Good as Bridge modem for fttn? Thanks
Does this work on HFC?
Yeah it does.
Is this much of an upgrade over a modem supplied by an ISP such as my republic?
As a VDSL2 modem no. As a router yeah.
How does this compare to the Asus RT-AC68u? I've had the AC68u for more than 5 years and it's been great. But that's a long time in IT.
this one is worse than 68U. yours is a router and this is a combo so different there saying that you can always use Merlin wrt firmware which is what is awsome about all Asus routers
Is this compatible with AI Mesh?
No AI Mesh on 55U afaik. can use as an access point though.
Thanks for the clarification. I have a 5 year old DSL-AC68U and while it didn't seem to be on the compatible list, it has the AI Mesh options available in settings. Was hoping this would support it despite not being on the list :(
i have a 68U as well…waiting for a DSL AX model to replace it. i live in an apartment so i am not too bothered with running Mech/MiMo…anything too fancy at home. i just want WIFi 6
Slightly cheaper hereMy bad, wrong model
