"There's no guarantee the ROG NeoCore will actually launch -- at least not in its current form. Its icosahedron shape is visually striking. I've never seen a router look anything remotely like this. It's hard for me to imagine something like this fitting neatly on a side table or tucked behind the TV next to the modem. I suspect Asus will opt for a more practical, boxy design"
"Concrete details about the router are limited. Asus hasn't shared the chipset the router uses, the number of bands it supports, or the features it might include. However, if you look at the image above, you can see what appear to be three Ethernet ports, heat vents, and an input for the power adapter. What we do know is that Asus plans on releasing its first Wi-Fi 8 home routers later this year."
Wi‑Fi 8 is approaching and Asus previewed the ROG NeoCore at CES 2026 as a proof-of-concept Wi‑Fi 8 router. The NeoCore uses a striking icosahedron 20-sided shape and includes a hook for wall mounting, though Asus may adopt a more conventional boxy design for production. Concrete specifications remain limited: the chipset, number of bands, and feature set are unrevealed. Visuals suggest three Ethernet ports, heat vents, and a power-adapter input. Asus emphasizes that Wi‑Fi 8 will improve wireless stability and plans to release its first Wi‑Fi 8 home routers later in 2026.
