ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 router

ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) didn't shy away from their products at the CES 2017 last week, showing plenty of goodies for the gamers of all ages. One of the highlights is the first ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 router, multiple laptops and motherboards upgraded with the brand-new 7th Generation Intel Core (‘Kaby Lake’) processors, also on display are the latest ROG Maximus IX and ROG Strix motherboards and an extensive collection of gaming peripherals. In this article, we will take a look at the gaming router and gaming accessories.

Gaming router

ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 is the first ROG router designed specifically for gaming, featuring tri-band Wi Fi, eight-port gigabit-LAN, and its own powerful PC-grade, 1.8GHz quad-core CPU to enable incredibly fast and responsive network gaming. GT-AC5300 also includes two ultra-fast USB 3.0 ports.

The new router benefits from a number of features to make gaming easier, faster and smoother. One of it is the Game Boost feature that works in conjunction with two gaming ports to prioritize gaming traffic for the best networking speeds, as well as individual speeds for each connected gaming device. Users also have the ability to set up a private gaming network, to accelerate the connection between the router and preferred game servers.

It also features a Game Intrusion Prevention System (Game IPS) that offers integrated security based on Trend Micro technology to provide robust front-line protection for gaming networks. Game IPS allows PC-based anti-virus and firewall software to be temporarily disabled during gaming sessions, freeing up CPU performance for improved gaming speeds — and preventing legitimate game traffic from being blocked.

There's also a Gaming Center, which provides an instant overview of the gaming network, so players can see the current internet status and stability, and it also shows server ping speeds for popular games from all around the world.
