I’d get the ASUS RP-AX56 AX1800 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Repeater in a heartbeat. At $100 apiece, it’s a steal. And that’s a grand statement since, for years, I’ve made it clear that I’m no fan of Wi-Fi repeaters, especially dual-band ones. But the RP-AX56 is much more than just a …

It’s somewhat an entry-level Wi-Fi 6 router that comes out after ASUS’s first Wi-Fi 6E machine, the GT-AXE11000. So it’s more like an exit-level Wi-Fi 6 broadcaster. …
