mentions MU-MIMO as well as a TP-Link support person in the Q&A section.

I do not see it mentioned in the official product page (only OFDMA) nor is it anywhere in the settings. Seems like a conflict of information to me. Does this router have the feature or not? I would appreciate an official response from TP-Link on this.

 

The AX50 product page mentions the MU-MIMO feature explicitly.

 

Thanks

@TP-Link @Kevin_Z or anyone, does this Archer AX55 have MU-MIMO or not? Most probably it doesn't, which will come as a serious disappointment. But still, we should be able to know this information. For AX50 (https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/wifi-router/archer-ax50/v1/), for example, in the description it specifies MU-MIMO, but in the Specification it doesn't. So again, what should we understand from this?

  @Nick_N I have an AX55 too. Sadly the wifi speed is somehow locked at 300Mbps. When loading the wireless settings page of the router the checkbox "MU-MIMO" appears for a split of a second and then disappears when the page is fully loaded. I bought it from Amazon and the description says that it supports MU-MIMO. With my "old" WiFi 5 router AC1200 i had 600-700Mbps WiFi speed... Now less than a half.

I also would like to know if the Archer AX55 have MU MIMO, or at least if is possible to get it through an update later?

@rpzoki  @Nick_N  @Macrox 

 

We were provided an update from our engineers on the topic. It appears as though when the functionality of MU-MIMO is advertised on individual products, it is referencing the NEWEST versions of MU-MIMO. For the AX55, the MU-MIMO application is present, just based on the older version that is not necessarily optimized for Wi-Fi 6 connections. As a result, it is not listed as an advertised feature. However, Archer AX55 does support 2x2 MU-MIMO rather than 4x4 MU-MIMO, meaning that they can only support two simultaneous upload and download streams, rather than the 4 streams possible when in a 4x4 configuration.
