ROG Rapture GT-BN98 Quad-Band Wi-Fi 8 Router from ASUS

ROG Rapture GT-BN98 Router.

The Future of Gaming Connectivity The ROG Rapture GT-BN98 is a next-generation quad-band WiFi 8 gaming router engineered for high-performance, reliable connectivity. Delivering up to 25 Gbps of combined throughput, it combines advanced WiFi 8 technologies, intelligent network optimisation and three-level game acceleration to help reduce latency and maintain smooth gameplay. With Adaptive QoE, real-time WiFi Insight, dual 10G ports, four 2.5G ports, enhanced security and flexible network management, the GT-BN98 is built to handle demanding gaming, streaming, smart-home and multi-device environments with speed, stability and control.

World's First WiFi 8 Gaming Router

Smarter Spectrum in Crowds Multi-Device Boost

Sustained Speed at Mid-to-Long Range As you move away from a router, signals typically fade and speeds drop—especially where walls, upper floors, patios or garages are involved. WiFi 8 reduces sudden slowdowns at mid-to-long range, improving the throughput falloff rate and keeping connections more stable across your whole home.

Connectivity for Low-Powered Devices Most IoT devices transmit at lower power than routers, which can result in weak return signals and frequent disconnections. WiFi 8 strengthens two-way communication, enabling low-power devices to maintain stable links.

Coexistence with Other Networks In densely populated environments, signals from multiple routers may overlap, causing interference. WiFi 8 introduces smarter spectrum coordination and interference mitigation, keeping speeds stable.

Enhanced Multi-User Capacity When multiple devices connect simultaneously, traditional WiFi often experiences congestion. WiFi 8 enhances spectrum efficiency, dynamic scheduling, throughput, and latency to ensure that bandwidth is used effectively.

3-Level Game Acceleration, Optimised at Every Step

AI Game Boost From device detection to traffic prioritisation and intelligent routing, GT-BN98 optimises your connection end-to-end, helping reduce latency and maintain smooth, stable gameplay across real-world network conditions.

Engineered for Performance and Stability

Performance ROG Rapture GT-BN98 boosts game packets every step of the way, from gaming devices all the way to the game server.

Reduce Dead Zones Strong WiFi coverage is achieved through optimised antennas and refined RF tuning, helping to ensure stable connections across your entire location.

Dual 10G Ports Dual 10G ports empower your network to be ready for next-gen entertainment or home studios. It also unlocks an ultra-high-speed 10 Gbps ethernet backhaul for a robust wired network.

Up to Four 2.5G LAN Ports One 2.5G WAN/LAN port and three 2.5G LAN ports provide high speeds for entertainment, home studios and ultrafast Ethernet backhaul.

Dedicated 10G Gaming Port The GT-BN98 uses the 10G LAN port as a dedicated gaming port that can prioritise gaming traffic from connected devices without any configuration.

Multi-WAN with Auto Detection Multi-WAN input support includes a 10G WAN/LAN port and a 2.5G WAN/LAN port for flexible configurations. Hassle-free auto WAN detection streamlines setup.

Powerful VLAN Controls Simplify home network management by organising devices into logical groups using VLANs, making it easier to apply specific security rules and manage access.

Up to 20G Link Aggregation Combine two Ethernet links into one single logical link, unleashing the monster local network with up to 20 Gbps bandwidth.
