Asus RP-AC53

details: AC750 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Repeater
hardware type: Wireless Range Extender
date added: 2017-02-12
updated: 2020-02-20
The convenient AC pass-through socket keeps the power outlet free when you plug RP-AC53, so you don't have to sacrifice a power outlet.

The RP-AC53 wireless repeater has two external antennas that help eliminate Wi-Fi dead zones and improve the coverage of any existing wireless router.

It works as a range booster, which means it can extend wireless networking to every corner of your home — even to those difficult, hard-to-reach spots. With 802.11ac speeds of up to 733Mbps, it's suitable for extending your existing 802.11ac Wi-Fi network, giving you reliable high-speed internet coverage everywhere for devices such as laptops, tablets, smartphones, game consoles and smart TVs.

The ASUS Extender app is the easy and intuitive way to set up your ASUS repeater. With just a few taps, you can easily transfer your router's login information to the repeater, and there are easy instructions to help you find the ideal location for RP-AC53.

The ASUS Extender app is an easy and intuitive way to set up RP-AC53, but if you prefer you can use the WPS buttons on RP-AC53 and your router for instant automatic setup.

RP-AC53 has three 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.
