Can an ASUS RP-AC53 repiter to work instead of a router?

Hello!

Can you tell me how and whether it is possible to configure the model repeater Asus RP-AC53 as a Wi-Fi router?

Worked old cheesy dir-300, he began to die, decided to change to this model, because it is convenient in shape and size.

But it does not work!

Thanks!

Hello. Asus RP-AC53 repeater cannot work as a router and replace it. It has only three modes of operation: repeater, network bridge and access point. That’s it:

Asus RP-AC53 as a router

So there’s no way. It can connect to a router, and amplify the network over both wi-fi and cable.

I haven’t even met such repeaters that can work in router mode as well. I think there are no such devices. I mean among the less popular manufacturers. Unless on the Chinese market. They can make anything. But almost all routers can work as a repeater.

So buy a router. And with the help of Asus RP-AC53, if necessary, you will strengthen the Wi-Fi signal.
