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.
The ROG Rapture GT-BE98 is equipped with one 10 Gbps WAN/LAN port, two 10 Gbps LAN ports, four Gigabit LAN ports, plus one USB 3.0 port and one USB 2.0 port. In addition, ASUS’s unique RangeBoost Plus can improve the overall coverage of the signal, which will be more useful for gamers with larger living areas. In addition, ROG Rapture GT-BE98 has ASUS’s unique game acceleration function, providing a better gaming experience.
