WiFi 7 is FINALLY HERE: ROG Rapture GT-BE98! 

12:33 Just turning on port forwarding without some knowledge of what it does, and without a reason is a terrible idea, and can open up a big attack vector for your network.

"Yes mom! I really need this for my zoom class. Please buy it for me or I'll fail at school"

Why is he lying 700mbps there is no internet package that does only that in the UK. So he probably is on 1 gig which is advertised in majority internet company as 900 mbps

lol gets Wifi 7 router, only test Wifi 6e features. Why bother with a video

I own the router my self , combined 4 connetions to 1. had 8gbps in with 1x1gbps plus 3x2.5 5g connections.. pretty awesome next step is to capilise and go beond 2x10gbps for netspeed in sweden

Would like to see you use fibre optic on some of your setup ( patch cables, between switches, long runs ) seems not to exspensive, kit for terminating relatively cheap from Amazon. Obviously cant be used with POE, but would be a good comparison 👍

It was cheaper for me to upgrade my internet speed to 1.5 gig rather then leave it at 1 gig. But my network was set for 1 gig max. Now I have fully upgraded every last part of my network besides the roughter. I'm pretty much stuck with this one now.. Because of the future proofing. I'll be fully setup for 10g after I buy this.

I live in Western Maine and for years it was a pipe dream to get anything faster than 14600 baud however fast forward to 2013 we got 256 /256 Kbps DSL, massive difference although pricey at almost 150 per month. Now I'm at 2.5Gbps at $75 per month. crazy...

Alex, My ASUS ROG Rapture GT- AXE11000. Would go in the bedroom and the newest version of this router would go in the living room. Would it be best to drill a hole in the wall and run a cable connecting the two in regards to Meshing ?

Why is the speed equals to Jio 5G network ?

it can be wall mount?

Does it have enough antennas???? I think the big cost item on that router is the inbuilt 10G switch and 10G wan. That seems to have majorly increased the price

Wow, impressive. But doesnt your ISP reduce your speed?

No vertical test , what about the floors above,lol that's how they make you fool.

Still waiting on Microsoft and Intel to put the Wi-Fi7 standard out, until such time the Router works maximum as an Wi-Fi6E router as its 160Mhz only at max bandwidth versus Wi-Fi7 320 mhz. I love the Router, its massive and currently have it in Mesh with one of my older 'Spiders' RT-AX89X. Thus far not much difference with my ASUS AXE16000 router, speed wise and yes I do have Wi-Fi7 clients, laptop & Desktop with Intel BE200 cards. Nice video, keep it up and looking forward to your later test once WiFi7 standard is fully supported. 😇😇

Waiting for you to get a racing sim one day :D would be so keen to see that series!

Waiting the wifi7 cards.. with linux's driver trouble

can be wall mount?

5:32 It is redundant to clarify why Wi-Fi 6E is only in the 6 GHz band.

Fellas always pushing the duffest gear

I directed funds instead intro hiring an electrician to install numerous CAT8 cables throughout my home. Next I purchased multiple 10GB switches to support all those connections and 2 ASUS WIFI 6E AXE16000 setup as Mesh with 10GB backhaul. Final touches is purchasing multiple PoE switches to power multiple security cameras and a Synology NAS to record 24hrs/day. My PC is happy getting full 3.0 Gb/sec upload and download which is the max speed available in my area. My Asus router can handle all this and the Wifi is basically just there to give my tablet and phone access to RU-vid or Netflix. Otherwise a direct wired connection to me is preferred. I spent so much money on so many different routers over the years and nothing beats a solid wired connection.

It's not about speed the important thing is to get a lower ping !! I'm not into gaming I need the lowest possible ping which helps me fast trade the stock market !! Cable is my only way to go for now

was the camera flash/click transition on sale or something? jesus christ.

Titling the video WiFi 7 but only testing WiFi 6e? And i know their internet speed is less than a gig, but WiFi 6e is faster than that. I get 1.5 Gbps from my ISP's free WiFi gateway on just WiFi 6e. A better test would have been to spin up a local iPerf server and connect up via 2.5Gb or 10Gb to remove the ISP bottlebeck.

Honest thoughts 😂😂😂😂 bruuuu really 😂😂😂

That would benefit me with 3Gb/s down 3Gb/s upload 1ms ping but the price is too steep so going with the Xiaomi AX10000 I've had a Asus router before the AXE16000 good routers for wifi but their QoS feature sucks would be better to use Asus Merlin if you know what your doing. plus the Xiaomi AX10000 is built on OpenWRT which is great for QoS Feature least it works.

is an access point the same as a mesh system?

