ASUS has officially launched three new WiFi 7 routers in the Philippines—the ROG Strix GS-BE18000, ROG Strix GS-BE7200X, and ASUS RT-BE50—redefining performance for gaming, home networking, and smart home ecosystems.
ROG Strix GS Series: Elite Gaming Routers for Unmatched Performance
Designed for fast-paced gaming environments, the ROG Strix GS-BE18000 and GS-BE7200X combine cutting-edge WiFi 7 technology with exclusive ASUS gaming features to deliver ultra-low latency, high-speed throughput, and optimized connectivity.
The ROG Strix GS-BE18000 leads the charge, supporting the latest WiFi 7 (802.11be) standard with wireless speeds of up to 18,000Mbps and 320MHz channels, setting a new benchmark for gaming routers. It features a 2.0GHz quad-core CPU, 2GB DDR4 RAM, and eight internal antennas with copper tubing and independent Front-End Modules (FEMs), delivering stable performance across up to 3,300 square feet. The router is also equipped with triple-level game acceleration, dedicated gaming ports, and customizable ASUS Aura RGB lighting.
For those seeking powerful dual-band performance, the ROG Strix GS-BE7200X offers up to 7,200Mbps wireless throughput using 160MHz channels. With 4x10G LAN ports, a 10G WAN port, and a refined chipset combination, it is designed for high-bandwidth users and multi-device households.
ASUS RT-BE50: The Future of Home Networking
The ASUS RT-BE50 brings WiFi 7 to a wider audience, delivering up to 3,600Mbps wireless speed and 2.5Gbps wired connectivity. Ideal for smart homes, it supports 160MHz bandwidth, 4K QAM, and seamless multi-device operation. The router integrates ASUS-exclusive security features and robust parental controls, offering an intuitive and secure networking experience for families.
With AI-boosted Smart AiMesh, external antennas, and support for ASUS’ advanced networking features like IoT Network, the RT-BE50 is designed to safeguard networks and ensure uninterrupted connectivity for everything from 8K streaming and HDR gaming to cloud computing and remote work.
WiFi 7: Why It’s Time to Upgrade
While WiFi 6 may seem fast enough, most routers in that category are still limited by 1G WAN ports, resulting in bottlenecks. WiFi 7 isn’t just faster—it’s smarter. With up to 2.4X the speed of WiFi 6E, improved stability, and Multi-Link Operation (MLO) for smoother connections, it’s built for today’s tech-heavy households.
Most flagship devices—including recent models of iPhone, Google Pixel, Samsung Galaxy, and the upcoming PlayStation 5 Pro—already support WiFi 7. Whether you’re streaming 8K video, gaming online, or using AR/VR headsets, the new ASUS routers are ready to deliver.
Smart Home Master and Network Control
Beyond raw speed, ASUS enhances usability and security. The ROG Strix GS-BE18000 features Smart Home Master technology for instant SSID customization and simplified network management through the ASUS Router app or web interface. Its MLO Network feature allows users to connect MLO-supporting devices to a dedicated SSID for compatibility and improved performance. Additionally, AiProtection Pro, one-tap Security Scan, and Safe Browsing protect against evolving cyber threats.
