Extend Seamless AiMesh WiFi System.

Incredibly Easy, but Incredibly Powerful

AiMesh is incredibly easy to use, but that doesn't mean it's not powerful. 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 great 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. Just remember to always connect your highest-specification router to your internet service.

Seamless, Pain-Free WiFi

When used with AiMesh routers, RP-AX56 can create a single, whole-home WiFi network, so you don't have to switch networks as you move throughout your house. AiMesh keeps an eye on the signal strength to your device, and switches it seamlessly to another source if necessary. All you have to do is enjoy it! If you prefer separate network names for each frequency band, you can do that as well — AiMesh is designed to work the way you want!

Without Roaming

When moving between rooms you have to switch manually to the best WiFi source. You can't always tell which one has the best signal.
