ROG Rapture GT6

4.5/5

Best Wi-Fi Mesh System for Gaming

4.5 stars

A high-end mesh Wi-Fi system aimed at gamers is, admittedly, something of a niche product. But if you live in a larger home with lots of bedrooms, then the speed and range of the Asus RoG Rapture GT6 is hard to beat. You don’t have to be a network guru either, as the well-designed Asus app will have you up and running in no time at all.

However, there's no doubting the GT6's performance. Its download speed for the bedroom was the highest I have seen from any router.

In combination with the Intel AX201 WLAN card and the GT6, I have so far seen the best values of a WLAN router ever in a test over short and medium distances!

... the device features some interesting characteristics, including 3 configurable Wi-Fi network channels, two of which can push Wi-Fi 6 [...], 3 1G Ethernet ports, USB 3.2 at the rear and the ability to mesh several devices together to extend the available wireless network surface area. Add to that the ability to use a smartphone's 4G over-the-air and you have a solution that will bring flexibility to any installation.

9.0 Tubi rating

In the world of competitive gaming, latency is everything as even a small delay would be the difference between winning or losing a competitive game. While using a wired Ethernet connection is always preferred, that’s not possible for mobile gamers or those staying in a rental property.

Best performance

ROG Rapture GT6 installed via the app is regarded as a Mesh System that is simple to set up. It is regarded as an intriguing mesh system because of how easy connections are. Gorgeous appearance in the ROG fashion.

Videogiochitalia.it Score

If you are looking for a network system that prioritizes gaming and want to set up a mesh system because you may have a huge or multi-story home, it is a super recommended choice. Especially if you are avid online multiplayer gamers and hate cables. The design is spot-on: the ROG logo and the words "For Those Who Dare" and "WiFi 6 Gaming Mesh Router" are prominently printed on each unit, and the LEDs look great in the dark.

Game-Experience Score

ASUS ROG Rapture GT6 is a great solution for expanding the coverage of one's Wi-Fi network without a decrease in performance even a considerable distance from the base router. For the price at which it is offered, perhaps it could have equipped itself with more powerful LAN ports, but between the simplicity of configuration and the remarkable performance, it still proves to be one of the most intriguing Wi-Fi mesh systems for those who always need maximum power for streaming and gaming.

PC Guia Excellence

The ROG Rapture GT6 features a 1.7 GHz triple-core ARM processor, an effective heatsink that ensures high-performance operation for long periods, and a total of nine internal antennas, circular in shape, placed in different positions to ensure greater coverage and avoid “dead” zones.

PC Guia Excellence

Mesh technology keeps getting better and the Rapture GT6 is a good solution for those who have games as their priority. They are expensive, but very effective: they simply work.

DD recommended

It has practically everything you want from a router in the upper middle class today, plus a few extra "gaming" elements, especially the look where it's not just another gray box.

BUG Recommended

One of the best mesh nodes in Asus' offer, they bring extreme wireless performance and an impressive list of functions.

Editors Choice

Even just one GT6 router is a powerful device that covers a large area with a wireless network, and two are just the reinforcement we need when we have larger and more complex apartments or houses and we want to cover every square inch of them with a strong WiFi signal.

Editors Choice

Advanced gaming capabilities, high performance and excellent signal coverage make this router a very interesting option for a house or a larger apartment.

Design, build quality, 2.5Gbps WAN port, three 1 Gbps ports (2 Gbps aggregation), powerful software, performance, high signal coverage.

Editors Choice

Asus promotes its AiMesh technology and incorporates it into almost all of its routers, so the GT6 is also designed that way, and besides being a stand-alone device with two in the package, it also comes with three in the package.

Platinum award

Due to the excellent transfer speeds achieved in the test, as well as the capabilities of the ASUS ROG Rapture GT6, it deserves the "AXE Platinum" award.
