Perhaps I am not a serious gamer, or maybe I am not a huge fan of online gaming. As far as the latter is concerned, I do not need to have company to have fun. However, if you are huge on online gaming, well, then you need a very reliable router, perhaps one that is made for gaming, such as the new ASUS ROG Rapture GT-BE19000AI AI Gaming Router.
Billed as the world’s first AI gaming router, the GT-BE19000AI boasts dual-chip intelligence with a dedicated AI core, integrated Docker support, AI-powered game acceleration, and WiFi 7. This router isn’t just “for gaming”; it’s kind of like a neural network, but happens to do WiFi, too.
Under the hood, it packs a quad-core CPU, 4 GB of DDR4 RAM, and 32 GB of onboard storage — because nothing says “serious about online play” like a router that could double as your backup workstation. The AI core takes care of optimizing traffic while AI Game Boost learns your gaming patterns and cuts latency by up to 34 percent, so even your most impulsive rage quits might be due to skill and not lag.
And yes, it runs Docker. That means your router can now host automation tools, ad blockers, or even lightweight AI tasks without needing another device. Meanwhile, WiFi Insight constantly monitors interference across all channels to keep your connection steady, while WiFi 7 and dual 10G Ethernet ports ensure you’ll always have more bandwidth than your friends.
All that power is wrapped in a 2 kg, aggressively cooled chassis with a 30% thicker aluminum plate and nanocarbon coating — because even your router needs thermal management when it’s this smart.
The ASUS ROG Rapture GT-BE19000AI AI Gaming Router will be available soon, with an ASUS estore price of US$899.99.
