Earlier this year, the Federal Communications Commission paved the way for a new pay generation, via Wi-Fi connections. Voting to open the spectrum in the 6 GHz band For use without a license. Now, at its Meta Buffs launching event, Asus is taking advantage of that fresh Wi-Fi real estate, and announcing the first router to support it. Wi-Fi 6E transmission It’s in the 6GHz band.
Specifically, it is the Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000, a high-end, tri-band Gaming router Which will hit stores in December of this year. Like the previous router in the lineup, the ROG Rapture GT-AX11000, the new model features eight antennas in a modern, show-y fi design to appeal to gamers – but an additional “E” in the model number indicates support for Wi-Fi 6E.

“Asus is an established leader in the networking market and was the first player to launch a Wi-Fi 6 router,” the company said in its press release. “Asus is now delivering wider bandwidth and extending the Wi-Fi 6E’s 160 MHz channels with the world’s first Wi-Fi 6E router ROG Rapture GT-AXE 11000.”
Pricing details are not yet determined, but prior to that Wi-Fi 6 Is the model Still sells for 450, You shouldn’t expect that after the GT-AXE 11000 gets cheaper.

The big advantage of Wi-Fi 6E support is that it allows devices to access Huge swath of relatively unusable bandwidth In the 6GHz band. With 1,200 MHz, it is more than twice the width of the 5 GHz band, allowing a huge number of wide channels that can pass traffic faster and more efficiently. And, since the band has no legacy Wi-Fi devices, it will serve as a semi-exclusive VIP segment for new Wi-Fi gadgets equipped to take advantage. That means less interference and improved delays.
The GT-AXE 11000 has a multi-gigabit LAN port that supports an incoming wired speed of 2.5 Gbps, and will allow you to connect two Gigabyte VAN ports simultaneously for combined speeds of up to 2 Gbps.

Earlier this year, Perry Carrell, director of product marketing at Extreme Networks, which sits on both the IEEE 11 Max and Wi-Fi Alliance, Wi-Fi 6 task groups, explained that there could be Wi-Fi 6E connections. Especially interested gamers On the cutting edge.
“AR / VR and gaming is another great case to get used to the 6GHz band,” Careley told CNET. “Many don’t realize that high-end VR sets that require the most bandwidth are actually tethered with cable. Rates with the right dynamics are required.”
In addition to Wi-Fi 6E support, the GT-AXE11000 is powered by a 64-bit CPU with 1.8GHz, 1GB of RAM. It supports 4×4 Wi-Fi 6 connections, features a multi-gig L port for wired speeds up to 2.5 Gbps, and allows for WN integration, where you can use two Ethernet WNs to achieve wireless speeds of up to 2 Gbps. Connect the speed coming from the port. . The router also uses the “latest 6GHz power amplifier” to improve signal strength and coverage – significant inclusion of signals Will not travel in the 6GHz band at all.
Hopefully, next week we’ll learn a lot about this new gaming router – including how much it actually costs. Once we have a chance to test it ourselves, we will make sure to tell you everything about it, so go ahead.
