2. Press the WPS button on the bottom of RP-AC87 for more
than two (2) seconds, until the Power LED starts to blink.
NOTE: Refer to the router’s manual for the location of the WPS
button.
3. Check if RP-AC87’s Wi-Fi indicator turns solid light, which
indicates that the Repeater has connected to the wireless
network successfully. The Repeater’s wireless network name

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.

book/tablet, to find and connect to ASUS_RPAC87 /ASUS_
RPAC87_5G wireless network.
