The multi-functional RP-AC56 Wireless-AC1200 Dual-Band Access Point / Repeater / Media Bridge from ASUS can be a wireless hotspot, Wi-Fi adapter, or network extender. With the built-in Gigabit Ethernet port you can connect an active Internet connection to the port and provide Wi-Fi access for your wireless equipped device. For a device that does not come with built-in Wi-Fi, connect it to the Gigabit Ethernet port on the RP-AC56 and use it as an adapter to connect to your existing wireless network. In repeater mode, this ASUS Wi-Fi adapter connects to your current wireless network and strengthens the signal allowing it to reach distances previously out of reach.
