ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced the ROG Rapture GT-BE19000 tri-band WiFi 7 gaming router at Computex 2024. This next-generation powerhouse is designed to dominate gaming and computing experiences with ultra-fast tri-band WiFi 7 speeds of up to 19 Gbps, innovative features like Automatic Frequency Coordination, and comprehensive wired and wireless network functions.
Next-gen WiFi power
The ASUS ROG Rapture GT-BE19000 router boasts ultra-fast wireless speeds of up to 19 Gbps, thanks to innovative WiFi 7 features like 320 MHz channels, 4096-QAM, and Multi-Link Operation. It is the world’s first gaming router with Automatic Frequency Coordination. AFC automatically checks the WiFi environment and chooses the least congested channel in the 6 GHz band, boosting peak transmit power by up to 63 times higher than Low Power Indoor networking devices. The GT-BE19000 also provides up to 31 Gbps of wired capacity, including dual 10 Gb Ethernet and quad 2.5 Gb Ethernet ports, ensuring strong, stable connections for building a robust local network in the new era of AI.
Effortless game boosts with Gaming Network
Guest Network Pro is an ASUS-exclusive network segmentation technology. It empowers gamers to manage network features and connected devices easily by connecting to a dedicated SSID or VLAN. Guest Network Pro features a Kid’s Network, IoT Network, VPN Network and Guest Network to meet most modern network needs. It also features IoT device setup and management, parental controls, and advanced VPN instant connection.
The Guest Network Pro technology in the GT-BE19000 also includes a Gaming Network setting tailored for next-gen experiences. The Gaming Network combines all gaming features into a single SSID, allowing gamers to get the best possible experience without needing to configure each device individually.
Users of the GT-BE19000 can also take advantage of Triple-Level Game Acceleration, a concept pioneered by ROG that prioritizes a game’s data packets, enhancing experiences from the gaming device to the router to the game server.
iMesh made smarter with WiFi 7 and AI
ASUS is also announcing Multi-Link Operation support for its next-gen Smart AiMesh feature included in routers like the ASUS ROG Rapture GT-BE19000. Smart AiMesh provides AI-powered wireless backhaul and intelligently prioritizes high-demand packets to the faster band, helping to ensure buffer-free gaming and streaming experiences. Meanwhile, the ROG GT-BE19000 10 Gb Ethernet LAN port provides a dedicated wired backhaul option for an always-connected extendable mesh network.
