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 !

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.

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.

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.

AI Mesh for the win!!

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.

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

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

Next Level Router for Serious Speed & Gaming

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.

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.

A Very Competent Router

The 4x 2.5GbE ports and 2x 10GbE ports really make this worth the money. Add that to the way this router utilizes 2 bands of 6Ghz WiFi as a backhual and standard offering for devices actauuly makes a 6GhZ mesh system worth it. Or maybe only worth. However thr distance of the wifi isnt great with the fater speeds this thing offers. So if thats your primary reason for purchasing this keep that in mind. My home network uses the Dual WAN and is a hybrid of Aimesh and Cat6 runs. Having the ability to have multi-gigabit WAN connections and then more ports to send that across my homes Cat6 is a must have for me. The GUI isnt unfamiliar from other Asus router offerings and still seems to operate much like all other Asus Dual WAN routers. So kinda meh for some but I never have had an issue. I hate RBG so being able to turn it off on thr router is also very nice.
