ASUS has officially launched the ROG Rapture GT-BN98 Pro, positioning it as the world's first gaming router built for Wi-Fi 8. The device secured a Best Choice Award at COMPUTEX Taipei earlier this year, signaling strong industry interest in its new wireless architecture.
The new router features dual 10GbE ports and claims a 34 percent latency drop via AI acceleration
The router targets high-performance gaming networks by integrating advanced connectivity features designed to handle dense device environments. ASUS emphasizes that the platform improves both mid-to-long distance throughput and IoT coverage compared to previous models.
Key hardware specifications include two 10GbE RJ45 ports supporting link aggregation, four 2.5GbE RJ45 ports, and a single 1GbE port for legacy connections. The device also provides one USB 5Gbps interface and one USB 480Mbps port for peripheral attachment.
ASUS claims the router's AI game acceleration feature reduces latency by 34 percent through multi-access point coordination. The company states that IoT connectivity coverage and throughput can reach up to twice that of the previous generation, though specific Wi-Fi 8 technical details remain unconfirmed by the manufacturer.
No pricing or availability information has been released for the ROG Rapture GT-BN98 Pro at this time. Buyers can follow ASUS's official communications for information regarding availability in different regions and purchasing details.
