How do I update the router's firmware?

Log in to the router's web interface, go to the administration or firmware update section, and follow the on-screen instructions to check for and install the latest firmware.

What is AiMesh?

AiMesh is an ASUS technology that allows you to create a whole-home mesh WiFi system by connecting multiple compatible ASUS routers.

How do I set up a guest network?

In the router's web interface, go to the wireless settings or guest network section and configure the guest network settings, including the network name (SSID) and password.

What is the warranty period for the ASUS ROG Rapture GT-BE98?

The warranty period is typically two years, but it's best to consult the product documentation or the ASUS website for the most accurate information.

How do I reset the router to factory settings?

What is QoS, and how does it help?

QoS (Quality of Service) allows you to prioritize network traffic, ensuring that specific applications or devices receive the necessary bandwidth. This can improve the performance of online gaming, video streaming, and other bandwidth-intensive activities.

Troubleshooting

Cannot connect to the internet

Check the connection between the router and the modem. Ensure that the modem is powered on and functioning correctly. Restart both the modem and the router. Verify your internet connection settings in the router's web interface.

Slow WiFi speeds

Ensure that your devices are within range of the router. Minimize obstructions between the router and your devices. Change the WiFi channel in the router's web interface to reduce interference. Update the router's firmware.

WiFi network is not visible

Make sure that the WiFi is enabled in the router's web interface. Check the SSID broadcast setting. Restart the router and try again.
