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

When it comes to PC gaming, it’s all about the fastest speeds possible. Asus wants to meet these high demands with the ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 Quad-Band WiFi Router. The world’s first quad-band WiFi 6E gaming router transmitting on the 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz bands (WiFi 6E). WiFi 6E uses a wide frequency spectrum (with a bandwidth of 160MHz) in the 5GHz and 6GHz bands. Neighboring devices can use fast WiFi at the same time without conflicting with each other and thus slowing themselves down. To ensure maximum network throughput, the ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 is equipped with a Broadcom WiFi chipset and a matching next-generation processor. According to Asus, this enables lightning-fast data transfer and an enhanced gaming experience. According to the manufacturer, WLAN signal range and overall coverage are improved by up to 38% with the ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000.

This allows you to connect multiple compatible ASUS routers to create a mesh WiFi network for the whole home. For users with WiFi 6E devices, such as the Asus ROG Phone 5, one of the 5GHz bands can be used as a direct connection (“plug”) to the router. While the other three bands available are free for more device connections. Additionally, the Rapture GT-AXE16000’s 6GHz band can be used for extremely fast transmission to another WiFi 6E router.
