ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 Wi-Fi 6E Router
Asus’ newest router is the ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000, and it says it’s the “world’s first quad-band Wi-Fi 6E gaming router.” Given how rare quad-band 6E routers still are, the Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 is maybe unsurprisingly on the expensive side and is set to cost $649. But compared to Netgear’s quad-band Orbi system, which costs the better part of $1,500 for a three-pack of the mesh routers, Asus’ router looks almost affordable.
