BE58U is a solid router and great as a mesh component
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.

Works good for connection and speed the settings for certain things don’t.
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.

Solid Wi‑Fi 6 Router, but Advanced Settings Don’t Behave as Expected
The RT‑AX3000S delivers good overall performance for a Wi‑Fi 6 router in this price range. Throughput on the 5 GHz band is strong, latency is stable, and coverage is more than adequate for a typical home. For general use — streaming, browsing, and Wi‑Fi calling — it performs reliably.Where things get interesting is in the “Professional” settings. Several options that appear to be per‑band controls (Airtime Fairness, MU‑MIMO, and Xtra Range 2.0) actually behave as global toggles. Changing them on the 5 GHz page also changes them on the 2.4 GHz page, even though the interface presents them as independent. This doesn’t affect basic users, but anyone tuning each band for different device classes (IoT on 2.4 GHz, modern clients on 5 GHz) should be aware of this behavior.Aside from that quirk, the router is stable, offers good Wi‑Fi 6 performance, and represents solid value. Just expect a few surprises if you plan to dive into the advanced configuration.

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