The consensus
What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
The ASUS ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro is the flagship gaming pick in this pool, and the trust-weighted picture is genuinely mixed. Tom's Hardware, a verified source, says it has the performance and features to appeal to hardcore gamers, with plenty of ports and software features, and dongknows calls it a formidable multi-gig Wi-Fi 7 router worthy of its high price. An r/ASUSROG owner called it by far the best router they've ever bought, and the dual 10G ports plus gaming-prioritized port draw praise in r/HomeNetworking for being rare at this tier.
What reviewers liked
- Tom's Hardware (verified) endorses it for hardcore gamers with extensive ports and software
- Quad-band Wi-Fi 7 with dual 10G ports, rare at this tier

Where it falls short
- A prominent r/ASUSROG thread reports slower effective Wi-Fi than a far cheaper TP-Link
- Premium price draws value criticism even from favorable reviews
- Lowest Amazon rating among top picks (4.2) on a small review base

The ASUS ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro is the flagship gaming pick in this pool, and the trust-weighted picture is genuinely mixed. Tom's Hardware, a verified source, says it has the performance and features to appeal to hardcore gamers, with plenty of ports and software features, and dongknows calls it a formidable multi-gig Wi-Fi 7 router worthy of its high price.

But the disagreement is loud and belongs on the table. A separate r/ASUSROG thread titled bluntly that the unit is 'trash,' claiming its effective Wi-Fi speed was actually slower than the much cheaper TP-Link BE550 it replaced. The Amazon rating sits at 4.2 across a modest 546 reviews, lower than several cheaper picks here. The consensus: a feature-rich, quad-band Wi-Fi 7 powerhouse with deep customization for enthusiasts, but a hard sell on value, and individual units or setups have produced real disappointment.
- Beyond-fast WiFi 7 (802.11be) with new 320MHz channels in the 6 GHz band and 4096-QAM significantly increases network capacity and throughput, with speeds of up to 30 Gbps
- Multi-link Operation links to multiple bands at the same time to ensure stable internet connections and efficient data transfers
- Cutting-edge external dual-feeding antennas boost coverage by providing high efficiency and significantly enhanced signal strength
- Maximized wired connectivity and flexibility with dual 10G ports and quad 2.5G ports
- Triple-Level Game Acceleration - The GT-BE98 Pro boosts your PC gaming traffic every step of the way, from your PC gaming port all the way to the game server.

Stable and a great wifi-7 performer. Similar hardware to the GT-BE98 Pro, but only one 6GHz. band. Personally, that's all I need, one 6GHz. band ...
I decided to make the plunge and upgrade my modem and router and this was by far the best one I have ever bought.
