ASUS - ROG Rapture GT-BE19000AI Tri-Band Wi-Fi 7 Gaming Router - White

Not only is this product a monster in size but the range, signal strength and speeds it can handle is absurd. Highly recommended for your space ship of a PC and family of devices.

The experience with this flagship router wasn't ideal. The GT-BE19000AI now supports AFC and works very well; the 6GHz band is extremely fast and reaches almost as far as the 5GHz band. However, there are two unresolved troublesome issues with this router: 1. it constantly gets stuck at a blank page after login. ASUS has yet to identify the cause of this bug. 2. if you enable Adaptive QoE or malicious site blocking / tracker blocking, etc., some devices' 6GHz speed drops from close to 2000Mbps to just 400Mbps. ASUS has identified this issue but doesn't have an ETA for the fix. Overall, I don't think the extra features from this router is worth it over the previous flagship GT-BE98 Pro. Other than AFC and a 4GB RAM, the GT-BE98 Pro offers a far more stable and pleasant experience. Plus, it's 33% cheaper.

I’m kind of disappointed at the moment because I thought this came with AFC out the gate, but it did not have to wait for the update which who knows when that is honestly also, I have the previous flagship router, the rapture 98 pro and I feel like that one has a strong stronger signal, but whenever this firmware updates and enable the AFC (automatic frequency control) it should be a better signal it reaches my PC on a 6 GHz band all the way across my house, but the new one does not but currently it is a weaker 6 GHz signal range compared to the previous model. I would wait until that particular update comes out. I bought it too early because I’m stupid. And I thought it had AFC on it day one That is the only reason that I give it four stars and the price is also outrageous.

I am using ASUs router for a long time now and the initial setup got better and better each time. The first setup with this AI router was a breeze, a firmware update was offered and went without any problems. Time will tell but so far, I love this router especially the range is the strongest I had so far. I set AFC and adaptive QoE and it has been beautiful so far. I always place my router on a cooling pad since it is running 24/7 and cool chips are happy chips.

I have wanted for some time now to setup an IOT network and to isolate my work PCs. Not having much IT experience, I knew I was in for a headache. Honestly it was not so bad, the GUI assumes that you know things like DHCP; Overall the setup was easy enough. This router is very fast, even with three gaming consoles, streaming service, voice, gaming PC and two work PCs there is no noticeable lag. The included AI software suit is very nice and has no subscription fees. Within the GUI it even gives you a health monitor and shows you ways to make your network more secure. What is also nice, is that once you do create an IOT VLAN you can also broadcast that VLAN to WIFI within the same network which makes things like bridges and HUBs able to talk to each other without going outside of their own VLAN. This is by far the best router that I have owned. P.S. This router went on sale three days after I bought it, I called BestBuy and they refunded me the difference right away no problems. WAY TO Go........ BestBuy!!!!!!!!!!!!
