Keep your gaming band clean
Tri-band networking lets you dedicate one 5GHz band to gaming only, so you can avoid competing for bandwidth with other devices on your home network. With dynamic frequency selection (DFS), ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 also unlocks 15 channels in the least-congested 5GHz bands, providing more bandwidth for all of your wireless devices.
Fortified Frontline Network Security
ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 features AiProtection Pro powered by Trend Micro to defend your network from external attacks and threats by neutralising them before they can reach your devices. Even if your PC’s security software isn’t turned on, AiProtection Pro still protects your network from attacks and intrusions, giving you added peace of mind.
Powerful Whole-home Wi-Fi system. The way you want

So far so good have linked to my 2 ASUS RT-AX92Us and seems to be doing a good job.
I even have Sky Q alongside would probably be better if I could turn off routing on this, but still working ok even so
I’m using in a wired backhaul AiMesh with 2xAX86U nodes (one on 2.5GbE). Running RMerlin’s 386.8_0_rog firmware at the time of writing this review and everything is stable with a mixture of wired and wireless clients. This replaces an Asus AX88U and the WiFi range is better on all bands.
I will update this review if required but so far, so good.
This is the best router I have owned. A great user interface. The basic settings are easy to set up. My network has definitely improved. I cannot comment on the tech support as I have not needed to contact them.
firmware is quite buggy even updated to the latest one. faced a couple of issue in 5ghz and its very weird that 160mhz only work on channel under 100ch , the most stable 5g channel is 36. Once i figure it out. the network is quite stable and fast at the end. I could reach nearly 1G lan performance at ax160mhz . i feel quite disapointed that it does not allow to use 1G lan as a wan and leaverge 2.5gbe wan port in lan network. it make more sense if you could have only 1gb boardband.
I use this router for around 30 devices. All works brilliantly. It supports at least 6 SSIDs, which is very useful for migration purposes and guest networks. I also use it as a NAS and able to get excellent backup speeds of up to 600mbs. Although the WiFi signal strength is a little lower than my older router, WiFi 6 has improved throughput. I’m now able operate at my Internet wire speed of 380mbs throughout the house. Only complaint is the slightly noisy fan.
Bought this so I could put the Virgin hub in modem only mode. Virgin WiFi signal was weak by my shed in the garden – roughly 10mbps by the shed when paying for the M200 contract. By using this router, the speed by the shed was up to 200mbps. Great signal now all through the house. Great router.
latest firmware and no issues, running 2x 5ghz networks on DFS channels. Able to pull down 650-800Mbps on wifi ax devices in the same room as the router, however this drops off the more walls you travel past.
1gbps ftth running through it and does not break a swea
Complicated device. If using 1Gbps fibre watch the various QOS modes as they prevent a device getting the full 1Gbps which can make you think the broadband is performing badly. The latest firmware includes a speedtest within the router but it can’t go above 600 Mbps for whatever reason so may be misleading also.
I’ve had 2000Mbps unstable between two of these in AiMesh. Using Wi-Fi backhaul i can get internet downloads at 940 down which are stable upload isn’t so is nearer 600 this more to do with local interference and limitations of Wi-Fi. There quite large units. Since latest firmware they have been very stable.
Brilliant. My virgin broadband hub 3 was useless .i gave up on customer service and bought the asus rapture a probably over the top router to assist. Wow its fast and covers the all of my 5 bed house easily. Well worth it for trouble free broadband.recommended
Few issues to set up at the beginning but all resolved. I’ve tried many routers/mesh systems lost count.
This is the router to have to cover all the dead zones in your house. Perfect for a big house with thick walls.
360 well spend to eradicate a 3 year headache
The Asus ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 Wi-Fi 6 is a class router, and it doesn’t disappoint. Its performance is good at close range, but it improves with distance to set a new standard for those who want to fill a large home with high-speed Wi-Fi !!!!
Highly recommended 🙂
Larger than what you think it will be, you will need a large shelf or small table/desk to sit it on. Easy to setup had it up and running within minutes for basic Internet and then played around with the large amount of configurations to get best setup for me.
