ASUS Singapore Introduces Advanced WiFi 7 Routers: ROG Rapture And ZenWiFi Series

ASUS Singapore recently unveiled its latest series of quad-band WiFi 7 routers, including the highly anticipated gaming router ROG Rapture GT-BE98, alongside the ZenWiFi BQ16 and ZenWiFi BQ16 Pro mesh routers. This new lineup is designed to redefine performance standards and introduce a new level of style in the technology sector.

The ROG Rapture GT-BE98 stands out as a pinnacle of gaming routers, offering beyond-fast WiFi 7 (802.11be) capabilities. It features new 320MHz channels in the 6 GHz band and employs 4096-QAM to drastically improve network capacity and throughput. Gamers can expect speeds of up to 25 Gbps, ensuring an ultra-smooth online gaming experience. The Multi-link Operation further enhances this by linking to multiple bands simultaneously for stable internet connections and efficient data transfers.

The ZenWiFi BQ16 and ZenWiFi BQ16 Pro mesh routers have been recognized for their exceptional performance, winning the PC Magazine 2023 Readers' Choice Award. ASUS was praised for leading in overall satisfaction and recommendation likelihood, scoring exceptionally high for mesh coverage, WiFi speed, and network management. These routers are powered by quad-band AiMesh technology, fully unlocking the potential of WiFi 7 across all bands. The ZenWiFi BQ16 Pro allows users to dedicate one 6 GHz or 5 GHz band as backhaul, ensuring an AI-enhanced connection with minimal congestion.

Equipped with twelve internal antennas and sixteen high-power front-end modules, these routers effectively eliminate WiFi dead zones. They also feature robust heat dissipation for increased reliability. ASUS offers peace of mind with subscription-free AiProtection Pro powered by Trend Micro™, providing a one-tap security scan and Safe Browsing.

The introduction of Smart Home Master introduces subnetworks tailored for IoT devices, VPNs, and parental control via SSIDs.
