Built like a spaceship, the ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro Edition 20 is a WiFi 7 router built for gaming

When it comes to gaming routers, performance is king, whether you're connected wirelessly or via a high-speed 10G wired port. Sleek and minimal go out the window when you need multiple large antennas and powerful internal hardware to deliver this. And even with all of that in mind, even among the wide range of gaming routers on the market, there's the new ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro Edition 20 and everything else.

Aside from the striking gold-on-black aesthetic and the transparent panel, the first thing you notice about the ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro Edition 20 up close is its physical size. This is a router the size of a console, and that's due to it being ASUS's flagship quad-band WiFi 7 gaming router, a single device that can power a house full of gamers jumping online to play a few rounds of Counter-Strike 2, ARC Raiders, or even starting a convoy in Forza Horizon 6.

Even among WiFi 7 routers, this is different, as it supports 320 MHz bandwidth, 4096-QAM, and Multi-Link Operation (MLO), with low-latency speeds of up to 30 Gbps. There's also gaming-specific technologies built into the design, including a dedicated wired gaming port, and 'triple-level game acceleration' that basically means if you're gaming while connected to this space-age router, it automatically prioritizes gaming traffic over, say, someone firing up Netflix.

Even though it's got enough WiFi 7 capabilities to handle multiple gamers, it's still packed with dual 10G and four 2.5G ports for those that prefer a hard-wired connection when they go online to game. And as an ASUS router, it comes with advanced security and robust VPN features as standard. And switching back to its 20th anniversary ROG design, the metallic finish also applies to the antennas, which are gold-plated, because why not. Announced at Computex 2026, it joins an impressive lineup of 20th anniversary ROG products.
