ASUS GT-AXE16000

The world's first quad-band WiFi 6E gaming router

The trailblazing ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 is the world's very first quad-band WiFi 6E gaming router, delivering incredible speeds of up to 16000 Mbps. We've unlocked the full potential of the four frequency bands — 2.4 GHz, two 5 GHz* bands, and 6 GHz — with 160 MHz channels in the 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands to bring you the fastest speeds possible.
*The 160MHz bandwidth may be unavailable in the 5GHz band in some regions / countries due to regulatory restrictions.

Experience ultimate connectivity

With four frequency bands available, you can dedicate each band to different devices for faster and smoother WiFi connections. It also gives you even more flexible options for connecting ASUS AiMesh-compatible routers as mesh nodes if you want to create a whole-home mesh system.

Built as the ultimate AiMesh router

By default, one of GT-AXE16000's two 5 GHz bands is used as a dedicated backhaul connection to the central router, so your devices still have full tri-band access to the 2.4 GHz band, the second 5GHz band and the 6 GHz band.

5GHz-2 dedicated backhaul for mesh and other 3 bands are free for connection

Built as the ultimate AiMesh router

Alternatively, with WiFi 6E AiMesh nodes you can configure a 6 GHz backhaul connection, providing fast and interference-free transmission between nodes for an optimized mesh experience.

WiFi 6E - 6 GHz band

WiFi 6E gives you up to seven* additional high-speed 160 MHz channels, for multi-gigabit speeds with stable and consistent connections. It dramatically increases network capacity while reducing bandwidth congestion, delivering higher performance for every WiFi 6E device.

*Subject to regulatory limitations, and co-existence with 5 GHz WiFi. Number of channels may be less than 7. If no 6 GHz SSID is displayed, please check whether your OS and client device are fully licensed to support the newly released 6 GHz band. You can check with your OS and client device provider for the WiFi 6E driver release schedule.

Flexible network port configuration

ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 has two dual-function 10 Gbps WAN/LAN ports, four 1 Gbps LAN ports, and a 2.5 Gbps WAN port. This flexibility gives you the ability to deliver massive bandwidth to your wired devices, and take advantage of ultra-high-speed internet connections in any scenarios.
