Ok But That is All

Does what it is supposed to do - give you a router, with ethernet ports and a strong WiFi signal. Biggest complaint is the antennas - they don't stay in the position you place them. If you wanted to have one or more point in anything but 90° forget it. If if doesn't immediately fall it will in a few minutes. That does not seem to affect the actual operation on the Router.

Fortified Frontline: Network Security
To defend your network, ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 features AiProtection Pro, a state-of-the-art intrusion prevention system powered by Trend Micro technology. It protects your gaming network from external attacks and threats, neutralizing them before they can reach your network or devices. Even if your PC's security software isn't turned on - to get around blocked games, for example - AiProtection Pro still protects your network from attacks and intrusions, giving you added peace of mind.

Some routers only offer 3 years of protection, ASUS AiProtection has you covered for the life of your product

Protection Against Attacks
Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) blocks all common internet-based attacks.

Block Access to Malicious Websites
AiProtection uses Trend Micro's official database to identify and block known malicious sites, preventing infection even before you click.

Infection Detection and Blocking
Even if an already-infected device is connected to ROG Rapture GT-AC5300, AiProtection prevents any personal data on the device from being compromised.

Simultaneous Gaming And VPN
If you're fed up with virtual private networks dragging down game performance, ROG has the answer. ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 has a killer feature called VPN Fusion, which lets you run a VPN and an ordinary internet connection - simultaneously! So even if other network users need to use a VPN, you can still enjoy maximum gaming speeds.

Your Own Gaming Wi-Fi Band!
Have you ever dreamed of having a Wi-Fi router just for gaming? Dream no longer: With the tri-band ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 you can easily allocate one of the two 5GHz bands to gaming devices, while other devices use the second 5GHz band or the 2.4GHz band. And for playing VR games and streaming 4K UHD videos, its WAN-to-LAN speeds of up to 1900Mbps make GT-AC5300 the winning choice for everyone!

Battle-Ready Hardware
ROG knows exactly what top gamers need: ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 is built for full-on gaming action with hardware that's ready to meet the toughest challenges. Eight gigabit LAN ports provide the connections you need for all of your gaming devices, and two USB 3.0 ports give you high-speed access to files on USB storage. Hardcore NAS enthusiasts will appreciate the Link Aggregation feature that lets you team two LAN ports together into a single blisteringly fast 2Gbps connection.

Extreme 1.8GHz Quad-Core Power
The ultimate router needs the ultimate processing power, so ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 is powered by a top-of-the-line 1.8GHz 64bit quad-core CPU that puts many desktop processors to shame. It offers more than enough power to handle anything you can throw at it, without skipping a beat - whether it's maximizing the WAN/LAN throughput for online gaming, supercharging USB data transfers, or powering your team's LAN party.

Built For Wi-Fi Freedom!
Wi-Fi is great, but not if it dies or slows down before it reaches your favorite gaming spot. To achieve the freedom you deserve, ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 features RangeBoost, a powerful range-enhancing combination of hardware and software that increases coverage while also significantly improving long-range throughput! At last, you decide where to play - instead of your router!

Powerful Whole-Home Wi-Fi System.
In most cases, your ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 can deliver smooth, reliable Wi-Fi to every part of your home. But Wi-Fi coverage can be affected by many factors - room layout, construction materials, and even furnishings. ASUS AiMesh is an innovative new router feature that fixes these problems: it creates a whole-home Wi-Fi network using multiple ASUS routers. AiMesh is powerful, flexible and you can use a mix of ASUS router models - protecting your investment! AiMesh gives you time-saving central control, and seamless roaming capability.
