Our Verdict

ASUS ROG Strix GS-BE18000

GL.iNet Flint 3 (GL-BE9300)

The GL.iNet Flint 3 (GL-BE9300) and the ASUS ROG Strix GS-BE18000 are tri-band Wi-Fi 7 routers. While they both deliver similar short-range performance, the ASUS has better range, and also supports Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC) in some regions, a feature that can increase the power output, and thereby the range of the 6GHz band. The ASUS also has eight 2.5Gbps Ethernet ports compared to the GL.iNet's five.
