    Wi-Fi 7 Multi Link Operation (MLO) discussion

    This is why I’m excited about Wifi 7. MLO is a big game changer. The stuff coming out of the 802.11BE TG is pretty interesting if you want to get deeper into it. There’s actually no limit on implementation, just client support. You could technically have quad-band support, but most will be tri...

    GT-BE98 WIFI 7

    https://rog.asus.com/networking/rog-rapture-gt-be98-pro/ Lots of information on updated page. Confirmed dual 6GHz bands. References to MLO firmware in late 2023 or later point to a release this year. However Wi-Fi 7 final spec and certification won’t happen until next year. Its not clear that...

    RT-BE96U Tri-Band

    I held off on the AXE-16000 for that very reason. Appreciate you posting your experience.

    RT-BE96U Tri-Band

    Have you or do you plan to do a CPU stress test with multiple 10G ports? I’m curious as I’m planning for the GT-BE98 Pro and it uses the same CPU. Hoping it does better than the AXE16000.

    GT-BE98 WIFI 7

    ASUS finally got their FCC filings approved for the GT-BE98 Pro. Not sure if the vanilla version is still coming. Lots of good technical data in the docs. https://fccid.io/MSQ-RTBE6M00 Looks like there’s a chance we’ll see it before the end of the year.

    GT-BE98 WIFI 7

    This is why competition is a beautiful thing. We get higher speeds for the same or lower price. I’m paying $70 a month for 10G. Many places in urban areas it’s $50-70. The cost for the ISP is nominal. If people can get higher speeds for free or slightly higher marginal cost, they going to get...

    TP-Link WiFi7 Gaming Routers

    I think most of us contemplating Wifi7 are doing it for future proofing and the multiple 10GbE ports. Personally I like the 2.6Ghz processor and extra RAM of the new ASUS models.

    Did ASUS Fixed AXE-16000 10Gb Speed issues?

    The Archer BE900 was available in Europe and the US last week. Asus ROG Rapture GT-BE98 has not received certification from FCC or Industry Canada yet, so it will probably be 2-3 months out. The RT-BE96U was certified end of January and should be available soon, but only has 2x 10Gb ports.

    GT-BE98 WIFI 7

    My point is that people are going to be needing those ports, and if the price difference is nominal, people are going to go for Wifi7. Why buy a GT-AXE16000 when the GT-BE98 is almost the same price and you get more ports? Most people don’t need it, but they’ll get it because the price...

    GT-BE98 WIFI 7

    Don’t know what you mean about the pro models. Do the GT-AX11000 Pro and the GT-AXE16000 not meet your standards? The key point with WiFi 7 routers is that all of them will come with multiple multi-gig ports. The industry is at a key inflection point. Everyone with fiber GPONs is going to get...

    Did ASUS Fixed AXE-16000 10Gb Speed issues?

    How urgently do you need a solution in place? The ROG Rapture GT-BE98 should be out in a few months with 3x 10Gb ports and a quad core 2.6GHz CPU.

    GT AX11000 Dedicated 2.5G Port

    Use it to connect to your modem if you have multi-gig service. Otherwise it’s great for NAS.
