Epitome via Asus

The Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 merely got its reveal, and hopefully, it isn't onsetting anyone's arachnophobia. The new gaming router made its debut at CES 2022, and its creepy-crawly antennae are far from the only notable features.

The 16000 is the first quad-band gaming router, which means iv separate bands of traffic that give your uploads and downloads more than options should they need to switch signals while operating. Those iv options include 2 5Ghz bands, ane 2.4Ghz band, and a Wi-Fi 6E-sectional 6Ghz band, the fastest of the agglomeration — its tiptop transfer rates tin can push upward to 4.8 gigabits per second. There also multiple LAN ports, including two that can accept up to ten Gbps transfers.

If you're not technically minded, don't sweat information technology. All those numbers mean very fast internet speeds for multiplayer, streaming, or other online gaming functions. The router besides sports Asus-specific tools to boost the Wi-Fi signal in your home, server guidance for specific games, and other accelerating features.

The ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 hits the market place afterwards this year, and it'll cost a hefty $649 when it does. That said, that cost is somewhere in the middle of the hardware we've seen out of CES 2022 and then far. In terms of new graphics cards, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 Ti sits at a whopping $1,499, while AMD'southward Radeon RX 6500 XT goes for $199.
