ASUS RP-AC1900 is an AiMesh extender and WiFi range extender that lets you easily expand your current wireless network to deliver seamless connectivity to every corner of your home.

Powered by 802.11ac technology, RP-AC1900 delivers 1300Mbps on the 5GHz band and 600 Mbps on the 2.4GHz band.

In addition to whole-home WiFi, when used with AiMesh routers, ASUS RP-AC1900 extends features like AiProtection, parental controls and adaptive QoS that provide enhanced security, intuitive controls to schedule and restrict internet access, and gaming prioritization for the best online experiences.

When used with AiMesh routers, RP-AC1900 can create a single, whole-home WiFi network, so you don't have to switch networks as you move throughout your house. AiMesh keeps an eye on the signal strength to your device, and switches it seamlessly to another source if necessary.

When extending current AiMesh network, you can choose to keep only one WiFi name (SSID) for the entire home network for easier usage; or separate WiFi names so you can dedicate different WiFi band for different usage. For example, dedicate the 5GHz band to gaming devices with higher bandwidth needs and 2.4GHz band for normal usage.

RP-AC1900 supports AP mode, so you can establish Ethernet backhaul with on-wall Ethernet jacks in your home to create a wired connection between the router and RP-AC1900. This not only provides even more stable WiFi, but also dedicates the entire 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands to wireless devices for smoother connections.
