The Rapture series continues to push the boundaries of what is possible for gaming and networking. The ROG Rapture GT-BE98 is a quad-band WiFi 7 gaming router tailored for next-gen computing, with speeds of up to 25 Gbps and dual 10Gbps ports.

WiFi 7 (IEEE 802.11be) packs all the benefits of WiFi 6/6E and expands several existing WiFi standards to a whole new level, such as 320 MHz bandwidth and 4K-QAM. And it introduces some revolutionary features like Multi-Link Operation. These combined technologies provide beyond fast speeds, extremely low latency and enhanced reliability. You can enjoy unparalleled network experiences in any online battlefield.

The ROG Rapture GT-BE98 is designed for gamers who want to keep multiple devices connected and still get incredible gaming performance. Enjoy up to sixteen simultaneous WiFi streams for more video streaming, gaming, and browsing for everyone in your home.

WiFi 7 introduces all-new ultrawide 320 MHz channel bandwidth, doubling data transmission capacity. Think of networking as a virtual freeway and the doubled bandwidth as a doubling of the number of lanes. Now larger vehicles are allowed to get on the freeway and can pack more data than ever before.

4K-QAM can improve data transmission rates versus WiFi 6/6E by up to 20%, because a higher QAM can pack signals more densely. Continuing with the freeway analogy, now higher QAM permits more merchandise to be loaded into every vehicle. In other words, you can now upload and download more data in the same time frame as before.

Multi-Link Operation (MLO) allows a device to simultaneously connect on multiple frequency bands, enabling faster speeds by aggregating bandwidth, with more reliable WiFi connections on multiple concurrently used bands. Connecting to multiple bands in this manner also enables “seamless switching” where your data will automatically be allocated to the most suitable band to reduce latency.

The ROG Rapture GT-BE98 is powered by a powerful quad-core 2.6 GHz CPU and WiFi chipset, giving it the performance to handle even the most demanding scenarios, such as 10 Gbps WiFi connections, next-gen cloud-based computing, cloud gaming and cloud AI.

The ROG Rapture GT-BE98 is equipped with eight sturdy external antennas and sixteen powerful internal dipole antenna elements, while each radio frequency chain has an independent high-power amplifier. Four antennas feature a dual-feed design using copper tubes that provide high efficiency and significantly enhanced signal strength. This optimized antenna array ensures better signal isolation for simultaneous transmission and reception at different frequencies in adjacent bands.

Heat can kill performance. The ROG Rapture GT-BE98 features an aluminum plate on the top that is 30% thicker, an abrasive-blasted nanocarbon layer and a two-centimeter stand. Coupled with a specially designed vent and heat spreader, this router improves airflow with 18% better heat dissipation.

Unleash the power of 10 Gbps network for gaming, streaming and other speed intensive applications. LAN aggregation support further boosts your wired network to up to 20 Gbps for more demanded devices such as workstation PC or NAS server.

Quad 2.5G ports ensure maximized wired connectivity and flexibility, paving the way for your most bandwidth-intensive games to leverage ultrafast internet connections.

The 10 Gbps LAN is configured as dedicated gaming port, prioritizing any connected gaming devices.

Choose the WAN perfect for you with triple WAN ports design, including 10 Gbps WAN, 2.5 Gbps WAN or USB WAN. Plus, plug-and-play 4G/ 5G mobile tethering for always-on Internet. Say goodbye to high ping. The GT-BE98 boosts your PC gaming traffic every step of the way, from your PC gaming port all the way to the game server.

Prioritize the network traffic of your favorite mobile game, minimizing lag and latency with just a tap on the ASUS Router mobile app.

Using OpenNAT on GT-BE98 couldn’t be easier. Enjoy faster connection speed, shorter lobby wait times and smoother gameplay with legacy game consoles or popular gaming handhelds.

Ever-evolving online threats such as malicious website phishing, webcam hacking or ransomware can result in a loss of privacy and finances. The ROG Rapture GT-BE98 includes commercial-grade AiProtection Pro powered by Trend Micro to shield your network from cyber threats.
