Asus launches ac750 rp dual-band wi-fi repeater

ASUS today announced the RP-AC52 dual-band Wi-Fi repeater, which employs next-generation 802.11ac Wi-Fi with simultaneous operation in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands providing combined data transmission rates of up to 733 Mbit / s. It is an elegant solution to solve the usual problem of reception dead zones caused by obstacles. The RP-AC52 is a very simple way to expand wireless coverage quickly and reliably, and is especially useful in large buildings or multi-storey environments. Thanks to the RP-AC52, bringing wireless access to areas such as garages, basements, patios or roofs is no longer a problem. Equipped with a 3.5mm audio jack, the RP-AC52 can also be used to wirelessly stream music from PCs and mobile devices to Hi-Fi and home entertainment systems to allow the user to enjoy the music in any room of the house. The RP-AC52 is fully compatible with all current Wi-Fi standards, allowing it to be used with any router and other Wi-Fi devices.

Higher performance thanks to 802.11ac Wi-Fi

The latest 802.11ac technology enables the RP-AC52 Wi-Fi repeater to achieve data rates of up to 300 Mbit / s in the 2.4 GHz band, in addition to 433 Mbit / s over the 5 GHz band. As the two frequencies operate simultaneously, the total available bandwidth amounts to 733 Mbit / s. Users can assign devices to either band, so they can choose the most suitable frequency for each application. For example, devices used for web browsing and social media may use the standard 2.4 GHz band, while those engaged in high-definition video streaming or online gaming may adopt the band. 5 GHz, faster and less error prone. The various multiple input / multiple output (MIMO) antennas included in the RP-AC52 guarantee smooth and stable performance at both frequencies.

Automatic switch between Wi-Fi repeater and access point modes

The RP-AC52 offers two very practical modes that make it even more flexible. In addition to acting as a Wi-Fi repeater, it can also perform wireless access point (AP) functions. In AP mode, you can connect to any wired LAN — for example, a hotel's Internet connection — to create a personal Wi-Fi zone that allows you to access the Internet from laptops, phones, and other devices with Wi-Fi connectivity. AP mode is also perfect for adding wireless functionality to a router that does not have Wi-Fi connectivity. To offer the greatest possible comfort and ease, the RP-AC52 is able to automatically switch between AP mode and Wi-Fi repeater mode, depending on whether you are connected to a wired or wireless LAN.

Simple setup at the touch of a button and easy to understand signal indicator

To pair the RP-AC52 Wi-Fi repeater with routers and devices, just press the WPS (Wi-Fi protected setup) button on the RP-AC52 and the router, and the setup is complete. WPS technology is compatible with ASUS and non-ASUS routers and modem routers. After pairing with the router, the RP-AC52 works completely transparently, wireless devices will simply connect to the Wi-Fi network as they did before. In addition, the RP-AC52 can also be configured manually by connecting a network cable between the LAN port and a desktop or laptop computer.

In order to expand signal coverage, the Wi-Fi repeater must be within the operating range of the installed wireless router, and to achieve the best possible results, the signal it receives from the router must be strong. To help the user determine the ideal location, the RP-AC52 features signal strength LED indicators on the front panel, thereby allowing the user to place the RP-AC52 in the best possible place to create a Wi-Fi network domestic that meets your needs.

Streaming music with the ASUS AiPlayer app

Thanks to the AiPlayer application, the user can stream music to any corner of their home with the RP-AC52 Wi-Fi repeater. The RP-AC52 features a 3.5mm audio output jack that can connect to powered speakers or an audio system and deliver music content wirelessly from network-connected source devices such as desktops, laptops, or mobile phones, including Android and iOS devices. AiPlayer also includes Internet Radio, a function that allows the user to play their online radio stations wirelessly through the RP-AC52. In addition, AiPlayer's multi-room feature allows music to be streamed simultaneously to multiple RP-AC52 devices located throughout the home.
