MSI have unveiled a new set of flagship WiFi 7 gaming routers to join its existing line-up. The new wireless routers, featuring the company's recent RadiX branding, have been announced during the Computex 2026 trade show in Taipei this week as part of MSI's 40 year anniversary celebrations.
The new networking kit, consisting of at least three routers showcased on the trade floor of the event so far, is led by the RadiX BE19000. This model offers 12-stream connections over WiFi 7 using MLO, across the 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz bands, and can reportedly deliver speeds of up to 19 Gbps simultaneously, with MLO helping to reduce latency, according to MSI.
This is a gaming router, so it's been fitted with features to suit persistent players. It has an integrated PCIe SSD slot, giving you what MSI is calling a "NAS Lite" experience for backups and file sharing. The router also comes with a quad-core CPU, rated at 1.8 GHz, for "high speed data processing."
Pictures from the floor show it features a translucent casing in a hexagon-shaped design, with eight individual antennas for maximum signal coverage, as well as two 10G and four 2.5G Ethernet ports.
A second router, the Radix BE9400, sits in the middle of the pack. This has a more traditional design for a router, clad in black and gray, albeit with some gaming flair and RGB lighting, along with four antennae. It's also WiFi 7-capable, using new 320 MHz channels and 4096-QAM signal modulation, available as part of the WiFi 7 spec, to increase speeds to up to 9.4 Gbps for 4K gaming and streaming. It has four 2.5G Ethernet ports, along with a 1.5 GHz processor.
MSI also showcased the RadiX BE3600. This dual-band router reportedly offers speeds of up to 3,600 Mbps and includes MLO support. It has one 2.5G and three 1G Ethernet ports for gigabit speeds, while the design is a little more faithful to traditional routers, with a rectangular-style design with four antennas.
MSI, which also released information about its other upcoming releases in a blog post coinciding with its appearance at Computex, hasn't yet announced pricing or release dates for these new routers. Meanwhile, the company's other Computex announcements include a new celebratory "Dragon Edition Draco Epic" version of its Titan 18 HX laptop, featuring an intricate chassis picturing a dragon, added with precision metal etching and an anodization process that applies the bold color scheme directly to the metal.
