Introduction
A WiFi 6 range extender with 2×2 dual bands, the RP-AX56 offers 1024-QAM and 80 MHz bandwidth for incredibly fast wireless connections. The RP-AX56 is 1.5 times quicker than an 802.11ac 2×2 dual-band range extender, with a total networking speed of around 1800Mbps (574Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and 1201Mbps on the 5GHz band). The ASUS RP-AX56 is a WiFi 6 AiMesh extender and WiFi range extender that makes it simple to extend your current wireless network and provide strong and reliable connectivity to every room in your house. When used with AiMesh routers, the RP-AX56 can expand those routers’ features beyond whole-home WiFi. Even while AiMesh is relatively simple to use, it yet has a lot of strength.
The RP-AX56 still offers extensive functionality and simple central control of all settings through the ASUS Router mobile app or ASUSWRT when it is a part of an AiMesh network. In order to prevent anyone from getting around them by connecting to a separate router, fantastic features like AiProtection, QoS, and Parental Controls operate across the entire network. Just keep in mind to always connect your internet service to the router with the greatest specifications. You won’t need to switch networks as you travel around your home thanks to RPAX56’s ability to create a single, whole-home WiFi network when used with AiMesh routers. AiMesh monitors the signal strength reaching your device and, if necessary, transfers it effortlessly to a different source. You just need to have fun with it!
AiMesh is made to function the way you like, therefore if you prefer different network names for each frequency band, you are free to do that as well! For ease of use while expanding an existing AiMesh network, you can opt to keep just one WiFi name (SSID) for the entire home network, or you can divide WiFi names so that different WiFi bands can be set aside for different purposes. Use the 2.4GHz frequency for everyday use and the 5GHz band for gaming devices with higher bandwidth requirements, for instance. You don’t need to worry if you don’t yet have an AiMesh/ASUS router because the RP-AX56 is a WiFi 6 range extender that works flawlessly with practically all WiFi routers, modems, and cable routers/gateways on the market.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do all Wi-Fi extenders work with ASUS routers?
You don’t need to worry if you don’t yet have an AiMesh/ASUS router because the RP-AX56 is a WiFi 6 range extender that works flawlessly with practically all WiFi routers, modems, and cable routers/gateways on the market.
What distinguishes an AP from a repeater?
An access point is a device that provides wireless client service and is connected by cable (Cat 5) to your main router, modem, and internet. A repeater is a wireless network device that extends the range of wireless transmissions without requiring a cable connection to your router/modem or your customers.
Which mode does ASUS Access Point use?
When used as an access point (AP), an ASUS repeater device connects via Ethernet to a router to increase the range of the wireless signal to include additional network clients. The NAT, IP sharing, and firewall features are by default disabled in this mode.
What does the term “Access Point mode” mean?
Wireless clients (wireless adapter cards), such as laptops, desktops, and PDAs, are connected using the access point mode. Only wireless clients operating in access point mode can communicate with APs. Wireless client mode in access point client mode.
What functions do wireless repeaters have?
WiFi signal extenders of the first generation are wireless repeaters. Wireless repeaters, as their name suggests, re-broadcast the WiFi signal to a limited confined region. The wireless repeater will receive WiFi signal intensity of the same caliber as WiFi signal strength that is distributed.
Is access point mode the same as bridge mode?
The difference is crucial: By producing a wireless signal that users can access, a wireless access point links users to a network. As opposed to a bridge, which joins various networks, a bridge connects your existing wireless home network to all of the devices linked to it.
An access point is a Wi-Fi extender, right?
A wireless signal extender is simply a gadget to amplify your wireless signal, whereas an access point is a central hub for connecting devices to a local area network.
How does repeater mode work?
The access point expands the range of an existing Wi-Fi network while it is in repeater mode. When you desire a greater effective range of the wireless signal throughout your house or workplace but are in a Wi-Fi dead zone or an area with a weak wireless signal, this option is appropriate.
Is an extender the same as a Wi-Fi repeater?
The goal of WiFi boosters, repeaters, and extenders is to increase WiFi coverage. The distinction between products that manufacturers refer to as “extenders” and products that they refer to as “repeaters” is not entirely obvious.
Media Bridge Mode: What Is It?
The fastest 802.11ac Wi-Fi connection is available for several media devices concurrently in the Media Bridge mode. Two routers—one set up as a media station and the other as a router—are required to set up the media bridge mode.
What distinguishes a repeater from a bridge?
Bridge provides orderly connectivity between two networks. The network’s signal limit is increased by repeaters.
What distinguishes Wi-Fi from an access point?
A WLAN, or wireless local area network, is created by an access point, typically in an office or big building. An access point transmits a Wi-Fi signal to a predetermined region after being connected to a wired router, switch, or hub through an Ethernet cable.
What distinguishes router mode from bridge mode?
Bridge mode and router mode distinctions. Here, the main distinction is that a router’s bridge capability is used to link devices together within the same network, whilst a router mode is used to link them together with the rest of the Internet.
Describe WPS mode.
Many routers come with a function called Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS). It is intended to simplify the process of joining a computer or other device to a secure wireless network. For Android TVTM models, this is crucial.
Does a router need to be linked to an access point?
A Wireless Access Point (WAP) enables several devices to join a single network using WiFi. Switches are the electrical equivalent. A WAP does not, however, have to be linked to the router like a switch does. Access Points transmit WiFi after connecting via wired Ethernet to a switch or a switch port on a router.
