Asus presents ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000, Wi-Fi 6E routers arrive
Source: HW Upgrade added 19th Jan 2021
The routers that adhere to the WiFi standard 6E can also take advantage of the 6 GHz band, as well as the 5 and 2.4 GHz ones. This allows you to have up to 7 extra channels from 160 MHz and greatly expanded device functions.

ASUS ROG
Asus announced ROG Rapture GT-AX 11000 , a router based on the recent standard Wi- Fi 6E (802. 11 ax) . Wi-Fi 6E technology, which ensures full support for all existing wireless devices, takes full advantage of the radio spectrum in the frequency of 6 GHz , ensuring a large increase in bandwidth and adding up to seven frequency bands from 160 MHz to the two already made available by Wi-Fi 6.
Among the other advantages of the Wi-Fi 6E standard is the fact that the 6 GHz band operates without the Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) function , so that devices can connect instantly without running into the delays imposed by DFS. In the standard 5 GHz frequency in Wi-Fi 6, the channels at 160 MHz must necessarily operate using DFS, which can slow down the process of connecting or reconnecting to the wireless network.
Among the features of the new high-end router from Asus we find a combined Wi-Fi speed up to 11 Gbps and 2 Gbps WAN and WAN aggregation / 2.5 Gbps LAN for 4K / 8K broadband streaming in densely populated networks. Regarding the Wi-Fi bandwidth, the router provides 1148 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band, 4804 Mbps on the 5 GHz band and 4804 Mbps on the 6 GHz band. GT-AXE 11000 also has the WAN aggregation function to reach Internet connection speed up to 2 Gbps .
Asus ROG Rapture GT-AX 11000 is also equipped with a quad-core CPU a 64 bit from 1.8 GHz assisted by 1 GB of RAM to allow parallel processing when handling data generated by multiple high performance devices. To reduce power loss and maximize coverage, Asus ROG engineers have minimized the distance between the motherboard connectors and the antennas. The new antenna design optimizes the signal strength that spreads in every direction and each of the eight antennas is well isolated from the neighboring ones, with particular attention to the four antennas dedicated to the 6 GHz frequency.
We also find advanced software features which include Triple-Level Game Acceleration, VPN Fusion, ASUS AiMesh and ASUS AiProtection Pro for network control while gaming. The new Asus ROG router includes a dedicated Gaming Port that gives a high priority to any device wired to it connected, ensuring that data transferred over this connection always takes precedence – this lowers ping values and reduces game latency.
Game Boost is an adaptive QoS that allows players to prioritize packets in transit that relate to games within the network. GT-AX 11000 also includes a free trial of 90 days of Outfox to ensure a faster and more stable connection to the game server. GT-AX 11000 also supports ASUS AiMesh, which allows gamers to create their own mesh Wi-Fi system inside the house so you can connect with other AiMesh compatible routers, all with seamless roaming, synchronized functions and centralized control.
GT-AX 11000 finally includes the free AiProtection Pro service for life, a solution for networking protected by layers professional security backed by Trend Micro and that protects all devices on the network. Periodic automatic updates are made available on a regular basis to ensure that the network is always up to date.
benefits of Wi-Fi 6
The combination of technologies OFDMA and MU-MIMO of Wi-Fi 6 improves network efficiency and capacity up to four times compared to WiFi 5 (802. 11 ac), plus higher efficiency in multi-device environments. Wi-Fi 6 also has the function called “Target Wait Time “ with program the data transmissions in order to allow particular types of devices, such as IoT sensors, to remain in standby for longer periods and, consequently, reduce the energy consumption of the device itself, with the result of obtaining a significantly improved battery life.
More details on the new Asus ROG Rapture GT-AX 11000 can be found on the official Asus website.
