ASUS has unveiled its new top-of-the-line gaming router, the ROG Rapture GT-BE98. This device leverages Wi-Fi 7 technology to offer four simultaneous bands, aiming to reduce latency in competitive gaming and handle 8K streaming without issues. It positions itself as an option for those demanding maximum performance from their home networks, especially in environments with multiple connected devices.
Quad-band and Wi-Fi 7 for intensive traffic 🚀
The GT-BE98 operates on the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and two 6 GHz bands, reaching aggregate speeds of up to 25,000 Mbps. It incorporates a quad-core 2.6 GHz processor and 2 GB of RAM to manage network traffic. Its support for 320 MHz channel width on the 6 GHz band enables faster data transfers. It includes features like adaptive QoS and VPN Fusion, which allows using a VPN and a direct connection simultaneously.
Eight antennas so the neighbor doesn't steal your ping 📡
The GT-BE98's design looks like it came from a B-movie spaceship, with eight external antennas screaming I'm the boss of the frequency here. If your house isn't a reinforced concrete fortress, this router will probably cover the neighbor's house too, so get your password ready. Of course, its price is directly proportional to the number of antennas, so you'll have to choose between eating this week or having the lowest ping in the neighborhood.
