Decompose the giant gaming router!Explore the ability of "Rog Rapture GT-AC5300"

"Rog Rapture GT-AC5300".It is a router that boasts monster specifications around 55,000 yen

　With the use of video streaming services as well as PC games, wireless LAN routers also needed power.If you were playing games, you suddenly had a large -scale delay, or if you were watching streaming videos, the network fell temporarily ...Most of them are delayed because the router cannot withstand loads, but such events are fatal when the game title is consuming to be connected, such as FPS, RTS, and MMORPG.

　If you want to realize a comfortable gameplay even with wireless, or always communicate with multiple devices, of course, you want to use the router that fits such purposes.The Rog Raptore GT-AC5300, the first router of the ASUS gaming brand "ROG" series, which was launched today, is a perfect product for such users.Although it is a gaming brand, it is assumed to be a game, but it is a luxurious specification that can be used as a SOHO -scale router.

It's big for a small PC!Super high -end router for triband

　The Rog Rapture GT-AC5300 is a tribind-compatible Wi-Fi router, 5GHz band x 2, 2.4GHz band x 1 can be used and supports up to 2167Mbps 4 streams.It is attractive that you can build a bandwidth for the game, but also prepare a stable communication status even in game play.As will be described later around the settings, let's first check from the impactful appearance.

　The body size is about 245mm x 245mm x 65mm without a blade antenna, and weighs about 1880g, which is a major feature of this product as a router.Eight blade antennas are installed in the mounting type, and the shape is noticeable like a gaming router.Many people may have a robot and have a higher tension, but because of the antenna on the four sides, the installation area cannot be reduced by turning the main unit sideways.In addition, the quad -core "Broadcom 4908" (1) to the CPU (1).Since it is equipped with 8GHz), the router is very high spec, so there is no compromise on the cooling performance, and airflow from the bottom to the top is secured.When considering a purchase, it is necessary to consider a convenient installation location.

　Of course, there are some convenient parts for the network environment at home.Anyway, the antenna performance is strong, and according to ASUS materials, most houses will be able to cover this one because it supports three -story/condominium 4LDK.I am grateful that you do not have to worry about the installation.

　In addition, the number of recommended usage of the connection device is up to 24 units, and it may be considered that all devices with a network connected rather than for games can be accepted.Since the basic specifications are high with 1GB of memory in the quad -core CPU, it is safe to connect to the gaming PC, smartphone, smart speaker, NAS, TV, recorder, etc.The screenshot has been posted later, but since the CPU load has stayed around 15 % during the load test, it will keep a state of room if data transfer to the NAS is added.

UBS 3.0 × 2, WAN × 1, LAN × 8 can be used as a substitute for hubs.Two of the LANs are adjusted for gaming, and there are 2 ports corresponding to linkage.All hubs are hardware NAT

There are also LEDs, WPS, and Wi-Fi on-off buttons.Games are limited to wired.

There is also a ROG series logo

　By the way, the fact that the body size has become so large is, of course, a reasonable reason.This is to ensure cooling performance for the height of the above base specifications.If the heat dissipation performance is low, the CPU will not be able to show its performance, and sudden network down is likely to occur.If it is a game only, it will endure even if it is not the "Rog Rapture GT-AC5300", but considering the recent device environment, few people will use routers only for games.

　Looking at the disassembly photos received from ASUS, there was a slightly bigger substrate than the mini-ITX motherboard.It is surprising that the body of the main body width is almost in the body, but it is not an overcrowded layout, but it seems that the layout with a margin ensures the cooling performance for the specifications.
