ROG Rapture GT-BE98: Asus’s first Quad-band Wi-Fi 7 gaming router

The ROG Rapture GT-BE98 is similar to Asus’s previous Quad-band Wi-Fi 6E router, the GT-AXE1600. It has one 2.4GHz band, two 5GHz bands, and one 6GHz band.

The most significant difference, however, is it supports Wi-Fi 7. Consequently, it has a much higher total wireless bandwidth — up to 25000Mbps — as you will note in the specification table below.

As a gaming router, the GT-BE98 comes with a striking look. Asus says the new Wi-Fi machine’s top is partly transparent to reveal some advanced circuitry and heatsinks on the inside — the stuff that supposedly makes the router powerful. On top of that, per Asus, “a bold graphic design communicates the ROG spirit”, whatever that means.

What’s most significant about the GT-BE98, however, might be the fact it’s the first consumer-grade router that includes three 10GbE ports, which sure will make fans of Multi-Gig happy.
