Key information
The ASUS ROG Rapture GT-BN98 has debuted as the world's first Wi-Fi 8 router, launching globally in Australia. As the successor to Wi-Fi 7 and Wi-Fi 6, this new hardware introduces brand-new technology designed to transform home networks by focusing heavily on Ultra-High Reliability alongside speed.
The router brings significant improvements to mid- to long-range performance, maintaining smooth signals for mobile users and handheld devices even as distance from the router increases. It features smart technology that prevents access points from targeting identical devices simultaneously, creating an interference-free environment and acting as a traffic controller for stationary gear like consoles.
Gamers benefit from Adaptive Quality of Experience, an evolution of Quality of Service that prioritizes network traffic for specific devices. This allows users to play games like Counter-Strike 2 with up to 34% lower latency while other household members stream 4K movies or download updates concurrently.
Available now in Australia, the ROG Rapture GT-BN98 is listed on Amazon for $1,999 with free shipping. The hardware features eight high-performance antennas, quad-band coverage, enterprise-grade security, and dedicated LAN ports for gaming.
