ROG Rapture GT-BE98 PRO First Quad-Band WiFi 7 Gaming Router supports 320MHz, Dual 10G Port, Triple-level Game Acceleration, Mobile Game Mode, Subscription-Free Security, AiMesh, and VPN features

I got this to control multibe networks for my iot devices, kids network and primary network. To start the setup is easy and your up and running within 10 minutes usually but this is depending on the settings your ISP use. For what i needed it was great value for money and it is fast and handles crowded network signals really well in that there has not been a noticable performance hit over wifi. The device is regually recieves firmware updates and is still very much supported by Asus, the network segregation adds little to the security of the network but it does allow you to manage these seperate networks differently. It works well with older Asus mesh products but i did find the additional network ID's i had put in place did not play well with the older devices on older firmware. The feature i was interested in was the guest network pro which gave me the ability to control my kids network availability time but it also had limited support over older AI mesh devices. This is a top product for the price and the wifi speeds are as advertised for us but this will vary per household.

Currently upgraded my 2 GT6 routers working in an AI Mesh setup over WiFi to 2 GS-BE18000 same setup! After the initial setup was completed on the app (quick and painless like usual) im currently getting stronger signals and my speed increase was beyond my expectations! I was mostly after 6Ghz band and the added MLO for WiFi 7 which are fantastic in there own ways! The speed increase i have seen between my 2 routers has gone from 200-300 Mbps to 600-800Mbps for me this increases has blown me away! To me this upgrade for reliability, stability, range and speeds for the price these routers are, is worth every penny!

I was looking for an upgrade from me Asus Bluecave AC router, and this popped up on sale. Given that Asus generally are amongst the most active with firmware updates amongst router manufacturers, and that the few reviews of this online were positive i gave it a try. I was toying with a mesh network system, but the ET12s are silly money and the XT8s are getting on a bit. This also hit the sweet spot, as there have been a number of firmware releases since December which have helped squash a number of bugs, security issues etc.. But you'll have to manually trigger a firmware update to get the latest - and THEN set the router to auto update. This is big and loud; two things that had put me off. Thankfully the Mrs gave her seal of approval based on the pictures on the product page so i was covered! The RGB can be turned off, and the red colour on the antennas are just plastic - no lights/LEDs. Once setup it looks like an upended spider, not one of our piddly ones; think giant Aussie Huntsman. Coming from an Asus router the web admin console was familiar, with a few gamer apps/options thrown in. But compared to the Bluecave the AX6000s admin console if ridiculously quick. My Bluecave had a few issues which drove the upgrade; TP-Link KP303 extension strips would knock out 2.4Ghz wifi, Logitech Harmony hubs couldn't get online with it and on the odd occasion my Mrs Laptop would fail to get online. None of those issues have occurred with the AX6000. On to the main reason the buy this; Wifi 6. I have 2 wifi 6 clients active; an AX201 card in a PC motherboard and a Galaxy S10. The PC is located on the floor above the router in a back bedroom - the spacing is about 8-10 meters. Once 160Mhz bandwidth was enabled and the control channel set to over 100 on the 5Ghz band the speed hit: 1361Mbps down. Transferring a 5Gb file to my file server which is hard wired to the router from my PC achieves transfer speeds at 80MB per second. That was to a old fashioned HDD. The Bluecave hit 60MBs at best. In terms of signal strength improvement, i have a wifi security camera on the outside of the house and it would struggle with the BlueCave. Initially the AX6000 didn't far much better, but after 2 days the camera registered full signal - through 1 internal wall, 1 external wall where the camera is behind a steel lintel. All in all a good upgrade; better wifi coverage and speed, a newer product (hopefully supported for as long). The good: +Super simple setup - connect it via ethernet, launch a web browser and it'll start the process +It's fast both in terms of wifi throughput but also performance when in the web admin console +Some degree of future proofing with 2x 2.5Gbps Ethernet sockets (1x WAN and 1x LAN) +Gamer features - VPN, QOS; although some more of a gimmick +Great wifi signal across both bands - but allow it 1-2 days to build up an accurate picture of your house (which it does using wifi signal reflection) and will then adjust the signal to best suit the environment/maximise signal. +Reasonably priced (got mine for £280) +You can turn off the RGB +AiMesh software built into the firmware allows you to turn multiple single Asus routers into a mesh network +MerlinWRT firmware is now available The bad: - It's got a large footprint, almost the size of an A4 sheet - 160Mhz bandwidth is not enabled by default, but is easily enabled - The looks; it screams teenage gamer taste - Not fully future proof: no Wifi 6E A few tips: 1. Upgrade the firmware as soon as you can manually; mine shipped with the earliest release firmware 2. When replacing an existing router reboot your modem or ISP provided router once it's connected via ethernet and powered up. I needed to go this before the AX-6000 picked up the IP address and got onto the internet. 3. Enable 160Mhz bandwidth, it unlocks the real speed 4. Wifi channels below 100 don't make use of the full speed. This can be manually set. 5. Reboot any/all devices if you are re-using SSIDs and passwords from your old router with the new one to get them to register/back online. 6. Auto firmware updates with Asus can be a risk; with my previous router a firmware update killed guest networks and it took them a month to deploy a fix. 7. Use one of the 6 guest networks for your smart home products, and disable intranet access on the guest network for better security/segregation. 8. Use either the router app OR the web console for administration - don't use both as they can cause conflicts.

very customizable options and the app is relatively user friendly once you get used to it Got it on sale and it beats other routers at the same price point in terms of features and tech Although the built in VPN will reduce your internet speeds by about 25% which is normal as the CPU is not built for it I have disabled it in the meantime as I fear constant CPU use will reduce longevity and increase heat

Excellent as described, It seems that this is a lower cost version of ROG router compared to mu previous AX-11000 Pro since it is very light. Hoping that this will be as durable as my prevous ones.
