ASUS unveiled a range of new networking products at CES 2025, including the ASUS RT-BE58 Go travel router and ASUS 5G-Go mobile router – both recipients of the CES 2025 Innovation Award – alongside the ROG Rapture GT-BE19000AI gaming router and the ZenWiFi Outdoor series for home Wi-Fi setups.

New ASUS Wi-Fi 7 Routers

The ROG Rapture GT-BE19000AI is the iteration of the GT-BE19000 router released last year, this time with an NPU onboard coupled with CPU and MCU. This tri-core combination enables features like ROG AI Game Booster and Adaptive QoS 2.0 to reduce network latency by up to 34% for supported games, plus 46% power savings through its AI Power Saving mode that saves power based on usage patterns. Additional features include advanced ad and tracker blocking, network insights, and RF scanning.

On the hardware level, the GT-BE19000AI is virtually identical apart from two specs: the aforementioned NPU, and significantly larger flash and memory capacity. Other than that, you’re looking at tri-band Wi-Fi 7 support, 8 external antennas, 2.6GHz quad-core CPU, and the exact same chassis dimensions (though the new version is comes with a white color).

Next up is the RT-BE58 Go – this dual-band, Wi-Fi 7-capable mobile router supports three use cases: 4G/5G mobile tethering, public Wi-Fi hotspot (WISP), and conventional home router. It also supports VPN from up to 30 service providers and subscription-free Trend Micro security for online protection, while AiMesh compatibility allows for the router to be paired with other ASUS routers to provide wider signal coverage.

The ASUS 5G-Go mobile router features IP51 ingress protection, dual-band Wi-Fi 7, and 5G SA (standalone) supporting speeds up to 5.95Gbps. It includes Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) mode for extended internet usage, a 6,030mAh battery, plus VPN and Global Roaming support. I/O includes 2.5GbE LAN onboard as well as 10Gbps USB tethering.

Finally, the ZenWiFi BD5 Outdoor and BD4 Outdoor brings Wi-Fi 7 connectivity to outdoor environments, with dual-band support for speeds up to 5Gbps and 3.5Gbps respectively; both feature IP65 water and dust resistance, ESD and surge protection, and a wide operating temperature range to withstand harsh outdoor environments. The lineup also supports Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) for single-cable installations, and they also works with other AiMesh routers for improved seamless Wi-Fi coverage.
