Next-Level WiFi 7 Gaming
IEEE 802.11be
The ROG Strix GS-BE18000 redefines gaming connectivity with next-generation WiFi 7 (802.11be), featuring Multi-Link operation, expanded 320MHz channels, and pioneering 4K-QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) configuration. This powerful combination delivers up to 18,000Mbps tri-band speed, ensuring ultra-low latency, stability, and seamless performance across all your gaming devices. Support for AFC (Automated Frequency Coordination) also boosts 6GHz transmission power over longer distances. Enjoy next-level WiFi performance that gives you a competitive edge to dominate your game.
Unlock the full potential of 6GHz with AFC
AFC allows 6GHz to exceed LPI operation — boosting transmission power based on channel bandwidth. This significantly extends medium to long-range coverage and unlocks the full potential of 6GHz performance.
Ultra-wideband 320MHz channels
WiFi 7 introduces extremely wide 320MHz channels in the 6GHz band, doubling data transmission capacity*. This allows significantly more simultaneous transmissions at the highest possible speeds.
Ultimate Tri-Band MLO
The Multi-Link Operation (MLO) feature enables connections without buffering by intelligently combining and switching between the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands. The ROG Strix GS-BE18000 is built for the future of all WiFi 7 devices, regardless of the MLO mode they use*.
*Supported MLO modes and bands may vary depending on the device. Please refer to the device specifications for details.
Enhanced 4K-QAM Transmission
Compared to 1024-QAM with WiFi 6, 4096-QAM technology allows each signal to densely incorporate much larger amounts of data, improving transmission performance by up to 20%.
Break the Limits of Control
The ROG Strix GS-BE18000 takes your gaming to the next level with top performance and exceptional design. Based on ROG’s “form follows function” philosophy, it offers stunning speeds, seamless control, and unrivaled stability. With eight internal antennas and advanced cooling, it delivers extensive coverage in a compact form. Optimized RF technology and premium hardware ensure top performance for the most intense gaming sessions.
Built for Victory
The ROG Strix GS-BE18000 is powered by a triple-core 2.0GHz processor and 2GB DDR4 RAM, providing high-speed data processing that maximizes network performance, accelerates transfers, and enhances your gaming experience with optimized management and security. It features two advanced WiFi chipsets, one dedicated to the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands and one exclusively for the 6GHz band, ensuring fast and stable connections for all your devices. Additionally, EMI shielding minimizes interference for smoother and uninterrupted connections.
Relax, start the game
The "Slash PCB" design enables double-sided cooling, providing superior heat dissipation and ensuring network reliability. The optimized airflow uses aluminum heating plates with carbon nanocoating, combined with specially designed ventilation openings and heat distributors.
Give style to your game
The ROG Strix GS-BE18000 lets you elevate any atmosphere with customizable ROG Aura RGB lighting effects. Additionally, the iridescent finish on the ROG logo adds a cool touch of depth and elegance. With the ROG Aura lighting turned off, the surface creates a sleek and professional look for those who prefer a more understated aesthetic. Easily change your options through the web graphical interface or the ASUS Router mobile app.
Unmatched Flexibility for Gaming and Streaming
With one 2.5G WAN port and seven 2.5G LAN ports, the ROG Strix GS-BE18000 offers up to 20G lightning-fast wired connection speeds, ensuring maximum performance for multiplayer and other demanding tasks. Additionally, the robust network design provides stable, optimal connectivity even under heavy load.
Eight 2.5G Ports
This WAN/LAN port configuration can provide ultra-fast and stable connections for every need — from exceptionally smooth gaming and high-quality streaming to home studio setups and ultra-fast Ethernet backhaul. Enjoy speeds up to 2.5 times faster than gigabit Ethernet for seamless entertainment, efficient file transfers, and next-level network performance.
Dual Dedicated Gaming Ports
The two LAN ports dedicated to network gaming can prioritize this traffic for connected devices without any configuration required.
Connection via mobile 4G/5G
Stay connected at any time with convenient USB 4G LTE and 5G mobile tethering, even during internet outages or on the go.
Smart AiMesh with Artificial Intelligence Enhancement
Smart AiMesh intelligently utilizes the WiFi 7 multi-link operation, automatically aggregating or switching multiple bands for optimized performance and low latency.
