Asus RT-BE58U v1 Wireless Router Wi-Fi 7 With 4 Ports

Key features:

  • Wi-Fi Frequency: Dual Band
  • Wi-Fi Generation: Wi‑Fi 7
  • Maximum LAN Speed: 3600 Mbps
See full description

  • Maximum Wireless Speed

    Theoretical maximum speed with a wirelessly connected device primarily used for marketing purposes. The speed of each connected device depends on factors such as distance, obstacles, the number of other devices connected, the number of other networks in the same area, etc.

  • Ethernet Ports

    The number of ethernet ports that the device has for direct wired device connections. Most routers offer 4 ports.

  • Generation

    The Wi-Fi generation is a more user-friendly term for networking standards that affect maximum Wi-Fi speed, distance, sensitivity to obstacles, etc.

    Wi‑Fi 7

    Same as Wi-Fi 6, with the ability to use additional frequencies at 6Ghz. For most users, there is no significant difference. Like Wi-Fi 6, it offers speeds up to 40% faster than Wi-Fi 5, coordinates communication with connected devices to consume less battery, and performs better in environments with multiple Wi-Fi devices. Ideal for homes with many smart devices. Compatible with all previous generations.

  • Wi-Fi Frequency

    The frequencies in which the device can transmit. Most modern routers transmit on two (2.4 & 5GHz) or even three frequencies. Additional frequencies allow for faster speeds on more devices, with the biggest difference observed from one frequency to the other.

    Dual Band (2.4 & 5GHz)

    They transmit signals on two frequencies. They offer higher speeds compared to singles and connect more devices.

Description

Description

The Asus RT-BE58U is a router, a device to which other devices (e.g., computer, mobile phone, TV) connect either wirelessly or via cable, and through which internet access is shared. To access the internet, it needs to be connected to a modem.

It broadcasts signals on two frequencies:

  • 2.4GHz: The most common with a wide range.
  • 5GHz: Provides higher speed but is more sensitive to obstacles (e.g., walls) that reduce its range.

The 5GHz band has fewer interferences from other networks due to its more limited usage.

It supports WiFi mesh, a comprehensive home WiFi system with multiple access points, eliminating dead zones and providing seamless WiFi throughout the home.

The device has VPN (Virtual Private Network) configuration capability, allowing traffic from all devices on the network to pass through it. The VPN offers anonymity and access to geographically restricted content.

With MAC address filtering, it allows specific devices to connect based on their unique MAC address.

Type
Router

Type

The devices we encounter are standalone routers, routers with built-in modems, and mobile routers.

A router requires a separate modem and distributes the connection to multiple devices via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, but cannot connect directly to the internet. A modem/router combines a modem and router in one device, connects directly to the internet provider, and distributes the connection to the local network. A mobile router, on the other hand, uses a SIM card and mobile data to create a portable Wi-Fi hotspot, ideal for use outside the home or in areas without a fixed connection.

Router

Plain router (without modem). The router is a device to which other devices (e.g. computer, mobile, TV) connect either wirelessly or with a cable, and it shares internet access with them. It receives internet access through a separate device called a modem.
Maximum Wireless Speed

Network Standards
IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11 b/g/n, IEEE 802.11ac, IEEE 802.11ax, IEEE 802.11be

Network Standards

The device supports various networking standards that affect the maximum Wi-Fi speed, distance, sensitivity to obstacles, etc. This information is also reflected in the more user-friendly Wi-Fi generation. It is recommended to choose a Wi-Fi 5 (IEEE 802.11ac) or Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax) device.

IEEE 802.11 b/g/n

The older Wi-Fi standard, known as Wi-Fi 4, is significantly slower than Wi-Fi 5 (IEEE 802.11ac) and Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax).

It is recommended for use with few devices and for applications that do not require high speeds. For most users, it would be preferable to choose a Wi-Fi 5 or 6 device according to their needs. Each newer generation is compatible with devices that support a previous one.

IEEE 802.11ac
The most common Wi-Fi standard, known as Wi-Fi 5, is significantly faster than Wi-Fi 4 (IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n).

Wi-Fi 5 can currently meet the needs of most users, but there is now the next generation Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax) which offers the ability to connect many more devices to serve the increasingly smart devices in a home.

Each newer generation is compatible with devices that support some previous one.
IEEE 802.11ax
The most modern Wi-Fi standard, also known as Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax), offers speeds up to 40% faster than Wi-Fi 5, coordinates communication with connected devices to consume less battery, and performs better in environments with multiple Wi-Fi devices.

Security

Encryption Protocols
WEP, WPA

Encryption Protocols

The security protocols supported by the device for encrypting data transmitted wirelessly and protecting against third-party connections to your network.

The first protocol was WEP, which was replaced by WPA, which in turn evolves into generations with each generation having a corporate and home version. Anything older than WPA2 is not considered secure.

It is recommended that the device support at least WPA2-Personal (PSK) for home use.

WEP
Old protocol that no longer provides security and has been abandoned.
WPA

The WPA protocol was a temporary significant improvement over WEP, but still vulnerable and outdated. It has now been replaced by WPA 2.
MAC Address Filtering
Yes

MAC Address Filtering

MAC (media access control) address filtering is the ability of a device to allow specific devices to connect based on their unique MAC address, while excluding any device with a MAC address that has not been defined as acceptable.

Extras

Virtual Private Network (VPN)
Yes

Virtual Private Network (VPN)

The device has the ability to set up a VPN (Virtual Private Network) so that traffic from all devices on our network passes through it. 2. The VPN acts as an intermediary between us and the rest of the internet. This way, we can give the impression that we are geographically located in another country and the pages we visit see the VPN address as the visitor's address, not ours. 3. This provides us with anonymity and access to content with geographic restrictions (e.g. some YouTube videos are only available in certain countries, the Netflix catalog is different depending on the country, etc.). 4. VPN services are usually paid for by subscription.
VoIP
No
Mesh
Yes

Mesh

It is a complete home WiFi system with multiple access points designed to eliminate dead zones and provide seamless WiFi throughout your home with higher speeds and more devices.

    This review is about the network version: v2

    The product exhibits "silent stalls": while devices appear connected with full signal, packet routing is completely interrupted for 1-2 minutes. This causes freezes in real-time streaming (live sports, YouTube) and forces phones to switch to data.

    The problem is officially recognized and is due to a bug in the Broadcom Wi-Fi 7 chipset (BCM6766/6726 series). Syslogs continuously record errors wlX: SCB deauthorize 30 and MLO ERROR. Tests have been performed with factory reset, disabling MLO, Smart Connect, and DTIM changes, but the issue remains (the wired ports work normally).
