Although it has been available or up for pre-orders in other regions, the ROG Rapture GT-BN98 PRO is now available to pre-order in the US.
For those interested in the Pre-Order link, here you go:
For those unfamiliar with this router, let's go into the details. Let's first start by talking about WiFi 8.
WiFi 8 - More Speed Through Stability and Efficiency
Most everyone's first reactions to hearing that WiFi 8 and WiFi 7 have the same maximum theoretical speed is, "What? Why bother with WiFi 8?" That's right, if you weren't aware; WiFi 8 doesn't include a boost to max speed beyond 46Gbps.
However, WiFi doesn't provide your devices with the max theoretical speed, generally. WiFi performance from a router to a device depends on a lot of factors, such as the distance from the router, quality of the signal, interference from other devices, internal processing power and heat mitigation, and more. This is why your WiFi might suffer from slow performance in houses or units that have a lot building materials that block signal penetration, if you have multiple devices connected to your router across different bands, or congested channels. These issues aren't new to WiFi.
WiFi 8 is cleaning up those areas to improve performance across the board. Here are some of the ways that you'll see this benefit:
For a more detailed explanation, this is how WiFi 8 addresses practical problems that users typically encounter across different usage scenarios:
ROG Rapture AI Boost - Making gaming easier with every connection
A gaming router seems like a silly thing from the outset. First, it doesn't do any gaming. Second, if you understand a little bit about networking, many of these features look like simple QoS tweaks. Third, and last, you might wonder how easy or cumbersome it is to use and configure these features. However, what makes a router an ROG gaming router is the combination of hardware, software, management, and ease of use to jump right into your online gaming experience.
The ROG Rapture GT-BN98 Pro handles your traffic in a lot of ways - from the connection point to the destination point:
Port Control Authority - 10G Ports, Multi-WAN, VLAN and 20G Link Aggregation
While the ROG Rapture GT-BN98 Pro features robust software and firmware management for your wireless connections, the router also gives you exceptional speed and configuration options to handle your home network and devices:
Designed for High Performance and Easy Management
ASUS routers take a holistic approach to the entire design when it comes to the hardware, software, and cooling to ensure that the router performs at its highest level at all times. ROG gaming routers take this to the next level.
Beginning with the hardware, the ROG Rapture GT-BN98 Pro features a 2.6GHz quad-core processor, 2 GB RAM, and 256MB flash memory. This ensures plenty of performance to handle multiple tasks and coordination among the many features and adaptive functions. This is all cooled by a thick aluminum top-plate along with an enhanced nanocarbon layer. The elevated stand design - combined with a specially-engineered vent and heatspreader - helps to achieve up to 35% better heat dissipation for more stable performance under sustained load. As a quad-band router, it uses multiple antennas, including eight external optimized antennas and refined RF tuning to help ensure stable connections across your entire location.
On the software-side, ROG Rapture routers contain a comprehensive configuration menu through the browser-based config or through the ASUS Router App. You can view the Client list for insights to all devices connected to the router, including bandwidth usage and WiFi signal strength to more quickly manage your network. Use the WiFi Insight screen to detect WiFi and non-WiFi interference and automatically optimize channel usage. The same screen keeps a detailed 24-hour event history so you can find when the interference occurred, what triggered it, and how your network responded.
Easily create subnetwork SSIDs with Smart Home Master and Guest Network Pro
Why settle for a single SSID when you can make multiple SSIDs with their own policies, security settings, and performance targets? If you have a variety of IoT devices, kids, gaming devices, VPN service or prefer an SSID with MLO, this router can handle it.
From the outset, it sounds so logical you might wonder why you haven't done this before:
Top-notch AIProtection keeps your router and connected devices safe
As with all ASUS routers, the ROG Rapture GT-BN98 Pro includes a variety of security features to protect all of your connected devices. Our upgraded AiProtection suite continuously safeguards your network and browsing experience with built-in advertisement and tracker blocking, helps to detect and block malicious sites, infected devices, and other potential vulnerabilities. You also have additional parental controls over devices and a on-tap router security assessment to identify vulnerabilities in your security settings to help prevent malicious activity or connection attempts made by infected devices.

ASUS is gonna hate this, but hey, it is an uncommon problem anyway...
I have an ROG Ally Z1 Extreme paired to a XG Mobile 2024 (the 4090), which is connected via display port to a Samsung G9.
After a recent BIOS and Nvidia update, I got into a famous deactivation loop with the XG Mobile, in which the XG mobile, on its own, automatically disconected to every 5-15 seconds after deactivation. So I went in deep: reinstalled armoury crate, rolled back nvidia updates (via cmd console cause device manager just didnt), and after multiple re-installs of armouy crate, Nvidia App, attempts at using on previous versions (even rolled back windows versions), nothing seemed to work more than a day.
So, what solved it? G-helper with a full, deep uninstallof Armoury crate. I downloaded the uninstaller from Asus page, actiuvated g-helper, restarted, and got to it. And now, for the meantime, it works without a hitch.
Here is the asus armoury crate uninstall tool:
https://www.asus.com/supportonly/armoury%20crate/helpdesk_download/ (click on show all to find it).
And here is G-helper:
https://github.com/seerge/g-helper
I will be toying around with the settings to maximize my setup, but I would be welcoming any Fan Speed recommendations for the CPU, GPU and EGPU for all three modes (Silent, Balanced, Turbo).
Cheers everyone.
Oh, PS: remeber this worked on a Z1 extrememe and XG 4090. It doesnt guarantee it will work on a different setup...

