ASUS 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.

So along with other reviewers this is useless with the firmware above version ending in 6436. The speeds suffer dramatically but it can easily be fixed and reverted down to any firmware version you'd like. Version 7xxx introduces WPA3 WiFi security, the first time I've ever seen that implemented. However speeds from the router drop by 90% which is why it isn't yet ready for general use. I'm on virgin using their really terrible hub 3 which cannot reach my whole home. Prior to that I was using, very successfully, the BT included smart hub 2 which was so good I discarded the Plusnet hub when I switched in favour of the by hub which I reconfigured easily to distribute Plusnet internet. That's my last 3 years of internet experience with WiFi routers! The Virgin hub3 is terrible. Speeds are good to you're standing right next to it but for your generally larger than 1 bed home, don't bother using it. I bought the GT ax 11000 to use and easily connected it to the hub3 in modem mode. To do that you wire the devices together after choosing modem mode in the Virgin hub 3 settings page, you can use any rj45 socket and cable (gen 7 is cheap now), switch on the router first, then after a minute or so switch on the Virgin hub 3, so that it finds the router in a state of grace. It then allocates an IP address to the router which then begins broadcasting internet. The Virgin hub3 turns a solid red after cycling through some green colours which means things are good. I have paired this with 2 AX92Us in my 3 floor townhouse and the performance is superb with excellent cover all over. On its own, it covers all but the 4th corner bedroom top floor, where speeds drop to 20mbps from the 213mbps everywhere else. Initial impressions: a beast of a router. It's huge. The box is beautiful, the Rog sign is aura compatible when wired into my custom-built-by-myself Asus Rog PC apparently, but I haven't tried that yet. You can switch the light off completely along with the white LEDs on the front. The 8 antennae state 'asus high performance antenna' on each. They screw in and click fold in at 45 degree or 90 degree from a flat 180 degree extension. It's quite heavy in total. Hardware: The 4 core CPU runs at 5% utilisation most of the time and the ram runs at 60%. When paired with the AX92Us the ram utilisation is 94% with no performance degradation. There are 2 usb 3.1 gen slots for adding in wired hard disk drives which I have done and use as network Lan or FTP if you are adventurous. There is a 2.5gb port which is really good if you know what it does, and 4 other standard Lan ports. Setup: is a breeze using the 'Asus router' app. You can, if not wanting an app, use your computer or mobile device and make your way to router.asus.com or 192.168.50.1 which is what the default base address is. The settings homepage seems formidable at first, but easy to understand once you tinker about. You can save the settings file to your computer and restore if needed, but you need to restore using the same asus firmware you saved them in. Firmware is easily updated by using the app or using the administration tab in the WiFi settings. The way Asus have built these things is really cool. The Aimesh really is a good idea. You can use any old Asus routers you have lying around to form an extended mesh. Obviously I've used 2 new ax routers to ge the best speeds possible for gaming using a hardwired connection to one of them, but I don't have any WiFi capable devices yet for the WiFi 6 protocol this has. Some friends will turn up with latest iPhones and will notice a difference! Quite expensive for what it is, in essence, a router, which is why I bought a used Amazon warehouse item for almost half price at £197. I wouldn't dare buy this at full price ever, instead I'd buy the AX92Us for the offer price of £266, which happens every 3 months or so, which is what I got them for new.

ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX6000 The router comes well packed, with the router itself, aerials, and a power supply, a Cat6 cable and a quick start leaflet. One slightly disappointing issue is that there are only five lan ports. With a router this expensive I would expect eight. The finish is more like the RT-AX82U, in that it is not that expensive looking. Older routers certainly look and feel more impressive. This router is light and, well, dare I say it, very plastic. The legs don't light up and even the illuminated Asus logo really doesn't do it. Mine was unevenly lit and the effects not at all smooth. The aerials have red plastic inserts but they don't light up so I am not sure why they bothered. All in all it looks like a cheap router. Strange considering the gaming world is very particular about product looks. Strange coming from Asus too, they are normally produce good looking products. Plugging in you need to attempt to access the internet with a browser and you are immediately met with the Asus configuration page. You need to sort out some passwords so it’s advisable to have paper and pencil handy. The setup is remarkably good and is a really strong feature of the router. If you have owned an Asus router before then the user interface comes as no surprise. It has all the familiar options with a few new ones. Overall performance of the router is just staggering. It's very fast indeed. No complaints there! There are a wealth of options in the Asus including the new three step gaming acceleration. I have to say that I found this a little disappointing because it was involved setting it up. It is also very "Asus" oriented in that it boosts performance for Asus hardware and apps running on your PC. I couldn't even find where one of the apps downloaded from. This is very different to something like the DumaOS which is configured out of the box - ready to rock as they say - no configuration required. The Asus has more potential though as long as you don't mind spending time getting to know what it all does. One downside to the router is that nearly all of the advanced features need your consent to allow Trend to collect your data. That can even consist of emails. I am not sure what to think. On the one hand the performance is great, the flexibility is great, but the looks and ports are very meh for the price. Overall if you have a rubbish router at the moment then this is a great general purpose replacement but if you want an out of the box gaming router or if you are looking to upgrade an already good router then perhaps look elsewhere. The Asus is a lot to pay for not a lot of new features. As a general purpose router there is no doubt the Asus is excellent and now it is supported by Merlin which adds one star. Unfortunately the price really is a big negative with this router. Oh, and don't believe the "reduces ping by 90%". Unless you have a very specific problem, it's not going to solve anything. Recommended but over-priced and good grief Asus, do something about the looks!

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.
