Asus has unveiled the ROG Strix GS-BE7200, a dual-band WiFi 7 gaming router targeting users requiring high-speed wireless and wired connectivity.
The routergive me operates on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands using the WiFi 7 802.11be standard, delivering 1,376 Mbps and 5,764 Mbps respectively. Multi-Link Operation and 4096-QAM enable combined wireless throughput of 7.2 Gbps. The device lacks 6 GHz band support but incorporates Beamforming, OFDMA, and MU-MIMO for improved efficiency.
Six internal antennas with enhanced 5 GHz long-range tuning provide up to 15 percent better throughput at extended distances compared to standard 5 GHz 4T4R routers, according to Asus.
Five 2.5 Gbps Ethernet ports deliver 12.5 Gbps total wired capacity: one WAN port for modem connection and four LAN ports for connected devices. Two LAN ports function as dedicated gaming ports with traffic prioritization. The 2.5 Gbps port speed may limit performance with high-end NAS systems using fast SSD storage.
The GS-BE7200 supports multiple network configurations, including guest networks and isolated IoT subnetworks. Smart Home Master streamlines IoT device setup and VPN subnetwork creation. Security includes AiProtection’s triple-layer protection, parental controls, and pre-installed VPN support for network-wide traffic encryption.
Gaming-specific features include ROG’s proprietary Gaming Network with integrated game acceleration. WiFi 7-enhanced AiMesh compatibility allows mesh network expansion with other Asus routers.
The router features ROG’s signature gaming aesthetic with bold markings and integrated RGB lighting. Users can manage the device through a web interface or companion mobile application. Asus has not disclosed pricing or release dates for the ROG Strix GS-BE7200.
