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

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.

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.

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.

If you’re looking to future-proof your network, the ASUS ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro is the way to go. I upgraded from a Wi-Fi 6 router and the difference is night and day. This Wi-Fi 7 beast delivers blazing fast speeds, smooth gaming, and excellent coverage throughout my entire home.

I have been using the GT-BE98 Pro for about a month, and it has lived up to its promises. So far, so good. Very strong and powerful signal throughout the house.

Was a little iffy at first, but after a firmware update it is running super fast and well balanced in my home with tomany connections to wifi. Upgraded from a WiFi 6 to this and the mimo is way better.

This router pushes amazing signal quality over long distances, regardless of which of the three bands you’re using. Unfortunately, it costs so much that my wife said no.
