The short version
The ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro is ASUS's quad-band BE30000 Wi-Fi 7 gaming router, running one 2.4 GHz, one 5 GHz and two 6 GHz radios. It pairs two 10 Gbps ports with four 2.5 Gbps ports, one Gigabit port and USB 3.2 and 2.0, plus game acceleration, AiMesh and subscription-free security.