5:20 Combined 5GHz different channel and 5Ghz-2 (Also in different channel range) along with 6Ghz ..With smart connect to combine network in one ..then use WiFi7 with MLO.. I WAAANA SEE!

imagine having that huge thing just sitting in your house, dang that thing is massive!!!

Holy shit, that a big chungus router

@Techflow you able to get mlo connection?

One comment on the separate SSIDs for the different band networks - I prefer the same. If you have an apple device though and you whish it connects to the 6GHz band, you won't be able to find it. Apple devices, which support Wifi 6E require smart network to be setup (Same SSID for the three bands). So, bad apple, I won't comply and I will have my 3 separate band SSIDs and you go work on your 5Ghz band :D Also, go buy an intel BE200 M.2 wifi adapter, and test the WiFi7 itself! :)

What a vid, testing wifi 6E on a wifi 6E phone with only 700mbps in 😂 let me know when you do some real testing on a wifi 7 device and have multi gig internet coming in. This video did nothing for me

Dude ASUS charging that much and still using the same basic boring features of the GT AX11000 I have already lmaooo. ASUS needs to step their game up.

What about 5Ghz on the Asus, which is how most people will use it

What’s a rooter?

Love the vid but damn that router takes some surface area. Its nearly the same size as that laptop.

He gets 700mbps into his house and the router magically gave him 900mbps. No, you get 900mbps into your house, and its guaranteed at 700mbps.

try downloading warzone and show us the speed

Thanks guys.

When will this router be WiFi 7 certified? Despite its impressive features and performance it is expensive. We should know it truly is future proof for WiFi 7.

this router came out with too many bugs. My 5ghz devices wouldn't work unless the 160hz is turned off. Kept dropping wireless connections, then it died, red link light now stays on. I put my Rapture GT-AX 11000 back, and now it is working fine. I won't buy Asus routers until they fix these problems. My old router works fine with 160hz on and I'm not losing connections. I sent it back for a refund. all this happened in just 2 weeks

why do you have those flash transitions? its really bad...

not really, many games gives you additional latency to balance it.

You want those antennas for directional beaming and it's a router not a rooter.

What a waste of time and money.

But why no sfp+ wan? what a shame...

Absolutely massive and ghastly looking. I just couldn’t do it because of that and went with the Netgear Nighthawk R700S

Combi device? You mean just a literal wireless router?

HP NEXT, WHEN?? 🙏 Also test in the basement Cellar, would be interesting test..

Aaahhh yes a “roooterr”

No sfp+ port disappointed

Bro plays games in - ping

This router would help lower my pin in Warzone

is it as sh!t as the AX series which constantly drops wifi connections, better getting ubiquiti u7 pro and edge router x for half the price

Tplink one mesh 😊

*Promo SM* 🙋

Prepare yourself for the built-in switch to fail just after warranty runs out.

damn 700mbps that's it? lol. here in norcal you can choose 1gbps - 5gbps or 10gbps lol.

With this price i buy whole homelab with hardware firewall makes no sense of this device. Beside if the operating system isnt FOSS am not gonna trust whats happening behind the curtain.

This dude literally lies through this video lol

First

Good Content 🫡

Save yourself £600 and buy an ethernet switch and some cable and wire your house to have your devices wired.

What a hideous looking router. Wife approval factor = 0.

Does it drive u to work and back...does it do ur daily grocery shopping...oh and doesnit pay your bills hmmm...

The fact I can get my full gigabit over WiFi with my eero 6 pro and near wired ping doesn't give me any insensitive to upgrade

8 Mbps = 1 MBps So,you're getting 100MBps 😅

I've seen you post about 4 of these gaming router videos. Just say you have no video ideas lmao

Roooter lol

The camera flash/click sound transition is really annoying man, this makes me unable to watch the video comfortably

And still built on the 4.19 kernel. Yeah nah pass

No

It's way too expensive for what it is. It's a ROUTER... providing Wi-Fi for your home. So nothing justifies the price. And at that price it's definitely not for everyone. Been using ASUS all my life, but now it's time to change. Good hardware, way overpriced.

it's router not rooter.

the pausing slow and annoying kid is back with another roooter.

Separate SSID for each frequency band?? Worst advice ever!! Come on man… at least take advice from a qualified network engineer before making these “recommendations”
