Description

Experience next-generation 802.11ac - Wi-Fi everywhere

The RP-AC52 wireless range extender has powerful internal MIMO antennas that help to eliminate signal dead zones and improve the coverage of any existing wireless router. It works as a repeater, which means it can extend wireless networking to every corner of the home -- even to those difficult, hard-to-reach spots. This ensures reliable high-speed internet coverage everywhere for devices such as notebooks, tablets, smartphones, game consoles and smart TVs. RP-AC52 lets you enjoy lag-free gaming and HD multimedia streaming throughout the home.

Dual-band concurrent range extender
The RP-AC52 gets you true dual-band networking even if you're on an older single-band router. Double your wireless performance with up to 733 Mbps bandwidth in 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz simultaneously! 2.4 GHz handles daily tasks like web browsing and social networking, while 5 GHz is great for HD video streaming and online gaming.

2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signal strength indicators
An LED signal-strength meter on the front of the RP-AC52 wireless range extender shows at a glance the strength of both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signals.

We recommend placing the RP-AC52 between the router and the area where you want to extend wireless coverage. The RP-AC52 works best when it is receiving a strong wireless signal from the router, and you can check this using the signal strength indicator on the front panel of the RP-AC52. This shows the signal strength for both frequency bands -- the longer the illuminated band, the stronger the signal. Position the RP-AC52 so that it is as far away from the router as possible but still showing a strong signal level.

Automatic switching between range extender and access point modes
PR-AC52 has two convenient modes to make it even more flexible. As well as a range extender, it can also work as a wireless access point (AP). 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. AP mode is also handy for adding wireless capability to a router with no built-in Wi-Fi.

Streaming music with ASUS AiPlayer app and multiple wireless streaming protocols
You can connect speakers to the RP-AC52 wireless range extender and stream your favorite music direct from any mobile device that has the ASUS AiPlayer app installed. It's compatible with a wide range of multimedia formats and delivers a smooth and effortless streaming experience, anywhere in the home. RP-AC52 also stream music from Mac and iOS devices with no need for extra software.

Internet radio
RP-AC52 wireless range extender has built-in support for internet radio, so you can stream all your favorite stations direct from the router's graphical menu interface, or by using the dedicated app.

One-press setup and worry-free connectivity
RP-AC52 wireless range extender installation doesn't require a CD or even mouse and keyboard. One press of the WPS button and setup is complete. Optimized performance is assured, so internet experiences are seamless and smooth. For detailed management, you can simply connect the RP-AC52 to a PC via Ethernet cable and go to the configuration page directly, or quickly set it up from tablet or smartphone wirelessly, with no disc or app needed.

Touch control for music and lighting
Simply touch the sensor on the RP-AC52 wireless range extender to start or stop music playback, or turn the LED lighting on and off. All it takes is one touch, adding instant convenience. You can even personalize the sensor settings via the user-friendly graphical menu interface.

Stylish power lights up your home
The RP-AC52 wireless range extender has an extra LED on the back, turning it into a convenient night light with a gentle white glow.

Compact, flexible and space-saving
The RP-AC52 wireless range extender has a compact space-saving design with the power plug at the rear, giving you more freedom to place it in a convenient location. It needs no power cable, and connects directly to wall sockets or power strips for a clutter-free installation.
