ASUS ROG Rapture GT-BE98 wireless router 10 Gigabit Ethernet Quad-band 2.4 GHz / 90IG08F0-MO9A0V

ROG Rapture GT-BE98
GAME BEYOND SPEEDS
The Rapture series continues to push the boundaries of what is possible for gaming and networking. The ROG Rapture GT-BE98 is a quad-band WiFi 7 gaming router tailored for next-gen computing, with speeds of up to 25 Gbps and dual 10Gbps ports.

Leap Forward with WiFi 7
WiFi 7 (IEEE 802.11be) packs all the benefits of WiFi 6/6E and expands several existing WiFi standards to a whole new level, such as 320 MHz bandwidth and 4K-QAM. And it introduces some revolutionary features like Multi-Link Operation. These combined technologies provide beyond fast speeds, extremely low latency and enhanced reliability. You can enjoy unparalleled network experiences in any online battlefield.

The Next-gen Powerhouse
The ROG Rapture GT-BE98 is is powered by a powerful quad-core 2.6 GHz CPU and WiFi chipset, giving it the performance to handle even the most demanding scenarios, such as 10 Gbps WiFi connections, next-gen cloud-based computing, cloud gaming and cloud AI.

Eliminate WiFi Dead Zones
The ROG Rapture GT-BE98 is equipped with eight sturdy external antennas and sixteen powerful internal dipole antenna elements, while each radio frequency chain has an independent high-power amplifier. Four antennas feature a dual-feed design using copper tubes that provide high efficiency and significantly enhanced signal strength. This optimized antenna array ensures better signal isolation for simultaneous transmission and reception at different frequencies in adjacent bands.

Look Cool, Game Cool
Heat can kill performance. The ROG Rapture GT-BE98 features an aluminum plate on the top that is 30% thicker*, an abrasive-blasted nanocarbon layer and a two-centimeter stand. Coupled with a specially designed vent and heat spreader, this router improves airflow with 18% better heat dissipation.

Triple-level Game Acceleration
Say goodbye to high ping. The GT-BE98 boosts your PC gaming traffic every step of the way, from your PC gaming port all the way to the game server.

Mobile Game Mode
Prioritize the network traffic of your favorite mobile game, minimizing lag and latency with just a tap on the ASUS Router mobile app.

Easy Game Console Port Forwarding
Using OpenNAT on GT-BE98 couldn-t be easier. Enjoy faster connection speed, shorter lobby wait times and smoother gameplay with legacy game consoles or popular gaming handhelds.

AiProtection Pro
Ever-evolving online threats such as malicious website phishing, webcam hacking or ransomware can result in a loss of privacy and finances. The ROG Rapture GT-BE98 includes commercial-grade AiProtection Pro powered by Trend Micro - to shield your network from cyber threats.

Modulation

Modulation is the process of varying one or more properties of a periodic waveform, called the carrier signal (High Frequency Signal), with a modulating signal which typically contains information to be transmitted. The aim of digital modulation is to transfer a digital bit stream over an analog bandpass channel, for example over the public switched telephone network (where a bandpass filter limits the frequency range to between 300 and 3400 Hz), or over a limited radio frequency band. The aim of analog modulation is to transfer an analog baseband (or lowpass) signal, for example an audio signal or TV signal, over an analog bandpass channel at a different frequency, for example over a limited radio frequency band or a cable TV network channel.

MAC address filtering

Security access control method whereby the 48-bit address assigned to each network card is used to determine access to the network. MAC addresses are uniquely assigned to each card, so using MAC filtering on a network permits and denies network access to specific devices through the use of blacklists and whitelists.

Protocols


DHCP server

A server is a system which that responds to requests across a computer network to provide, or help to provide, a network service. DCHP servers uses the DCHP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), which is a standardized networking protocol used by servers on an IP network to allocate IP addresses to computers. The purpose of DHCP is to automate the IP address configuration of a computer without a network administrator. IP addresses are typically selected from a range of assigned IP addresses stored in a database on the server and issued to a computer which requests a new IP address. An IP address is assigned to a computer for a set interval, after which, the computer must renew the IP address or acquire a new one.
