ASUS RT-BE58U WiFi 7 Router - Dual-WAN, 3.6 Gbps, Mesh + VPN Compatible

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. A

Zero complaints. My biggest make or break while shopping for an upgrade was whether or not I was allowed to administrate this device or if some corporation shoehorned themselves as a pseudo administrator (Lookin at you Netgear) This router does what a router should do without requiring some sort of an account or other encrappified steal yo data scheme just to access basic functionality.-You can either configure it through an app or do it the old fashioned way through a browser whatever you prefer!-There is no external account requirement just to access the config page (Seriously screw you Netg

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

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

I use a SuperBox which loves to suck as much internet bandwidth you give it. This substantially degraded my internet use by causing lots of pauses. But now, with my wonderful ASUS router, I can now limit my internet bandwidth going into and coming out of my SuperBox. Basically I'm choking my SuperBox and making it behave. :) But this robust router also has lots of other advanced features to help you monitor ALL your devices, helping you understand which use the most bandwidth. I love this unit!

I am definitely unhappy with how Amazon Resale handled this product. I ordered two of this WiFi router, intending one for my own use and one as a gift. I opened one of the boxes to install my own and make the setup of the gift easier. I will be returning the unopened box,First of all, the product description said "Used - Mint". I understand that the box had been opened and that the product may well have been at least tried out. When I opened the box I found most of what I expected, but the boxed had been 'repacked' by just tossing the router into the box with only the liner packing in place. T

Just replaced my old router with this, it’s fantastic! Great security features, Dual wan for those working from home who may need a back up source of internet connectivity. Very easy to set up.

If you're replacing an older ASUS router, this is a dream. ASUS really puts a lot of work into their firm/software.Using the mobile app for setup was seamless. All I needed to do was plug in this new one, hit "setup new router" on the app, once discovered it asked if I wanted to import SSID & password settings from my old router (said yes), then waited for setup to complete. Unplugged my old RT-AC68U & BAM!!! - everything was already up and running.For people like me, with a ton of connected devices (Climate Control, Irrigation, Security Cameras, etc.), having an option to import settings whil
