The ASUS ROG Strix GS-BE18000 operates using the Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) standard across three frequency bands: 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz. This tri-band architecture provides distinct channels for device allocation and load balancing requirements. The 6 GHz band offers the highest throughput capacity, delivering data transfer rates up to 11529 Mbps, while the 5 GHz band operates at up to 5764 Mbps. The unit utilizes eight internal antennas combined with beamforming and MU-MIMO technology to stabilize signal delivery across multiple simultaneous connections.

Wired connectivity on this model supports high-speed networking, featuring multiple 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports for both WAN ingress and LAN egress connections. Processing power is handled by a quad-core 2.0 GHz integrated processor, supported by 2048 MB of internal memory, facilitating routing operations and traffic management for concurrent devices. Security functions include WPA3 encryption, an integrated SPI firewall, and the AiProtection Pro suite, which provides malicious site blocking and two-way intrusion prevention capabilities.