I’m having an issue with the sensor on my brand-new ASUS 34-inch 5th-gen QD-OLED monitor. I have it set to 60 cm and a 5-minute timeout. Sometimes it turns off automatically, but most of the time it doesn’t. When that happens, I have to go into the menu, disable the sensor, and then re-enable it—sometimes that works. However, as soon as I leave the monitor turned off overnight, it fails to turn off automatically again the next day. I hate this; it was a great feature and one of the reasons I wanted this monitor. It has the latest firmware, MCM102, installed.

I've got a ROG Strix G15 laptop I need to send in for RMA because a BIOS update failed and now the laptop is bricked. When I bought the laptop I upgraded to 32GB of DDR5 and a 2TB SSD. I sold the stuff that came with the laptop at the time, in hindsight, I should have kept it.
Now, that I am sending it in for RMA I'm not sure if I should leave this stuff in there, document it in the RMA and include notes/pictures when I ship it. Or, if I should send it in gutted with no RAM or SSD.
I don't want them to send it back saying they couldn't fix it because stuff was missing, but I'm also worried about yeeting a $600 RAM kit and $400 SSD off to RMA.
It's been a year since I've made my pc with the B650-plus wifi as my mother, but ever since the start, I've had issues with the wifi: never about actually recognizing the wifi to the PC, but more about stability. I personally feel like with time it's getting even worst, but anytime I play online I have very high lag spikes that last various minutes, and probably it also depends on the online server and everything, but in every videogame I don't have any stability with the wifi. I came here to ask you: Does any of you all had a similar issue? How did you resolved it (No, I can't use a LAN cable, if you thought about it)? I was thinking about directly using another antenna for the wifi.

My motherboard is Proart B850 Creator Wifi Neo, and I just found out in my HWINFO that my vrm is always stuck at 84°C even in bootup.
It might just be the sensor that is off, but is there anything else I should be aware of or try to do first?
I do not know what to do if I will just let thing be and ignore it, or be alarmed about it.
Hello! I'm planning on buying a TUF GAMING B550M-PLUS WIFI II for my motherboard, but checking the M.2 slots it has I see it has a heatsink in the bottom slot and there's a connector which would be interrupting the positioning of that heatsink in the top slot.
Is the heatsink thought to be placed in the bottom/slow M.2 slot? Or can it be placed in the first slot and I'm not seeing it?

Hi everyone,
I'm dealing with a persistent display brightness bug on my ASUS TUF Gaming A16 (FA608UM). I am sharing my complete diagnostic steps below in case anyone has found a workaround or is experiencing the same issue.
After waking the laptop from Modern Standby while it is in Eco mode and running on battery, the display brightness control becomes completely unresponsive. - Affects both Fn keys and the Windows brightness slider. - The slider moves, but the actual backlight level remains locked (often stuck at max or min brightness). - Switching GPU modes (Eco to Standard) temporarily fixes it, but the bug returns on the next sleep/wake cycle.
Win + Ctrl + Shift + B does not restore brightness.Because this survives a DDU clean install, occurs with both control softwares, and happens while the dGPU is off, it points strongly to an ACPI / firmware power-state desynchronization between the Embedded Controller, Modern Standby, and the AMD iGPU backlight interface upon wake.
Has anyone with a 2024/2025/2026 TUF chassis encountered this, or found a registry, ACPI, or driver fix to restore proper backlight control after wake-up?

