Three-in-One Repeater, Access Point and Media Bridge ModesRP-AC56 has two more convenient modes to make it even more flexible. As well as a repeater, it can also work as a wireless access point (AP) or as a media bridge. In AP mode, it can be connected to any wired LAN — for example, a hotel’s internet connection — to create a personal Wi-Fi hotspot, allowing the internet connection to be accessed from laptops, phones or other Wi-Fi devices. In media bridge mode, it can be connected to any Ethernet-compatible device — such as a smart TV, multimedia player, game console or PC — to give it Wi-Fi capability. An ideal way to reduce cable mess. | ASUS ExpressWay Boosts PerformanceASUS ExpressWay uses the dual-band capability of RP-AC56 to create an efficient connection with improved performance and reliability. In normal mode, RP-AC56 uses the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands simultaneously for connecting to devices, giving a wide compatibility with devices and routers. As long as at least one device — or your router — supports 5 GHz operation, ExpressWay can dedicate one band for connecting to the router and the other band for connecting to the device1. This gives you a high-performance boost for data-intensive tasks such as HD video streaming or online gaming and also reduces the chance of losing the connection due to interference. | Roaming Assist for Stable Connections, EverywhereWith their hassle-free Roaming Assist technology, you never have to switch connections manually between RP-AC56 and your ASUS router as you move around the home. Once you enable this function, your device will connect automatically to the strongest Wi-Fi signal, whether it’s from the router or the repeater. This ensures that you always get the most reliable connection wherever you are in the house. |
