Questions about ASUS GT-BE98

We recommend that you ask this question as a discussion. Experience has shown that more customers respond there than to a single question. https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/community/producttype/router-64?tagIds=7-1377

this is just a router, no modem is included

you'll probably find the pro on amazone, but I'm not sure if he delivers to Switzerland... no fibre on this model, it's quite rare to have fibre on it, almost always forced by the operator's fibre box...

in theory, you'll get more speed with wifi7... but it's hard to compare the 2. https://versus.com/en/asus-rog-rapture-gt-ax11000-pro-vs-asus-rog-rapture-gt-be98

ask Asus support directly online, you'll get a more reliable answer, I don't use it that way ^^ https://www.asus.com/support/Product/ContactUs/Services/questionform/ https://www.asus.com/ch-de/support/

Perhaps you could specify which speed test you mean? Does the Asus have an integrated speed test? I'm not at home at the moment and can't check, but not that I know of and there's nothing in the manual either... If it does (and I was blind when setting it up ;) ), which server does it connect to? It can't be ruled out that the remote station (currently) may not be as fast (which can be due to various factors). If it is not a speed test integrated into the device: Which device plus software/application are you using to test? Extract from the specs: 6GHz BE: 4x4 4096 QAM 20/40/80/160/320MHz, up to 11529Mbp Means, only if your end device -6 GHz and - 4x4 MIMO (many mobiles and some laptops have a 2x2 module installed), this "data rate" can be achieved. However, as far as I know, the stated values are only the gross data rate; depending on the environment, the actual data rate can be "only" 2/3... And as far as I know, the advertised MLO only serves as an auto fall-back to another frequency band, should there be problems, as far as I know (caution: half-knowledge) it is not possible to bond bandwidths from 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz in order to "add up" the possible bandwidths / speeds, so to speak. But I'm not deep enough into the subject for that. From my point of view, the easiest way would be to check whether everything is ok with your WAN port/Asus router: Connect a device with a 5/10Gbit Lan port (they are more common now) to the 2nd 10G port of the router and then run the speed test! If it reaches 5 or 8 Gbit, you have full speed between Internet Box 4 and the BE98. Of course, this requires such a device and a suitable LAN cable. I hope I have at least been able to narrow down your problem a little. Best regards! (btw: I can only dream of 8Gbit Internet here where I live... :D I'm minimally envious :P )

Unfortunately, I was unable to find accurate answers to these specific questions. I would recommend that the question is still posted in the Community so that more people can be reached than a single question here on the product. Otherwise, maybe someone has practical experience with the router and can answer it. Another option is to ask the manufacturer, as they may have the answers in their database.

Hello, Here are the dimensions with the antennas, based on the data sheet from our supplier: Width: 350.4 mm Depth: 350.4 mm Height: 220.6 mm

The 10gbit and 2.5Gbit RJ45 connections are all also 1Gbit capable.

The Pro version/US version is of little or no use in Europe/CH as only one 320MHz channel is permitted in the 6 GHz band. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels -> 6GHz and from Bakom: https://www.bakom.admin.ch/bakom/de/home/geraete-anlagen/besondere-geraete/wlan-rlan.html
