At the same time, high-speed ports allow you to take full advantage of multi-Gig internet services and devices.
Dual 6 GHz Bands
With support for two 6 GHz bands, you can dedicate one to backhaul communication with AiMesh compatible mesh network satellites or use them both for connected devices.
320 MHz Bandwidth
Wi-Fi 7 introduces the 320 MHz channel bandwidth, which doubles the data transmission capacity of the 160 MHz Wi-Fi 6 channels.
4K-QAM Data Transmission
4K-QAM can improve data transmission rates versus Wi-Fi 6/6E by up to 20%, because a higher QAM can pack signals more densely.
Multi-link Operation
Multi-Link Operation (MLO) allows a device to simultaneously connect on multiple frequency bands, enabling faster speeds by aggregating bandwidth, with more reliable Wi-Fi 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.
Performance
Powered by a 2.6 GHz quad-core processor, this router is designed to deliver reliable performance for demanding applications such as cloud-based computing, gaming, and AI.
Eliminate Dead Zones
Each of the eight external antennas is equipped with sixteen internal dipole antenna elements while each radio frequency chain has an independent amplifier. Four of the antennas feature a dual-feed design using copper tubes that provide high efficiency and significantly enhanced signal strength. This optimized antenna array helps to ensure better signal isolation for simultaneous transmission and reception at different frequencies in adjacent bands.
Maximized Connectivity
Designed for high speed and flexibility, you can connect to multi-Gig internet services using the 10G or 2.5G WAN/LAN ports. Then take full advantage of the bandwidth by connecting compatible devices to the 10G and 2.5G LAN ports. The 10G LAN port may be configured as a dedicated gaming port that's prioritized above all others. There are also three 2.5G LAN ports available alongside a one Gigabit LAN port. Use the USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 and 2.0 port to connect storage drives and cellular network devices for alternate internet connections.
Play It Cool
The ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro features an aluminum plate, an abrasive-blasted nanocarbon layer, and a two-centimeter stand. Coupled with a specially designed vent and heat spreader, this router provides optimized heat dissipation to sustain performance.
Triple-Level Game Acceleration
Optimize your connection to game servers to reduce ping and increase responsiveness.
