This was a refurbished unit and I was a little wary about that fact at first. While the unit did not come in the original packaging it was secured and boxed in such a way that shipping wouldn't have posed an issue. I got the unit installed and the firmware updated and was pleasantly surprised how easily it was to get AiMesh working on it and with my ASUS RT-AX86U router. It is working well serving as an extender using ethernet as backhaul to an area of my house where WIFI signals were not quite reaching.

Wonderful little range extender. I had a bit of a hard time setting it up, but once it was integrated into my eco system, it was great. It supports AI mesh and serves as two of my AI mesh nodes giving my whole house a very strong and stable wifi signal on the 5GHz band. I love that it has an ethernet port so it can do ethernet back haul. There was one issue. This device seems to be incompatible with a specific android (Samsung?) smart phone feature. There is a network setting on Samsung galaxy 9 and up phones (maybe earlier models) running android 11 (maybe earlier versions) called "Detect Suspicious Networks" if this is enabled on your phone it will cause the RP-AC55 device to reboot every minute or so and disconnect all devices and drop connections. I had to disable this on my phone to get everything working smoothly.Read full review

My wifi works better now. I like how it simply exists in the network instead of creating a separate node.
