ASUS ROG Magic Box X Launches as a Powerful Wi-Fi 7 Router for Gamers

ASUS has started taking pre-orders for a new high-end router called the ROG Magic Box X. It’s built for gamers and power users who want fast, stable internet across their entire home. With support for the latest Wi-Fi 7 standard and a bold gaming look, the router is aimed at people who don’t want to deal with lag or slowdowns. In China, it’s priced at 2,199 RMB.

The ROG Magic Box X runs on Wi-Fi 7, which is a big step up from older Wi-Fi standards. On the 5GHz band, it can reach speeds of up to 5,764Mbps. When both the 5GHz and 2.4GHz bands work together using Multi-Link Operation, total speeds can go as high as 7,200Mbps.

The router also supports 4K QAM technology. In simple terms, this lets it send more data in the same amount of time. Wi-Fi 6 does not come with this tech. This is an advantage for users of this device. It will do a couple of things. It will be more efficient and smoother. You will notice this more when many devices are connected at the same time. 

It will also make it possible to stream, game, and download simultaneously. You don't find this kind of capacity in everyday devices. 

Inside, the Magic Box X uses a 1.8GHz processor along with 1GB of DDR4 memory. This setup helps the router manage fast speeds and lots of connected devices without slowing down. ASUS also added MediaTek’s Filogic AI system.

This AI feature quietly monitors your Wi-Fi and makes smart tweaks to avoid interference and keep latency low, giving gamers smoother gameplay with fewer lag spikes during online matches.

The router looks every bit like a gaming product. It has sharp lines and an aggressive design, with the ROG “Eye of the Republic” logo on the front. The logo supports ARGB lighting, so users can customise how it looks. Inside the body, eight antennas are placed at different angles to help spread the signal evenly around the house.

On the back, ASUS includes a wide range of ports. There’s a 10Gbps WAN port for very fast internet plans, a 2.5Gbps gaming port for priority devices, and four standard Gigabit LAN ports. It also supports LAN aggregation for faster wired connections.

The Magic Box X can detect other ROG devices on the network and automatically give them priority, cutting lag by up to 47%. It also includes optimisations for mobile and console gaming.

The ASUS ROG Magic Box X is now available for pre-order on JD.com. It offers gamers a future-ready router built for speed, stability, and style.