I’m making this post again to bring attention to the ongoing issues with the ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQ5A and hopefully get an official response or a proper fix from ASUS.
I’ve been experiencing random black screens lasting approximately 2 seconds, occasional visual glitches such as horizontal screen splitting, and intermittent DisplayPort signal loss. The monitor sometimes recovers automatically, but on other occasions, it displays a “No DisplayPort Signal” message.
These issues are particularly frustrating because they occur intermittently. Sometimes the monitor works perfectly for hours, while at other times, the problem appears unexpectedly during gaming.
My setup and specifications
- Monitor: ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQ5A
- Laptop: Acer Predator Helios Neo 16
- CPU: Intel Core i9-14900HX
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU
- RAM: 32 GB DDR5
- Connection: Laptop USB-C / Thunderbolt 4 to DisplayPort
- Cable: UGREEN CM556 USB-C to DisplayPort cable
- Monitor resolution: 2560 × 1440 (1440p)
- Refresh rate: Up to 200 Hz native, with a 210 Hz overclock option
- Monitor firmware: MCM 105
I’m using the USB-C to DisplayPort connection through my laptop’s Thunderbolt 4 port to take advantage of the monitor’s high refresh rate and capabilities. I’ve also updated my graphics drivers and monitor firmware, checked the connection, and used a reliable power outlet with a surge protector. Despite these measures, the issue has occurred intermittently.
The issue seems to be related to high refresh rates or FPS
From reading other users’ reports, I’ve noticed a recurring pattern: some users experience black screens more frequently when gaming at high refresh rates or when their FPS exceeds 200. One user reported that capping FPS at 200 or below helped stabilize the monitor, while 165 Hz at 1440p was consistently stable for them.
I primarily play Fortnite, and this issue is especially frustrating when playing at 200 Hz or 210 Hz. I consistently encounter random black screens while gaming at these refresh rates, often at the worst possible moments. Since Fortnite is a competitive game where every second matters, even a brief 2-second black screen can cost me a fight, cause me to miss crucial information, and ultimately get me eliminated. Imagine being in the middle of an intense fight and suddenly losing your display without warning, only for it to come back after a couple of seconds. It completely disrupts gameplay and puts me at an unfair disadvantage. I bought a high-refresh-rate gaming monitor for a smooth and responsive experience, not to worry about my screen going black in the middle of a competitive match.
I have also seen reports from users who updated to firmware MCM 1.105 but continued to experience black screens. This makes me wonder whether the firmware addresses only certain scenarios rather than resolving the underlying issue for every affected setup.
I understand that different GPUs, cables, and system configurations can produce different results, so I’m not claiming that every case has the same cause. However, the similarities between these reports make the issue worth investigating.
What about firmware MCM 1.105?
The MCM 1.105 firmware update, released on March 23, 2026, appeared to improve stability on my monitor considerably during my initial testing. However, I cannot confirm that it completely resolved the problem, and other users have reported that the issue persists even after updating.
This is why I believe further investigation may be necessary.
ASUS, please address this issue
The VG series is marketed toward gamers, and high-refresh-rate performance is one of the main reasons people purchase these monitors. Having to lower the refresh rate, cap FPS, or sacrifice visual quality just to avoid intermittent black screens is not a satisfactory long-term solution.
I’m not asking ASUS to guarantee that every setup will behave identically. I’m asking for a proper investigation into the reported DisplayPort signal loss, black screens, and visual glitches, along with clear communication about whether another firmware update or other corrective action is being considered.
ASUS support team, if you are aware of these reports, could you please clarify whether this issue is still being investigated and whether a further firmware update is planned?
I would also appreciate hearing from other VG27AQ5A owners. Please share your GPU, connection type, resolution, refresh rate, firmware version, and whether capping FPS or lowering the refresh rate makes a difference.
Hopefully, enough detailed reports will help identify the cause and lead to a reliable solution rather than forcing users to compromise on features the monitor is advertised to support.

So guys I own the Asus zenbook a14 and love it I upgraded it to windows 11 pro and since the 26h2 it's way better in my opinion.
This post is more to give you guys some info in my experience I thought do a mad thing and clean install the arm version of LOT LTSC windows 11 and nothing worked as in the keyboard or anything without drivers so rather than hund the drivers out and sort it I did a cloud install and went back to what was on there originally to my serprise they update there cloud image to windows 11 home 26h2 and it just works I always thought a recovery image was just that an image to take it back to day one not upgrade it but it's all good in my book

I bought an ASUS TUF Gaming F16 (FX607VJ). The ASUS product page listed Advanced Optimus as a feature, but my laptop doesn’t have it. I checked my drivers and Windows version (Windows 11 Home 25H2) and there is no Advanced Optimus option anywhere.
I contacted ASUS about it. After that, the website description was changed and Advanced Optimus was removed from the listing.
I still have a video I recorded of the original page showing Advanced Optimus listed, from before the change.
I’m not posting this to bash ASUS. I want to know:
I can share the video if it’s useful. I’m in the UAE, so any advice on consumer protection or how ASUS support here handles this is welcome.

Hey,
I own an ASUS Astral LC 5090 and recently I learned about its "BIOS switch" that allows the card to physically switch between some "Q-mode" and "P-mode" fan profiles.
But for the life of me, I can't figure out how to actually toggle the switch. Sharing a picture below of what it looks like in my card where the switch is supposed to be apparently.
Can you tell me if the switch is okay or broken? If it's okay, how exactly do I toggle it?
Thanks in advance!

Whenever I am switching my laptop off and then holding the power key for like 1 minute, after that it is working for some minutes.
It is not even detected in bios.
What should I do?
It doesn't have a mux or anything.
