Asus GT-AX11000 ROG Rapture

However, if you are in the market for a new router and plan on going with a performance model, then by all means, hop into Wi-Fi 6 territory. Since they are now available, it makes far more sense to spend several hundred dollars on a Wi-Fi 6 router than it does to buy a Wi-Fi 5 model, if that is the pricing tier you are looking at regardless. Maybe it will last until your devices catch up, maybe not. Either way, the first couple of Wi-Fi 6 routers we have tested are exceptionally fast and full-featured, none more so than this one.

If you're a hardcore gamer, the massive Asus GT-AX11000 is the router of your dream. Turn up your game to 11 with this beast.

Gamers with a need for speed will have numerous reasons to fall in love with the ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX11000. Keep it dedicated to your gaming needs and your worries about lagging will be remnants of the past.

The ROG is a capable router with next-gen wireless, but we’re not blown away by the gaming features.

Crap, I would never ever recommend a router that costs over 400 bucks, but I really do like this one. The ASUS GT-AX11000 Rapture ticks most of the right boxes, the performance is good and even excellent on 5G, and you are AX ready which could justify the increased price tag to be a bit more future proof. The obvious downside right now is that there are no AX clients available but, as stated, you'll be ready for it and, trust me when I say this, AX or WIFI 6 is coming sooner rather than later.

The Asus GT-AX11000 already impressed with its over-the-top hardware and an incredible set of features. That alone should be the reason that you'd choose this router above the others, even if the price is a little hard to swallow.

We live in a world with gaming traffic trumps all on a home network. It’s thus no surprise that Asus has launched a ROG branded Wi-Fi router that is designed to look after the gaming traffic on your network. The Asus ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 puts you in control of every aspect of your network thanks to the beautifully designed the ROG Game dashboard.

The Rapture is definitely one of the more expensive routers that you can get, but the price tag is reflective of the amount of quality that it offers. If you have the extra money to spend on a really high-grade gaming router, the ROG Rapture is definitely one that you should consider.
