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.

Good wifi 7 router with good coverage for the price. Easy setup great speed and everything connected with no issues.

Great options and management control. But that every time I change a setting the router refreshes the entire WiFi network and every connected device on every WiFi network comes offline for 4-5 minutes and then comes back online. Every setting you change every time you change it. Which is annoying in general but particularly annoying with security camera or other finicky systems. It is maddening. I would NOT buy again.

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.

Works for what is intended. Speed is consistent, the app is easy to navigate. This router replaced an Orbi from 2019. I may end up adding a node outside. I like the idea of a router based VPN. I have yet to subscribe to a VPN service yet but I might.

Works great. Easy setup. Has an app for your phone to control everything in the router. Distance is a little weak. Look into getting another Asus router to extend the wireless range with Air-Mesh.

Fast, decent range, so many options for security/control over your network. Pricey but a great value. I have 1gbps speed and get around 700mbps download on wireless pretty consistently throughout my home. And hardwired to the first ethernet port(the one rated up to 1gbps) I consistently pull around 900mbps.

Very user friendly right out of the box. Basic setup is easy and straightforward. For advanced users there are some nice features, but there are also some limitations. As an example, I wanted to create separate vlans with specific address spaces. The router decides this for you. Not a big deal, but not as flexible as I had hoped. Still, there is a lot of functionality in an affordable router.

Good router, Fast, good app, IoT and Guest networks, Mesh, WPA2 and WPA3.

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