Singapore – Media OutReach Newswire – March 15, 2024 – ASUS Singapore has showcased an exciting lineup of next-generation quad-band WiFi 7 routers that set new standards in performance and style. From the ROG Rapture GT-BE98 gaming router to the ZenWiFi BQ16 and ZenWiFi BQ16 Pro mesh routers, ASUS continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the world of technology.
ROG Rapture GT-BE98: A game beyond speed
Featuring a new 320 MHz channel in the 6 GHz band and 4096-QAM, the ultra-fast WiFi 7 (802.11be) gaming router significantly increases network capacity and throughput, delivering speeds of up to 25 Gbps. Multi-link operation links multiple bands simultaneously to ensure stable internet connection and efficient data transfer.
ZenWiFi BQ16 and ZenWiFi BQ16 Pro: Powerful WiFi and smart home master networking
ASUS ZenWiFi Mesh Router wins the coveted PC Magazine 2023 Readers’ Choice Award. The prestigious publication reported that “ASUS has a clear lead in this category,” receiving the highest scores “for both overall satisfaction and likelihood to recommend.” PCMag also says, “ASUS received very high scores for mesh coverage, WiFi speed, and network management.”
These new ASUS ZenWiFi mesh routers feature quad-band AiMesh technology, unlocking the potential of WiFi 7 across all bands. ZenWiFi BQ16 Pro allows a user to dedicate his one 6 GHz or 5 GHz band as backhaul and enjoy AI-enhanced connectivity with minimal congestion. 12 internal antennas and 16 high-power front-end modules compensate for his WiFi dead zones in all directions, and robust heat dissipation improves reliability. ZenWiFi mesh routers also offer peace of mind thanks to subscription-free commercial-grade AiProtection Pro powered by Trend Micro™, one-tap security scanning, and Safe Browsing. Comprehensive VPN functionality supports multiple protocols and site-to-site connections.
These new ZenWiFi routers also come with Smart Home Master, a feature-rich set of subnetworks for IoT devices, VPN, and parental control by SSID. The IoT network ensures seamless compatibility with WiFi 7 and security for connected home IoT devices. Kids Network allows users to establish a dedicated girlfriend SSID for their child’s room and manage screen time without having to configure settings on each device. A VPN network, on the other hand, provides a reasonable shortcut to a user’s favorite VPN service by connecting through a subnetwork.
