ASUS Announces RP-AC68U

Flagship AC1900 wireless repeater
easily extends ultra-fast Wi-Fi for enhanced coverage, with high-speed USB 3.0
connectivity and five Gigabit Ethernet ports

 

Singapore (22nd March,
2016) — ASUS today announced RP-AC68U, its top-of-the-range 802.11ac
(AC1900) dual-band Wi-Fi repeater. The compact and stylish RP-AC68U features four
internal high-performance antennas (3 transmit, 4 receive) and allows users to easily
extend coverage of an existing 802.11ac Wi-Fi network with ultra-fast speeds of
up to 1900Mbps.

RP-AC68U is equipped with a USB 3.0 port for
connecting storage devices. This high-performance port supports ASUS AiCloud
and delivers up to 10-times (10X) faster data transfers than USB 2.0.

Five Gigabit Ethernet ports add great
flexibility for connecting wired devices, and combined with the convenient
Media Bridge mode they allow users to convert any wired network devices to
wireless operation. RP-AC68U can also be used in Access Point mode to add ultra-fast
Wi-Fi convenience to any existing wired network.

The compact RP-AC68U has a sophisticated and
stylish design, with illuminated red accents that can be turned on or off by a
convenient touch sensor incorporated in the ASUS logo on the front. With its
simple one-touch setup and LED signal strength indicators for optimized
installation, RP-AC68U is the hassle-free way to extend ultra-fast Wi-Fi coverage
to any part of a home or office.

ASUS
RP-AC68U works by connecting wirelessly to an existing router and extending the
Wi-Fi signal to areas of poor coverage, which are often a problem in large or
multi-floor homes. With its blindingly-fast up to 1900Mbps combined speeds
(600Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and 1300Mbps on the 5GHz band), RP-AC68U is the
perfect companion for extending the coverage of the latest 802.11ac routers, but
it can also be used with routers supporting any older Wi-Fi standards.

RP-AC68U
is perfect for extending multi-device HD streaming, online gaming, and other
bandwidth-intensive tasks to every corner of the home.

RP-AC68U
includes a USB 3.0 port that delivers up to 10-times (10X) faster data
transfers than USB 2.0, ensuring fast and responsive performance for connected
USB storage devices.

Users can
easily create their own personal cloud server by connecting USB storage and
using the ASUS AiCloud app to access and stream stored content anywhere. AiCloud
is a free app for iOS and Android™ devices, and works seamlessly with RP-AC68U
to give users the ultimate mobile flexibility.

With five
Gigabit Ethernet ports for connecting wired devices, RP-AC68U gives users the
performance and flexibility to configure their home network to suit any
situation.

With
RP-AC68U, users now have the freedom to connect all their wired devices — including
game consoles, PCs, smart TVs, printers, NAS devices and much more — and make
RP-AC68U the powerful heart of their home media and gaming network.

Setting up
and installing RP-AC68U couldn’t be easier: the user simply needs to press the
WPS button on both RP-AC68U and the router, and that’s it! There’s no CD needed
and the entire operation can be completed without a PC.

For the
best results, RP-AC68U needs to be located in a position where there is a
sufficiently-strong signal from the router. Perfect installation is made foolproof
thanks to RP-AC68U’s dedicated LED signal strength indicators for each
frequency band, which help the user find the best location for RP-AC68U.
