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.

I have been through three other routers by all major brand makers, needing a specific function: bridge mode. This router's bridge is so simple to set up took less than 5 minutes and it connected and is working flawlessly. I am usually a Netgear user but they have decided to drop bridge mode in their less expensive routers for some insane reason..Asus to the rescue! I will definitely be leaning more toward this brand in the future.

Fast router with good hardware, but the firmware is frustrating. Be warned that the settings are very different from Wi-Fi 6 models. Streaming ad-supported services like Pluto TV (and similar) may not work out of the box due to hidden or poorly implemented network settings. One major issue: just because a feature says “Disabled” does NOT mean it’s actually disabled. You still have to click Disable and then hit Apply, even if it already appears off. This caused hours of troubleshooting. Once fixed, it works fine, but the UI is confusing and not user-friendly. Important settings are not available in the mobile app and must be accessed through a web browser, which is not clearly explained. This router is not plug-and-play unless you’re very tech-savvy or patient. Update: I've had this for over 30 days and the amount of times my settings have reverted is insane. It continuously reverts settings on it's own that allow ad supported sites. Even though it visually says a setting is disabled you have to click apply again and again and again. The settings not saving themselves is insane!!! Why does the apply button even exist if they just randomly revert. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For speed ⭐ For poorly implemented network settings and blocking ad supported streaming sites.

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.

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.

Not reliable for more then a few days. Had the darn thing for 1 week and had the reset the device twice already. It's not reliable enough for wifi service, buy a different model or brand is a better option. The WiFi 6 lasted trouble free for 2 years.

Wow Wow Wow This router is absolutely amazing. Although you won't be able to use the Merlin firmware on the BE58U, it is still a beast. Don't even need any 3rd party firmware to be honest because the ASUS router web GUI is all you need for most home network needs. I was able to set up a tunnel to my home network, and a network wide VPN from NordVPN I already had so far. I will definitely spend a few nights tinkering with my network lol. Plus, it looks cool, literally, built to dissipate air like a heatsink.

Good quality product with fast turnaround time from the supplier and Amazon.
