ROG Rapture GT-AX11000: World’s first 10 Gbps gaming router launches

Asus has launched what it claims is the world’s first 10Gbps gaming router, the ROG Rapture GT-AX11000, alongside a new mesh network system and wealth of new computing components.
 
According to Asus, the catchily-named ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 is the world’s first tri-band 802.11ax router. It’ll apparently offer users insanely fast data speeds of up to 1148Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and up to 4804Mbps on each of its dual 5GHz bands.
 
If true that’ll make the router one of the fastest Trusted Reviews has ever tested – though we’re taking these numbers with a pinch of salt until we get it in our lab.
 
The router will also feature a few gamer-specific features. One of the most interesting of these is its custom Game Boost mode. This instructs the router to intelligently prioritise gaming traffic ahead of other processes, kind of like Killer LAN.
 
It’ll also stop high-bandwidth traffic hogs, such as downloads, from operating while active. The mode can be turned on using a physical button on the router, or in the GUI or app interface. The tech will reportedly help eliminate network lag and latency, creating a smoother online gaming experience.
 
For those that prefer a cabled connection, the router will also have a 2.5Gbps Ethernet port just for gaming. The router will also automatically reserve extra 5GHz bandwidth whatever you do.
