i bought it not using mesh but got the 16k also as ou. linked 4 connections to 1. 3 x 5g at max 7.5gbps plus fibre 1gbps bidirectional... getting 8-9gbps in and out with 4 stable connections after the be98 upgrade via lan cable
Created a mesh with two of them… have to say the plastic is a bit much (I am not joking, it took more time to unbox and get the plastic off than to install it and setup a mesh). Wifi is amazing in my house now though.
Hello, did you have the chance to test it? How do you find its performance? I have a Wifi 5 Modem at home (not even a router) but I'm planning to buy a good router for Future Proof. I could go with a 6E router but since I've just built a new PC which has Z790 motherboard with Wifi 7 feature and since it's connected to the home network via Wifi, I thought a Wifi7 router would be great. Though it's very expensive but I'm ready to make this payment. I just want to know if you're satisfied with the performance. Thanks.
Yes, I`ve reviewed it but it is in Croatian (www.pcekspert.com/clanak/asus-rog-rapture-gt-be98-recenzija/) You should maybe wait a few months, there will be plenty of WiFi 7 models, and cheaper from Asus and other vendors.
Wow thank you. I could translate it to english and read it all. Very informative. I already placed an order for this :) It's going to arrive in 3 weeks. I can't wait to get it. Does this router have a free VPN option? OR do we have to buy a subsription from a 3rd party? What is the instant guard for? And one last question. I think I may not need VPN because I just ordered a DPN machine from deeper network which I'll connect between the modem and the router in order to have a lifetime DPN (VPN) option. But I still wanted to know if it offers any free VPN inside. Thank you.@@PCEkspertTV
Wondering the exact same, I just recently purchased the axe 16000 which is out for delivery today. Now wondering should I return it in replace for this upcoming one.
Rumor is the non-pro version will not be coming to the US? Only the Pro version in USA...time will tell!
I really wish this comes in dec. Cause i want to mesh it with my gt16000 asus router. I want to see how is that 6band backhaul wireless

Dude ive been looking for this for months now. I can find the BE96U but not this one.
Should come very soon to market.
Looks great, I want to buy one too. May I ask where the blogger bought it?
Got it for testing from Asus.

Holy cow. That thing is half the size of a PC. Have no space for that beast...
If you point those antennas in certain direction, will that direction get better signal range?
That's the theory, if you point the antenna at the direction of the device you may get slightly better signal
Getting one tomorrow :)
where to buy
What category ethernet cable did it come with?
Cat 6