Looks great build quality is fantastic love it!
Easy to set up at first
Login to Virgin router 192.168.0.1 and set to modem mode
Plug Asus into Virgin modem via lan and set up via walkthrough
500mbps all over our 4 bed detached
Not had to restart it once so far
Upgraded firmware to latest 8011 nightmare no matter what I did my speed dropped from 500 to 200 mbps everywhere
Sorted it now by turning smart detect on and then changing chanels to 160mhz and changing from auto on those 2 chanels 60 and 104 I think
Back to 500 now so very happy with it even put the Aimesh RT-AX92U upstairs for my lads xbox
Its wireless to that then lan cable into xbox hes getting test figures over 600 on the xbox 1 x so again well impressed
Should last a few years now being wifi 6
Samsung s10+ both get 500
Xbox over 500
Old PC upstairs on wireless 250
Old laptop 2007 samsung r780 wireless 250
I researched loads before buying this router. i wasn’t too keen on spending so much money on one, but after lots of reviews this was the only router that gave total confidence.
Im with plusnet in the UK, who quite frankly are utter rubbish. The plusnet router can barely offer a strong wifi signal even in the same room, and they didn’t care to help.
Fitted in the ASUS router 1 month ago now and i am acheiving WIRED speed every where in my house, its quite simply amazing. Very simple to setup too and i now use the 5Ghz frequency which means no channel conflict with other local networks.
With 5 smart devices, TV and 3 laptops all using the wifi, 2 of which are used for gaming, the wifi still doesn’t slow at anytime!
In short, this router is worth the extra money over the others, it absolutely obliterates wifi blackspots in my 3 floor house.
Had nothing but trouble from my virgin media hub so decided to go for something much more up market and happy I made the right choice, no more problems with WiFi not connecting, no more trouble with range extender connecting to router, much more reliable and wish I done it soone
Expensive, yes! Happy knowing it is future proofed for a few years though. Dont need the power, bit overkill. Just wanted something that could handle all the devices I have. Upgraded from an extremely slow and tempremental Netgear R7000. Im happy with it.
BEST MONEY EVER SPENT!!! I bought this as my sky fibre was giving me really poor Wi-Fi speeds and really in reliable, I bought the Netgear dm200 to go with it as a modem and the set was really easy, now I’m getting 98mbps through my PS4 (only getting 12mbps max with sky hub) would highly recommend!! Also don’t need and boosters as the Wi-Fi now reaches my whole house.
Just love this router. Does everything but talk to you. Gui is quite user friendly and it needs to be as this is a powerful unit and has a lot of options and settings. Have implemented wpa2 enterprise with this had an issue with old routers dropping connection rebooting automatically and clearing settings on occasions drive me nuts…not any more. Ai monitors connection dropout and auto boosts signal when needed… trend micro monitors for nasties through the router and changes channel to 13 if there a lot of traffic. Very happy with this router would highly recommend.
Having got fed up with my Virgin Media Hub 3 erratic performance, I decided to look around for a gaming specific router. After some lengthy research, I decided to go with the Asus GT-AX11000 ROG Rapture. I was not disappointed! I switched my Virgin hub into modem only mode and connected to the Asus router. Setting it up was fairly simple and the results were outstanding. I now have dependable Wi-Fi throughout my house. I used to use an ethernet cable connection for gaming, but the new Wi-Fi connection is just as reliable. No more lag and interrupted connections. The Asus router is a really outstanding piece of work. Highly recommended.
Expensive but get what you pay for. Extremely fast pairs well with Samsung S10+ with WiFi 6 running over 1000Mbps connection speed between router and the mobile. Not had it long so can’t really comment on reliability, but I don’t think they will be any issues.
Needing to replace my old n66u’s I bought two of these ax11000’s and set them up with AIMesh including an ac5300. Resulting home network is flawless – super fast, no weak spots, no drop-off on client devices when moving around the house. AIMesh is tricky – I found I had to place the devices 1m apart (any further and it failed consistently). Once configured it is really impressive, if a little bulky. Not cheap, but really very good.
