ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000

Up Close Cont

We mentioned how the top was really reflective, and we don’t think a picture better demonstrates that than here. Make sure you’ve got a dust-cloth on standby. This also shows how sturdy the eight fixed antenna are. See, entertaining and informative. We’re too good to you.

  

Large rubber pads complete the tour of the ROG Rapture, making sure it remains exactly where you’ve placed it. Especially important as LAN cables aren’t known for their flexibility.

  

If you’ve looked at all that and thought “excellent, but I live in a mansion” then you’ll be pleased to note that you can also get ASUS ZenWiFi Pro ET12 WiFi extenders. Much like the Rapture itself these are very much at the high-end of home networking prices, but also deliver spectacular range with the minimum of fuss. Overkill for most of us, but if you’re setting up a small business, or simply want WiFi to also work when you’re at the bottom of your garden, the ET12 have you covered.

  
  

Thankfully the design isn’t too obtrusive, certainly compared with many WiFi extenders on the market.

  

You’ve also got a good amount of connection options on the rear, ensuring you’ll never be short of ways to build your network.

  

Mmm lovely antenna hidden beneath a perspex cover. Very reminiscent of the 2001 Monoliths, but with some extra flair on top.

  

Now we’re not going to pretend that a home networking setup with this many features and this level of pricing is going to be for everyone, but if you’ve grown tired of slow file transfer speeds, or running out of bandwidth in mission critical tasks because everyone else is using the network, or simply you want to build a very secure system that is guaranteed to be still at the cutting edge for long into the future, then the ASUS ROG Rapture GFT-AXE16000 might be the solution for which you’ve been craving.
