FAQ :

Q1:  Is ROG First a VPN ?    
A1:  No, ROG First has a direct connection between an Asus ROG router and a ROG PC so any PC game selected can boost and run smoothly.

Q2:  How does the priority setting in ROG First differ from the Game Type section in GameFirst?     
A2:  Game Type in the GameFirst application only supports the PC. Once the PC loses the signal, it can no longer assist.    
       However, for ROG First, its goal is to handle such situations anywhere with a network. Currently, GameFirst only allows the user to set game boost mode on the router without needing to log in to the router interface.

Q3:  Is there any restriction in the Router? Does every router support ROG First?    
A3:  Officially, this software only supports ROG routers, but it will soon support all current router models that are still on the market. Older routers won't work.    
      (Supports the ROG GameFirst API use : The APIs supports all models of RT & GT series if the router firmware version is 3.0.0.4.380 or later.)

Q4:  Does ROG Router need to set up anything else to support ROG FIRST?    
A4:  The ROG router still needs to be set up by the end user with the setting procedures at the first login. Once completed, the API can be used.
