1.4 Positioning your router
For the best wireless signal transmission between the wireless router and the network devices connected to it, ensure that you:
•Place the wireless router in a centralized area for a maximum wireless coverage for the network devices.
•Keep the device away from metal obstructions and away from direct sunlight.
•Keep the device away from 802.11g or 20MHz onlyWi-Fi devices, 2.4GHz computer peripherals, Bluetooth devices, cordless phones, transformers, heavy-duty motors, fluorescent lights, microwave ovens, refrigerators, and other industrial equipment to prevent signal interference or loss.
•Always update to the latest firmware.Visit the ASUS website at http://www.asus.com to get the latest firmware updates.
•To ensure the best wireless signal,orient the four detachable antennas as shown in the drawing below.
10
1.5 Setup Requirements
To set up your wireless network, you need a computer that meets the following system requirements:
•Ethernet RJ-45 (LAN) port (10Base-T/100Base-
TX/1000BaseTX)
•IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax wireless capability
•An installedTCP/IP service
•Web browser such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, or
Google Chrome
NOTES:
•If your computer does not have built-in wireless capabilities, you may install an IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax WLAN adapter to your computer to connect to the network.
•With its triple band technology, your wireless router supports
2.4GHz, 5GHz-1 and 5GHz-2 wireless signals simultaneously. This allows you to do Internet-related activities such as Internet surfing or reading/writing e-mail messages using the 2.4GHz band while simultaneously streaming high-definition audio/video files such as movies or music using the 5GHz band.
•Some IEEE 802.11n devices that you want to connect to your network may or may not support 5GHz band. Refer to the device's manual for specifications.
•The Ethernet RJ-45 cables that will be used to connect the network devices should not exceed 100 meters.
IMPORTANT!
•Some wireless adapters might have connectivity issues to
802.11ax WiFi APs.
•If you’re experiencing such issue, please ensure you update the driver to the latest version. Check your manufacturer's official support site where software drivers, updates, and other related information can be obtained.

3.2 Dash Board
Dash Board allows you to monitor the real-time traffic for your networking environment and analyze the real-time network ping and ping deviation.
Network ping refers to online game experiences. Higher ping means higher latency for real-time games. For most online games, network ping that is less than 99 ms is considered good quality. If network ping is less than 150 ms, the quality is acceptable. Generally, if network ping is more than 150 ms, it is hard to play game smoothly.
Ping deviation is also highly related with online game experiences. With higher ping deviation, it is much easier causing possible toggle when playing online game. There is no baseline for ping deviation. However, lower ping deviation is better.
21
•Game Radar: Game Radar from Dashboard could give you a quick look about ping time for specific game server.
22
•Aura RGB: Allows users to define or turn on/off the Aura RGB from Dashboard. You can setup any color and choose either of the five lighting patterns.
•Boost Key: ROG Rapture gaming router supports Boost Key and allows users to define the functions of Boost Key from Dashboard.
•LED on/off
•DFS channel on/off
•Aura RGB on/off
•Game Boost: enable/disable prioritizing the gaming packet.
