Dominate your network


The battle-ready ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 rou ter is designed with one mission in mind: Make your gaming network great. It comes with powerful gaming optimizations and delivers industry-leading Wi-Fi performance, rock-solid stability and extreme security. The Gaming Center's ROG interface provides easy point-and-click control for every incredible feature. The dashboard offers real-time monitoring of all your devices and connections, while the Game IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) and Game Boost are command centres for frontline network security and game acceleration. Other features include Gamers Private Network support with WTFast, Wi-Fi Radar that prevents congestion, Game Radar ping mapping that shows you where the fastest servers are, and VPN Fusion for simultaneous use of a VPN in addition to your web connection.

Triple-level game acceleration


The ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 provides two gaming LAN ports that are optimized for gaming devices. All traffic on these ports gets the highest priority, so your gaming devices or other devices you want to connect to these ports will always be at the front of the Internet queue!

Game Boost analyzes network traffic and prioritizes game packets, giving them a second level of acceleration to achieve the best possible performance. Game Boost can be activated instantly via a single click on the Gaming Center dashboard and supports many popular consoles, including these models: PS3, PS4, PS4 Pro, PlayStation Vita , Wii U, Nintendo 3DS and Xbox One.

The ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 includes built-in support for the Gamers Private Network, powered by WTFast, which provides private, optimised Internet connections to game servers¹, reducing ping and latency to ensure smooth, lag-free gaming.

Enhanced Security


To defend your network, the ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 features Game IPS (Intrusion Prevention System), an intrusion prevention system developed by Trend Micro. It protects your gaming network from external attacks and threats, neutralizing them before they reach your network or devices. Even if your PC's security software is not activated to access locked-down games, for example, Game IPS continues to protect your network against attacks and intrusions, giving you peace of mind.

Play and use a VPN simultaneously


If you're tired of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) taking away from your gaming performance, ROG has a solution. The ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 offers a new feature called VPN Fusion, which allows you to use a virtual private network (VPN) and a regular Internet connection at the same time! So even if other users on the network need to use a VPN, you can still enjoy maximum gaming speeds.

Your own Wi-Fi bandwidth for gaming


Have you ever dreamed of having a Wi-Fi router just for gaming? Your dream has come true: The ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 Triband Router lets you easily assign one of two 5 GHz bands to gaming devices, while other devices will use the second 5 GHz band or the 2.4 GHz band. And for virtual reality gaming and 4K/UHD video streaming, its WAN-to-LAN speeds of up to 1900 Mbps make the GT-AC5300 the winning choice for everyone!

Battle-ready hardware


ROG knows exactly what gamers need: The ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 is designed for total gaming action with components ready to take on the toughest challenges. Eight gigabit LAN ports provide the connections you need for all your gaming peripherals, and two USB 3.0 ports give you high-speed access to files on a USB storage device. Hardcore NAS users will appreciate the link aggregation feature that lets you combine two LAN ports into a single connection with blazing speeds of up to 2 Gbps (link aggregation requires a client with 802.3ad support).

The ultimate router needs extreme processing power, so the ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 is powered by a high-end 64-bit quad-core processor running at 1.8GHz that outperforms many PC processors. It offers more than enough power to handle any task, without wasting time, whether it's maximizing WAN/LAN throughput for online gaming, boosting data transfers over USB, or improving the flow of your LAN party.

    Very good product

    I've been using it for a while now, but it's a very good product, and it's not too expensive. I had a bit of trouble configuring it but as soon as I did, I could see the difference with my classic box.
