    BE98 Hardware Ver

    If the non-Pro version (i.e. GT-BE98) is not sold in the US, then it may not go through FCC?

    GT-BE98 WIFI 7

    Not sure. Some people got their non-Pro in 2023 already, the H/W Ver. 2.0 also mentions manufacturing year 2024, so it could be that those manufactured in 2023 have a different H/W Ver.

    GT-BE98 WIFI 7

    Is there any practical difference in hardware version 2.0 manufactured in 2024 compared to the earlier release? This is the GT-BE98 i.e. the non-pro version.

    BE96u Firmware update error message.

    Yes, happens from time to time. May be due to maintenance or unplanned service disruption on the Asus side. Suggest you try again after several hours or next day, that always worked for me in the past. Alternatively, manually download the firmware from the specific router support website.

    Yup, manual (post corrected). 'Menus' inside the manual.

    GT-BE98 WIFI 7

    FYI ... Asus has now made available the full user manual for the BE98 Pro here https://rog.asus.com/networking/rog-rapture-gt-be98-pro/helpdesk_manual/. Not available yet for the BE98 but should be very similar apart from the number of 6Ghz bands.

    What Routers support AiProtection Pro?

    You can check the 'Tech Specs' tabs on the respective router product pages. A sample check reveals mentioning of "AiProtection Pro" for GT-AX6000, GT-AXE16000 and GT-BE98 Pro, for example. In the router config settings it is simply called 'AiProtection', at least looking at the GT-AXE16000 config.

    Regulatory vs technical considerations WiFi 7 and 6GHz band

    Trying to understand what the regulatory vs technical aspects are to consider when it comes to WiFi 7 and the 6GHz band. As we know the new ASUS WiFi 7 product range will have 'Pro' and 'non-Pro' editions. The 'Pro' edition has 2x6GHz bands and 1x5GHz band whilst the 'non-Pro' edition has 1x6GHz...

    BQ16 Pro Quad Band

    Let's hope for some good news and announcements coming out of CES later this week - fingers crossed.

    BQ16 Pro Quad Band

    Wondering if these are still on the roadmap. It seems any reference to BQ16 has completely disappeared from the ASUS websites.

    Release ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 Firmware version 3.0.04.388_24329 12-18-2023

    Fine here as well - thus far - with six mesh nodes.

    GT-BE98 WIFI 7

    Thank you for the pointer. When looking at the latest online specs, the bands are different (which is probably the reason the theoretical Gbps are different). The Pro has 2 x 6GHz bands whilst the non-Pro has 1 x 6GHz band. Vice versa for the 5Ghz band(s).
