ROG Strix GS-BE18000 - Slash Through The Game
The ROG Strix GS-BE18000 is the ultimate gaming router, built for those who demand perfection. Blazing-fast speeds up to 18,000Mbps powered by cutting-edge tri-band WiFi 7 and 4x4 MIMO, plus a combined 20G wired capacity, ensure seamless, low-latency gaming across all platforms. The ROG- exclusive Gaming Network also brings groundbreaking one-tap SSID game acceleration, while Triple-Level Network Security secures and simplifies your connected world.
Next-Level WiFi 7 Gaming
The ROG Strix GS-BE18000 redefines gaming connectivity with next-generation WiFi 7 (802.11be), featuring Multi-Link Operation, expanded 320MHz channels and cutting-edge 4K-QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation). This powerful combination provides up to 18,000Mbps of tri-band speed, ensuring ultra-low latency, stability and seamless performance across all your gaming devices. Support for AFC (Automated Frequency Coordination) also enhances 6GHz transmission power over longer distances Experience next-level WiFi performance that gives you a competitive edge to dominate the game.
Unlock the Full Potential of 6GHz with AFC
AFC enables 6GHz to go beyond LPI mode — boosting transmission power based on channel bandwidth. This significantly extends mid-to-long range coverage and unlocking the full potential of 6GHz performance.
Ultrawide 320MHz Channels
WiFi 7 introduces ultrawide 320MHz channels in the 6GHz band, doubling data transmission capacity*. This allows for significantly more simultaneous transmissions at the fastest-possible speeds.
Ultimate Tri-Band MLO
Multi-Link Operation (MLO) enables buffering-free connections by intelligently combining and switching between the 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz bands. And the ROG Strix GS-BE18000 is built for the future of all WiFi 7 devices, regardless of the MLO mode they use.
Enhanced 4K-QAM Transfer
Compared to 1024-QAM with WiFi 6, 4096-QAM technology allows each signal to densely incorporate larger amounts of data, improving transmission efficiency by up to 20%.
Slash the Limits of Control
The ROG Strix GS-BE18000 takes your gaming to the next level with cutting-edge performance and exceptional design. Built on ROG’s “form follows function” philosophy, it delivers blazing speeds, seamless control and unmatched stability. With eight internal antennas and advanced cooling, it offers expansive coverage in a compact form. Optimized RF technology and premium hardware ensure peak performance for your most intense gaming sessions.
Built for Victory

It features two advanced WiFi chipsets, one dedicated to the 2.4GHz and 5GHz band and one exclusively for the 6GHz band, ensuring fast and stable connections across all your devices. Additionally, EMI shielding minimizes interference for smoother and uninterrupted connections.Conquer Every Corner
The ROG Strix GS-BE18000 features eight compact internal antennas, six of which use cutting-edge copper tube technology, powered by ten high-power front-end modules (FEMs), providing coverage of up to 3,300 sq. ft.
Chill Out, Game On
The “Slash PCB” design enables dual-side cooling, delivering superior heat dissipation and ensuring network reliability. The optimized airflow utilizes carbon-nano-coated aluminum heat plates, paired with custom-designed vents and heat spreaders.
Light Up Your Game In Style
The ROG Strix GS-BE18000 lets you rock any vibe with customizable ROG Aura RGB lighting effects. Plus, the iridescent finish on the ROG logo adds a cool touch of depth and sophistication. With the ROG Aura lighting off, the surface establishes a sleek and professional look for those who prefer a more subtle aesthetic. Easily tweak your choices through the graphical web interface or ASUS Router mobile app.
Unmatched Versatility for Gaming and Streaming
