Frequently asked questions

• What is Wi‑Fi 7 and what does 802.11be mean for the GT‑BE98 Pro? Wi‑Fi 7, defined by the 802.11be standard, brings higher throughput, lower latency, and better efficiency for multi‑device environments. The GT‑BE98 Pro leverages these capabilities with quad‑band design and dual 6 GHz bands to maximize performance for gaming, streaming, and work in busy homes.
• Is this router backward compatible with older Wi‑Fi devices? Yes. The GT‑BE98 Pro supports legacy standards (a/b/g/n/ac/ax), so older devices can connect while you take advantage of the latest Wi‑Fi 7 features on supported devices.
• How many 10 Gbps ports does it have, and can I use them simultaneously? The router includes two 10 Gbps Ethernet ports, which can be used for high‑speed WAN connections, fast wired backhaul, or multi‑gig connections to devices. They can be used concurrently for maximum throughput, depending on your network configuration.
• Can I expand coverage with other ASUS routers? Absolutely. The GT‑BE98 Pro supports ASUS AiMesh, allowing you to pair it with compatible ASUS routers or extenders to create a seamless mesh network that blankets your entire home in reliable wireless coverage.
• What security and parental controls are included? AiProtection Pro provides network‑level protection against threats, along with WPA3 encryption, guest networks, and configurable parental controls to manage access and content for family devices.
• What devices benefit most from Wi‑Fi 7 and dual 6 GHz bands? Devices that handle intense bandwidth or low latency requirements—such as gaming consoles, high‑end gaming PCs, professional workstations, 4K/8K streaming boxes, and large media servers—benefit the most, because dual 6 GHz bands help distribute traffic and minimize interference across the network.
