Manufacturer description

The ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 is billed as the world's first quad-band WiFi 6E gaming router. It splits traffic across 2.4 GHz, two 5 GHz bands and the 6 GHz band for combined speeds of up to 16000 Mbps. If your home has consoles, gaming PCs and streaming devices all sharing the same wireless airtime, the extra band gives lag-sensitive traffic more room. This gaming router also stands out on wired ports. Two 10 Gbps WAN/LAN ports let you connect multi-gig internet, a NAS or a desktop with a 10G network card. A separate 2.5 Gbps WAN port handles faster broadband plans. ASUS RangeBoost Plus…

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 a WiFi 7 router?

No. It is a WiFi 6E (802.11ax) router. It is quad-band, with one 2.4 GHz band, two 5 GHz bands and one 6 GHz band, and is rated for up to 16000 Mbps combined.

Will all my devices be able to use the 6 GHz band?

Only devices that support WiFi 6E can connect on 6 GHz. Older devices still connect on the 2.4 GHz and two 5 GHz bands, so they keep working. They just don't get the wider channels and lower interference that 6 GHz offers.

What can I do with the dual 10G ports?

The router has two 10 Gbps ports, and each can be set as WAN or LAN. You can use them for a multi-gig internet connection, a NAS or a desktop with a 10G network card. A separate 2.5 Gbps WAN port handles faster broadband plans, so both 10G ports can stay free for local devices.

Can I extend coverage to other rooms or floors?

Yes. The GT-AXE16000 supports ASUS AiMesh, so you can pair it with compatible ASUS routers to build a mesh network. ASUS RangeBoost Plus also improves signal range. ASUS notes that real-world coverage depends on building materials and interference.

What are the router's power requirements?

The power supply takes 110-240V AC at 50-60 Hz. It outputs 19V DC at up to 3.42A, or 19.5V DC at up to 3.33A. Check the product listing for the exact adapter included and the current warranty terms.
