Game beyond speeds

The Rapture series continues to push the boundaries of what is possible for gaming and networking. The ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro is a quad-band WiFi 7 gaming router tailored for next-gen computing, with dual 6 GHz band, speeds of up to 30 Gbps and dual 10Gbps ports.

Leap Forward with WiFi 7

> Learn more about WiFi 7 technology

WiFi 7 (IEEE 802.11be) packs all the benefits of WiFi 6/6E and expands several existing WiFi standards to a whole new level, such as 320 MHz bandwidth and 4K-QAM. And it introduces some revolutionary features like Multi-Link Operation. These combined technologies provide beyond fast speeds, extremely low latency and enhanced reliability. You can enjoy unparalleled network experiences in any online battlefield.

  • Beyond fast
    30 Gbps
    quad-band WiFi 7
  • Up to
    2.4x Faster
    compared to WiFi 6 / 6E*
  • Up to
    2x Capacity
    with new 320 MHz bandwidth*
  • Up to
    1.2x Transmission
    with enhanced 4K-QAM*

*WiFi 7 features require WiFi routers and client devices with WiFi 7-supported operating systems to support the corresponding features.

  • Dual 6 GHz Bands

    The game-changing dual 6 GHz bands unleash true WiFi 7 capability for both backhaul and fronthaul. By using one 6 GHz band as dedicated wireless backhaul* with ASUS exclusive AiMesh technology, you can enjoy a seamless WiFi 7 mesh network with rich features.

  • Ultrawide 320 MHz Bandwidth

    WiFi 7 introduces all-new ultrawide 320 MHz channel bandwidth, doubling data transmission capacity. Think of networking as a virtual freeway and the doubled bandwidth as a doubling of the number of lanes. Now larger vehicles are allowed to get on the freeway and can pack more data than ever before.

    • 320 MHz

    • 160 MHz

  • 4K-QAM Data Transmission

    4K-QAM can improve data transmission rates versus WiFi 6/6E by up to 20%, because a higher QAM can pack signals more densely. Continuing with the freeway analogy, now higher QAM permits more merchandise to be loaded into every vehicle. In other words, you can now upload and download more data in the same time frame as before.

    • 4096-QAM

      12 bits/symbal

    • 1024-QAM

      10 bits/symbal

  • Multi-link Operation

    Multi-Link Operation (MLO) allows a device to simultaneously connect on multiple frequency bands, enabling faster speeds by aggregating bandwidth, with more reliable WiFi connections on multiple concurrently used bands. Connecting to multiple bands in this manner also enables “seamless switching” where your data will automatically be allocated to the most suitable band to reduce latency.

    • MLO

      6 GHz
      5 GHz
      2.4 GHz

    • Without MLO
