SYDNEY, Australia, November 4, 2025 — ASUS Republic of Gamers today announced the ROG Rapture GT-BE19000AI, the world’s first AI router. Combining breakthrough intelligence, platform-level flexibility, and next-generation performance, it is the ideal solution in an era where gaming, streaming, and smart home devices demand more from networks. The GT-BE19000AI delivers intelligence, automation, and reliability.
Built-in neural processing unit
The ROG Rapture GT-BE19000AI is the first router equipped with a built-in AI core. The AI core is complemented with a quad-core CPU, 4GB of DDR4, and 32GB of onboard storage. Unlike conventional routers that rely solely on the CPU, the GT-BE19000AI offers an integrated system that provides dedicated compute resources for Docker apps and related workloads.
Docker Engine integration
The GT-BE19000AI includes an integrated Docker Engine with CLI and Compose support, backed by a built-in AI board and 32GB of onboard storage for applications. It is the first router to run containerised applications natively. This opens new possibilities for edge computing, enabling advanced users to deploy automation, AI services, or IoT management directly on the router without the need for a separate PC or server. Users can consolidate devices and streamline smart home management. Whether running home assistants to AI-powered video recognition with Frigate, or using AdGuard as a DNS server to filter ads and protect family members online, this router doubles as a central hub for automation and smart services that traditional routers cannot provide. It can deliver unmatched flexibility for gamers, creators, and smart home enthusiasts, while also enhancing safety and browsing security.
WiFi Insight
WiFi Insight is a feature that automatically scans continuously for both WiFi and non-WiFi interference across all channels and provides clear, visualised reports on network health. This makes it easy to identify and address sources of interference. This ASUS-exclusive feature goes beyond simple channel scanning, offering full-spectrum analysis and automated channel switching. This provides crucial information for users while helping control hidden interference sources. The automated detection and optimisation also helps ensure stable connections in congested environments.
AI game boost
ROG pioneered triple-level game acceleration in 2017 with the launch of the GT-AC5300. The GT-BE19000AI continues this legacy and also integrates device detection, adaptive QoE for intelligent traffic prioritisation, and GTNet routing—which are now enhanced with AI algorithms for real-time optimisation. With AI intervention, prioritisation becomes more accurate and immediate, based on actual application behaviour, eliminating the need for manual adjustments. During internal testing, AI Game Boost reduced latency by up to 34%. These technologies provide smoother online gaming, streaming, and hosting experiences.
WiFi 7 for ultimate bandwidth
Tri-band WiFi 7 with 320MHz channels and 4096-QAM delivers up to 19Gbps wireless speeds. Meanwhile, dual 10G Ethernet ports and four 2.5G Ethernet ports provide a total wired capacity of up to 31Gbps. This router also supports 20Gbps link aggregation for high-demand scenarios. WiFi 7 expands network efficiency and capacity, while the advanced wired design ensures that the router can handle extreme data demands such as gaming, streaming, and content creation.
Feature-packed performance
The ROG Rapture GT-BE19000AI features advanced cooling with a 30% thicker aluminium plate and nanocarbon coating, boosting heat dissipation by 18%, compared to the ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000. The AI board also features a heatsink and thermal pads to improve cooling and help ensure stable AI performance. There is also an energy saving mode for improved efficiency.
The ROG Rapture GT-BE19000AI also features Guest Network Pro. This enhanced version of Guest Network empowers users to create up to five SSIDs, supporting gaming, IoT, VPN, and guest access. It enables different access permissions, bandwidth management, and content filtering for each network, and it even includes a dedicated network for IoT devices. This provides users with an efficient, secure, and easy-to-manage networking solution. Meanwhile, the Client Insight feature monitors the connection status of devices on the network.
Meanwhile, AiProtection is a security feature that incorporates state-of-the-art defences that give users enterprise-level security in the home. AiProtection constantly monitors the security and safety of a home network for total peace of mind, with built-in ad and tracker blocking for safer browsing.
