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 unlocks 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%.
