Four gigabit LAN ports round out the ethernet options. Meanwhile, a 2.5 Gbps WAN port gives you plenty of headroom for your ISP connection to grow into. They won’t necessarily do anything to improve in-game performance, but would absolutely speed up your intra-network connections wherever properly-equipped devices are connected, making for super-fast file transfers. One of the Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000’s other big updates can be found in the dual 10Gbps RJ45 ethernet LAN ports. The antennas also appear to be quite a bit chunkier, and in addition to the eight externals, there will also be four internal antennas.
We’re told this will incorporate RGB lights like that previous model, but it looks like it’ll be edge-lit, rather than shining from beneath the logo as before. Physically, it’s obviously very similar to the original GT-AXE11000-still a very industrial, chunky squareish thing-but with a clear panel over the ROG eye logo that makes it look a tad more refined. It’s likely, given Asus’s track record, that all three bands will be capable of 160MHz bandwidth, so potential wireless throughput should be extremely fast. Altogether, that makes for 16Gbps of total theoretical combined throughput (speed you will never see in practical use, but which is still indicative of a very fast router). This new router is similar to last year’s Rapture GT-AXE11000 in most ways: It will offer up to 4.8Gbps throughput on each of the 5GHz and 6GHz bands, and 1,148Mbps on its 2.4GHz band, but now adds a second 4.8Gbps 5GHz band, removing the need to choose between keeping the second 5GHz band or trading it in for a 6GHz band that the vast majority of the devices on their network likely don’t even use yet. The most significant of the two is the Wi-Fi 6E quad-band Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000. These eye-catching pieces of kit feature extremely aggressive “gamer”-esque stylings-and they should be just as fast as they look. Asus continues to refine its powerful ROG Rapture routers with the announcement of not one, but two new products at CES 2022.
