ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) announced the Rapture GT-AX6000, a high-performance WiFi 6 (802. 11ax) gaming router that stands out with its brand new design. Bringing the design of the future into the present, the ROG Rapture GT-AX6000 gaming router enables gamers to connect to more devices and takes the gaming experience to the next level. Powered by the 2.0 GHz 64-bit quad-core Broadcom® CPU and the new generation top-of-the-line Broadcom WiFi 6 chipset, the model is always ready for the biggest challenges with its ASUS RangeBoost Plus feature, offering speeds up to 6000 Mbps in a wide coverage area. Fully customizable ASUS Aura RGB lighting effects also make the GT-AX6000 a stunning router.
Designed to operate at high speed to offer more bandwidth to devices, GT-AX6000 has two 2.5 Gbps Ethernet ports. The router also takes advantage of WAN and LAN aggregation.
Extremely efficient WiFi 6
ROG Rapture GT-AX6000 is a powerful 4×4 dual-band WiFi 6 router that can deliver up to 6000Mbps total speed. The product, which can reach 1148 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band and 4804 Mbps in the 5 GHz band, is up to 2.3 times faster than dual band 4×4 WiFi 5 routers. Utilizing 160 MHz channels, OFDMA and MU-MIMO technologies, WiFi 6 offers 4 times wider network capacity in crowded environments. Thus, it offers an ideal solution for dense networks.
Flexible network port configuration
For flexibility in high-speed internet and network connections, ROG Rapture GT-AX6000 has two 2.5Gbps ports. One of them can be set as WAN or LAN port. This allows gamers to offer very high bandwidth to connected devices or take advantage of ultra-fast internet connections.
With the WAN aggregation feature, it is possible to obtain 3.5 Gbps WAN bandwidth by combining the 2.5 Gbps port with the 1 Gbps port. This is enough speed for even the newest ultra-fast internet service providers. This incredible internet bandwidth can be shared over Wi-Fi 6 or the 2.5 Gbps port in LAN mode.
With the LAN aggregation feature, users can combine 1 Gbps LAN ports to establish a 2 Gbps LAN connection. This provides extra bandwidth for heavy-duty networking devices such as compatible NAS devices or desktop computers.
Superior performance
ROG Rapture GT-AX6000 is powered by Broadcom 2.0Ghz quad-core 64-bit processor and WiFi chipset. The performance achieved with these is sufficient for even the most demanding gaming networks. The model, which works at lightning speed by increasing the maximum network performance by 18%[1], accelerates data transfer and optimizes the gaming experience. GT-AX6000 also benefits from ASUS RangeBoost Plus technology. This most powerful version of RangeBoost increases coverage for all WiFi devices, including older ones. Along with ASUS RF technology and other ASUS-exclusive technologies, RangeBoost Plus increases WiFi signal range and coverage by up to 38%. [2nd]
ASUS AiMesh technology allows users to set up a true mesh WiFi system that covers every corner of their home. Using any ASUS AiMesh compatible router model as a network node, it is possible to expand network coverage, eliminate dead spots, and experience ultra-fast and reliable WiFi throughout the home.
Don’t stop the game
ROG Rapture GT-AX6000 appeals to all types of gamers, whether mobile, console or PC. It accelerates the game traffic at every stage from the computer to the game server. Exclusive three-layer gaming acceleration technology prevents dropouts, stabilizing the connection, reducing latency and ping time, and boosting speed for incredible gaming.
GT-AX6000 also works perfectly with game consoles such as PS5®, Xbox X® and Nintendo Switch®. Gamers can instantly prioritize consoles they connect via the dedicated Game Port, with no complicated configuration required. To do this, simply connect the console to the dedicated LAN-1 port. Then a fast and stable connection is obtained, which always has priority.
With the ASUS Router app, gamers can also prioritize their mobile phones by activating Mobile Game Mode. They can experience better online gaming with lower ping times and less latency.
