Our Verdict

ASUS ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro

NETGEAR Nighthawk RS300

The ASUS ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro is a better Wi-Fi 7 router than the NETGEAR Nighthawk RS300. It delivers superior speed and range performance, offers more and faster network ports for wired networking, and also offers mesh network expandability. However, the ASUS is a large unit with an aggressive style; the NETGEAR is physically smaller and can be wall-mounted by purchasing an additional bracket.
