ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000

Die Geschwindigkeit in allen Netzen ist herausragend und lässt keinen Raum für Kritik. Wer sich mit dem Preis anfreunden kann und/oder auf diverse Features angewiesen ist, sollte den Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 in die engere Wahl nehmen.

The ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 shows that early adoption of a new standard, in this case Wi-Fi 6E, is not without its problems. Also, its 6G range will be much more limited once it goes through walls. We appreciate the incredibly fast overall Wi-Fi throughput, the ease of setup, the built-in security, and the versatility of the wired ports. The ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 is a powerful router worth considering if you're willing to invest in advanced networking gear. However, with a price tag of around 679 Euros or 699 USD, it may not be a great value for most people at this time. The router's throughput was among the highest we've seen, but most people should wait until more Wi-Fi 6E devices are available in homes before buying a 6E router. This router may be a good choice if you're familiar with and excited about 6GHz networking, but keep in mind that it works best in close proximity and requires a compatible client operating system and network adapter. In addition, the router includes advanced switching options with 2x 10 Gbps, which is a definite plus.

The Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 is a phenomenal piece of home networking hardware at a prohibitively high cost. Presently, it’s as good as a Wi-Fi router can be, and we likely have to wait till Wi-Fi 7 to have more capable hardware.
