This BE58U router is my second ASUS router. My first, an AC66U has been repurposed as a mesh node on my new Asus mesh network. The BE58U is probably overkill for my needs - about 20 connected devices over 3 floors and 3200 SF home. No gaming but 2k Netflix and other streaming. I have no devices that currently use wifi 7 and since the AC66U node is only wifi 5 there's no dedicated backhaul channel. First, the BE58U by itself seems to have slightly less range across both 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz bands than the old AC66U router. If I was using this by itself, I'd be disappointed and probably return it. As a mesh router using the AC66U as a node, it's a whole different story. Coverage and speed across both bands is vastly improved and at least part of my home is future-proofed for wifi 7. Much better set-up than my old TP extender set-up. In a perfect world, I'd have a wifi 7 tri-band router and mesh node but cost is an issue. For now, a dual-band wifi 7 coupled with an older wifi 5 node gets the job done nicely with room for future upgrades (maybe a cheap Asus wifi 6 router on E-bay?) BTW, setup was easy, no random network drops or resets, unit runs relatively cool, no network incompatibilities or glitches. I've had none of the issues mentioned in any of the negative reviews - at least not yet and never had issues with my AC66U. The Asus software and phone app are easy to us and provide a lot of useful information. The network security tools are also very good. I consider this a solid value and the mesh network a real upgrade in house-wide coverage.

It came the next day, literally when I really needed it the most. I was back online faster than I could say " ASUS ". Its also very reliable, fast, and can handle way more devices than my older ASUS model router. I love this thing. Best item Ive ever bought from Amazon.

So far so good was an easy setup took 10 mins max. Configuring the settings isn't hard but parental settings do not work. You can't block URL with this or anything. I tried some of the DNS filtering settings for family they have built on it blocks certain devices from even connecting so I was forced to turn off. You will have to look up guides and hopefully they work if you do want clean browsing it blocks websites that it shouldn't and you have to pay monthly for configuring access. The coverage/range has been good all devices connect fine through my whole house on wifi so 1200sqft or so. You can choose to set two different wifi channles for 2.4 and 6 incase some aren't compatible. Quality seems fine I recommend but not if you're looking for a simple plug up set some simple settings for safe family surfing.

UPDATE 02.26.2026 Received an email from the Service Department for ASUS. The Representative was very helpful and would get back to me within 2 days. Looking much more promising! UPDATE 02.25.2026 Received this email: Reservation team is currently allocating a possible replacement. You should receive the authorization hold amount form once a replacement unit was allocated. Kindly allow our reservation team 2-5 business days for allocating a model for your replacement. Please be advised that the replacement turnaround time overall is 7-10 business days. Rest assured that we check for updates with the facility daily and we will let you know once there is a model allocated. If you have any questions please feel free to chat with us. I tried the chat link to get more information on what they are sending me and it goes to "We can’t connect to the server at icr-am.asus.com." UPDATE 02.24.2026 Received a phone message from level 2 person. After several disconnects trying to reach someone at the phone number provide on the message I was able to get through. The level 2 person stated that she that there are no replacement units available (factory re-manufactured units. They do NOT replace the unit with new one). She now has escalated the issue to the "Replenishment Department". She stated I will hear from them in another 2 days. After another 22 minutes on the phone the wait continues..... OP: Installed unit Jan 20, 2026. Feb 22. 2026 the LAN ports fail to communicate with the internet. Firmware updated. LAN cables swapped with known good ones. WiFi works fine. Case opened today after a 35 minute call. IF replacement was available it would be 14 business days before I received it AFTER I send the faulry unit first. However, no replacement unit is available. I was told I would be notified in 2 business days with an update as to what can be done to resolve this issue..... Is this how ASUS normally handles their warranty issues?

solid construction, good range , and asus quality. I have bought several Asus routers over the years , and this one is no different . Not the easiest to set up seeing that IP6 protocol is disabled my default Tried other routers but support updates usually end it about a year. Not so with Asus

Coming from 5 years of owning Nighthawk router this is such a sweet upgrade. If you are looking for a budget friendly, updated tech, ease of set up and use, security features, this one is for you. I am not a gamer and I have just a standard internet service tier. What I want is to be able to put all my nome smart devices on a different network than my main network for our laptops and computers. This one has its own IOT network. If you want a FREE firewall network protection, this one has it and it's free. This router meets all my needs with above expectations. Speed, Security and Price. ITS A KEEPER!

I had a TP link for years, tried to buy another one, but I just couldn’t get it working. This one offers a lot better value, much better, security features, much more choices, the software is really good, you can tweak everything you want. It’s been rock steady for a year. I love it.

Set up went fine and internet worked well for about three hours but then dropped and wouldn't restart despite multiple power cycling and sequencing of component starts. Reinstalled a few times and had similar behavior (anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours of successful internet connection and then failure). Checked with service provider and they always reported no issues on their end, but did say they couldn't guarantee compatibility with any specific router except a product from a certain jungle-namesake internet based shopping platform, so I returned this product. While more expensive and I hate to be shoe-horned into purchasing a specific brand/product when there should be an equal playing-field for device manufacturers agnostic of the Internet provider the new device from the other manufacturer works without dropping the connection, from the very first install, so that's the solution I am sticking with
