ASUS releases ROG Rapture GT-BE98, the first quad-band Wi-Fi 7 router

ASUS announced the ROG Rapture GT-BE98, the industry’s first quad-band Wi-Fi 7 gaming router. ASUS says the ROG Rapture GT-BE98 is up to 160 percent faster than the previous generation and can unleash the full potential of Wi-Fi 7.

According to TechPowerup, ROG Rapture GT-BE98 is equipped with a quad-core processor with a frequency of 2.6GHz, paired with 2GB of DDR4 memory and 256MB of storage, through a 2.4GHz frequency band (1376Mbps), two 5G frequency bands (5762Mbps x2), and a 6G frequency band ( 11525Mbps), providing a total of 25000 Mbps wireless connection rate. Utilizing 4K QAM modulation combined with 160/320MHz bandwidth allows more data to be packed into data transmission, increasing peak data rates by up to 20%.

ROG Rapture GT-BE98 also has two revolutionary functions, Multi-Link Operation (MLO) and Multi-RU Puncturing, which can provide a more efficient and reliable wireless connection. Multilink operation simultaneously transmits across different frequency bands and channels to increase device throughput, reduce latency, and improve reliability. Multi-RU Puncturing is able to divide wide channel bandwidth into smaller units while reducing interference and improving efficiency.
