Asus RP-AX56

details: AX1800 Dual Band WiFi 6 AiMesh Range Extender
hardware type: Wireless Range Extender
date added: 2021-04-06
RP-AX56 is a 2x2 dual-band WiFi 6 range extender that provides 80MHz bandwidth and 1024-QAM for faster wireless connections.

With a total networking speed of about 1800Mbps - 574Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and 1201Mbps on the 5GHz band - RP-AX56 is 1.5x faster than 802.11ac 2x2 dual-band range extender.

When it is part of an AiMesh network, RP-AX56 still provides comprehensive features and easy central control of all settings from the ASUS Router mobile app or ASUSWRT. So features like AiProtection, QoS and Parental Controls work across the entire network, ensuring that no-one can bypass them by connecting to a different router.

With Roaming Technology on AiMesh AiMesh automatically and seamlessly connects your devices to the router with the strongest WiFi signal, wherever you are.

RP-AX56 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-AX56. This not only provides even more stable WiFi, but also dedicates the entire 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands to wireless devices for smoother connections.

If you don't have an AiMesh router, setting up your RP-AX56 WiFi 6 range extender is still easy. It doesn't require messing with discs, or even a mouse and keyboard. You can use the ASUS Extender app to easily transfer your router's login information to RP-AX56 with just a few taps; or use the Pair buttons on RP-AX56 and your router for instant automatic setup.
