Archer AX55 MU-MIMO feature
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
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?

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.
