ASUS has extended its ProArt lineup with two new networking solutions tailored for professional creators, addressing the growing demand for stable, high-speed connectivity in modern studios.
The ProArt Router PRT-BE5000 and ProArt Switch PQG-U1080 integrate dual-band Wi-Fi 7 technology, delivering peak throughput of up to 5000 Mbps with Multi-Link Operation (MLO) support. This marks a significant leap in wireless performance for creator environments where seamless data transfer and cloud collaboration are critical.
The router’s adaptive QoE feature intelligently prioritizes creative traffic, ensuring smooth operation even when multiple high-bandwidth applications run simultaneously. It also supports dual 2.5G WAN/LAN connections, providing flexibility for wired setups while maintaining robust wireless performance. Additionally, ASUS Smart Home Master software enables network segmentation through dedicated SSIDs, simplifying management for both studio and personal devices.
The ProArt Switch PQG-U1080 complements the router by offering eight 2.5G RJ45 ports and two 10G SFP+ ports, catering to high-speed wired connections for workstations, NAS systems, and other bandwidth-intensive hardware. Its versatile mounting options—including desktop placement, table-leg attachment, and magnetic fixing—allow for clean integration into various studio layouts.
Together, these devices form a cohesive networking solution that enhances stability and scalability in creator workflows. The combination of Wi-Fi 7’s high throughput, intelligent traffic prioritization, and multi-gigabit wired expansion addresses the needs of professionals working with multiple devices, from workstations to cloud-based collaboration tools.
For creators relying on high-performance hardware like the RTX 5090 or demanding applications that require consistent, low-latency connections, this new ecosystem provides a more integrated and future-proof approach. While specific availability details have not been disclosed, these products represent ASUS’s commitment to expanding its ProArt family beyond displays and GPUs into networking infrastructure.
Looking ahead, the focus will be on how widely these solutions can be adopted in professional studios, particularly as Wi-Fi 7 adoption grows. For now, creators with high-bandwidth demands will see immediate benefits from the improved traffic management and wired expansion capabilities, making them a practical addition to any modern studio setup.
