Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 Quad-Band WiFi 6E Gaming Router

The world's first quad-band WiFi 6E gaming router

The trailblazing ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 is the world's very first quad-band WiFi 6E gaming router, delivering incredible speeds of up to 16000 Mbps. We've unlocked the full potential of the four frequency bands — 2.4 GHz, two 5 GHz* bands, and 6 GHz — with 160 MHz channels in the 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands to bring you the fastest speeds possible.

Experience ultimate connectivity

With four frequency bands available, you can dedicate each band to different devices for faster and smoother WiFi connections. It also gives you even more flexible options for connecting ASUS AiMesh-compatible routers as mesh nodes if you want to create a whole-home mesh system.

WiFi 6E - 6 GHz band

WiFi 6E gives you up to seven* additional high-speed 160 MHz channels, for multi-gigabit speeds with stable and consistent connections. It dramatically increases network capacity while reducing bandwidth congestion, delivering higher performance for every WiFi 6E device.

Flexible network port configuration

ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 has two dual-function 10 Gbps WAN/LAN ports, four 1 Gbps LAN ports, and a 2.5 Gbps WAN port. This flexibility gives you the ability to deliver massive bandwidth to your wired devices, and take advantage of ultra-high-speed internet connections in any scenarios.

Built for the ultimate speed

ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 is powered by the latest 2.0 GHz quad-core 64-bit CPU and WiFi chipsets, giving it the performance to handle even the most demanding gaming networks. Maximum network throughput is increased by up to 18%* for lightning-fast responsiveness, accelerated data transfers and an optimized gaming experience.

Built for the ultimate coverage

ASUS RangeBoost Plus is the latest, most powerful version of our renowned RangeBoost technology, which can improve coverage and WiFi performance significantly compared to other models without RangeBoost. By using next-gen flagship Broadcom WiFi chipsets with the exclusive ASUS RF technology, RangeBoost Plus leverages multiple upgraded ASUS features that improve WiFi signal range and overall coverage by up to 38%*.

To infinity and beyond

For the ultimate style, ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 has an infinity mirror on the top of the case that adds a unique touch to the multiple Aura RGB lighting effects. GT-AXE16000 shows your true style while gaming!

Triple-level game acceleration

GT-AXE16000 boosts your gaming traffic every step of the way, from your PC all the way to the game server. The exclusive triple-level game acceleration stabilizes your connections to prevent jitter, reduce lag, lower ping and increase speed for amazing gaming experiences.

Game without boundaries

VPN Fusion lets you run both a VPN and an ordinary internet connection — simultaneously! So even if other network users need to use a VPN, you can still enjoy maximum gaming speeds.

Complete security for everyone and everything

For total peace of mind, GT-AXE16000 includes ASUS AiProtection Pro, including the latest WPA3 security protocol and advanced Parental Controls. The automatic, regularly updated security signatures help protect all your devices and personal data from internet threats.

Make free WiFi secure, wherever you are

The free public WiFi you find in coffee shops, restaurants, hotels, airports and so on is rarely secure. ASUS Instant Guard uses VPN technology to create a secure data tunnel to your GT-AXE16000, adding rock-solid security to any public WiFi connections you use.
