ASUS ROG Rapture GT-BE19000AI - First Router with Integrated AI

ASUS Republic of Gamers is once again revolutionizing the world of networking with the new ROG Rapture GT-BE19000AI, the world's first router equipped with an integrated AI core. Designed for gamers and creators, this device ushers in a new era of connectivity.

Inside, it features a dedicated NPU, a quad-core processor, 4 GB of DDR4 RAM, and 32 GB of internal storage. This setup allows for running "packaged" applications thanks to the native integration of Docker Engine, transforming the router into a true edge computing center. This makes it possible to manage automation, AI, or IoT services directly from the device, without the need for a PC.

Router that connects and "thinks"

In terms of speed, we find tri-band Wi-Fi 7, 320 MHz channels, and 4096-QAM, with the GT-BE19000AI reaching up to 19 Gbps wirelessly and offering Ethernet ports up to 10 Gbps. The WiFi Insight and AI Game Boost functions leverage artificial intelligence to automatically optimize performance, reducing latency by up to 34% and aiming for stable connections even in congested environments.

Completing the picture are AiProtection for enterprise-grade security and Guest Network Pro, which allows for creating up to 5x separate networks for gaming, IoT, or guest access. Estimated price around 500€.
