between the router/AP and the wireless device to get better

AC56 connects to your router/AP in about one (1) minute.

3. Check if RP-AC56’s Wi-Fi indicator turns solid light, which indi-
cates that the Range Extender has connected to the wireless
network successfully. The Range Extender’s wireless network
name (SSID) changes to your existing Wi-Fi network name,
ending with _RPT or _RPT5G. For example:
Existing Wi-Fi network name: existing NetworkName
New Extender 2.4GHz network name: existing Networ-
kName_RPT
New Extender 5GHz network name: existing Networ-
kName_RPT5G
To connect an additional Wi-Fi device to your Extender net-
work, use the same network password as that of your existing
wireless router.
