Customer Ratings & Reviews

It does the job quite well. Amazing interface. Highly customizable. Multi band four channels wifi with multiple hard ports on the back. This is a beast. However, it is pricey, and you definitely get what you pay for. That's the only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars. It was a big hit to my pocketbook although it is well worth it.

It was time for an upgrade, my Asus 3100 router was old and so was the cable plant in my home. I changed by Cat 5 to Cat 6 cable and upgraded to the GT-BE98. This router is a beast! It has endless configuration options, including two separate 6ghz radios. I wired my gaming PC directly to the router so I minimized any bottlenecks. Signal range was about the same as my old 3100. I don’t have many devices that use Wi-Fi 7, only our new iPhone 17s. Once I upgraded my FIOS connection to 2GBPS, my speed tests (done from the router) went from 630MBPS to 2350MGPS! HUGE improvement. If you want to maximize your options, this is the router to buy. It is expensive, but can be configured for endless scenarios and is as future proof as I could find.

Top of the line router, i'm so glad ASUS is in this market now after years of only buying Netgear. While this is very expensive i now have a proper multi-gig router. I can get the full 2.5 gigs that Comcast provides without any bottlenecks due to networking gear. Also a dedicated 10gig port which i have my mulit gig NAS hooked up to.

I am enjoying the speeds even without many wifi 7 devices. It seems better than the ASUS ax11000 its replacing. I ran some ethernet cable to have a better backbone for the mesh network. Excellent.

This is an awesome product for whatever you may need this for ! Currently have a 10gb/s plan and it helps get every thing I can get out of the plan. If you have a high tech home, want to separate devices and rooms on their own individual networks you can do this too !

Havent had any issues from the device, so far. Good coverage throughout the house and speeds are a sadvertised. The only bottle neck is my ISP.

BOOOOOOOOOY this thing is sweet! I have a wife that works from home plus kids. I can group all their devices and monitor up and down speeds. The app has functions so that you can prioritize which devices you want to have better speed. Made me a little nervous when installing my own VPN but it was just resetting itself. Definitely do a little research and follow the instructions along with the app. Great buy and can't wait to add on more for a mesh wifi system

I've had the Asus ZenWifi Pro ET12 AI Mesh system for two years it was great. I wanted to add another node so I took a chance on the GT-BE98 as an upgrade but still able to operate in a mesh with my existing setup. Migration was simple. Backup my ET12 and then restore onto the GT-BE98. I would say 90% of the settings was transferred over, there was that 10% mainly on the WiFi network setup that needed to be adjusted because the new router has other features like WiFi 7. After that was sorted. It was easy to add my other nodes as AI Mesh endpoints with a dedicated 2.5G wired backhaul. I think it's great that Asus makes the AI Mesh interoperable between units and different generations f WiFi. Obviously Mu-MIMO only works on the GT-BE98 but the other WiFi 6E features work on the other nodes. I also upgraded my connection to the internet from 2.5G to 10G, but currently I only pay for 1G since I rarely need more than that. It's great to know it's upgradeable.

I upgraded from a Wi-Fi 6 setup and the difference is huge. My ping dropped in multiplayer games, downloads are blazing fast, and I can stream 4K while gaming with zero buffering. The quad-band setup manages multiple devices with ease, and the gaming prioritization features actually work. If you’re building a high-end setup, this router is a must.

setup was... a bit of an adventure. So the base firmwar on this router was SO old that it did NOT know how to talk to my fiber modem... it just was full Patrick with a nail in his forehead. I had to tether my phone via usb to the modem to update its firmware. After that? This may be the fastest router ive ever had. almost 80mb/s down from over 100yds away. In house? doing almost 600mb/s on an iphone 13. My wired pc... getting within 4% of my rated up down of 1gb... doing north of 940up and down. This thing cooks... quite literally. Give it open air.. the top vent realllllly puts out some heat.

Awesome router. Super fast and easy to setup. I highly recommended this router.

Amazing network coverage with ISP of 3gb download 3gb upload no more dead spots in house amazing network speed,with 38 WiFi devices connected even in the backyard of me and my neighbor a bit pricey but if you want the needs for speed this is the way to go

This thing is a beast! With my last router, I could not get the speeds I paid for. This has allowed me to surpass what I pay for and I LOVE this thing.

Best gaming router on the market hands down. Super user friendly and acts as modem as well, so I could drop the rental charge from ISP. The dedicated ROG port for gaming makes the difference! I have 1gbps up/down fiber... this router is utilizing ALL of my bandwidth from my house to the ISP. Inside my house, I am gaining the FULL Hardwired ethernet connection and it dropping my online gaming ping by 25 locally, 100 continental US and Overseas!!!

Great Router not just for gaming but ive known businesses to use it as well. The settings may seem overwhelming at first glance but if you take your time the biggest advantage of ASUS Pro series routers is the free lifetime subscription for their AI powered Firewall.

This router is superb. Very powerful and customizable through that Asus app or online. I now have two of these with one acting as an AImesh satellite. This uses 6 ghz backhaul and connects directly to devices such as TV, Nvidia Shield, Apple TV etc. Upload and download speeds are excellent also. Highly recommended

It works great as it should! I would purchase it again. One thing I noticed though is it seems since having this I noticed devices connected to router like my computer, iPad, phone, and such... etc... I noticed one on it called Cloud Network Technology singap, which I do not have a device that says that, I looked it up and apparently the China company that makes this will connect to you network randomly, I do not think china needs to be connecting to my network at any time, they should connect to there now stuff not mine. But it is what it is, and seems to work great.

In a league of its own! Best there is available. You want the best? Be prepared to pay for it.

I upgraded to the ASUS ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro after years of using the Netgear X10. The X10 was a great router in its time, and honestly, I was happy with it for a long while. But lately, I started to notice that it just wasn’t keeping up. I pay for 1 Gig internet, and with the X10, I was lucky to see around 700 Mbps, even though I have a Netgear CM2000 modem that’s supposed to handle up to 2.5 Gig. Something clearly wasn’t working right, and it became obvious that the bottleneck was the router. Since switching to the GT-BE98 Pro, everything has been on a different level. My speeds are way higher and much more consistent across all my devices. Gaming connectivity has improved noticeably too, matches feel smoother and more responsive, and I’m not seeing random ping spikes like I used to. The ASUS app is another huge plus. It makes setting up and managing the network super easy, but it still gives you real control over everything if you want to dig deeper. I actually feel like I’m managing my network now instead of just hoping for the best. The 6 GHz range is a little shorter than the other bands, but honestly, it’s already giving me speeds higher than what I’m even paying for, so it’s absolutely worth it. This router completely crushed my expectations. If you want serious performance and total control over your WiFi, this is the one to get.

Replaced my AXE16000 with this router so I can get full bandwidth with Google Fibre. Excellent buy. The 10Gb WAN Ethernet port works correctly unlike the AXE16000. I'm using this with the AXE16000 as a mesh access point. Super fast with my Internet. I'm getting sub 10 ms latency to game servers.
