I’ve used the Asus RT-AX58U for a few weeks and the article mirrors my experience with it. Great router, works as advertised, no issues at all. It’s really a mini clone of the RT-AX88U with a little less horsepower.
Hello, can you please tell me if there is a difference in Wifi range if I would buy a even more expensive Asus Router like the AX88u or even the AX11000 or is the only difference a higher amount of Speed in the same rooms? Because I want to buy one Router that covers my house and I am so tired of having trouble with mesh networks :/
I have a AX-88U also and the range is a bit farther than the 58U but either will cover 2000 sq. ft. without an issue. Obviously the 88U is faster but in a smaller area to cover the 58U does a great job for half the cost of a 88U. I actually tried a Netgear Nighthawk Mesh AX1800 system and it was noticeably slower than the 58U and the coverage wasn’t better, it got returned.
I need a wlan router can really through walls. I tried Linksys WRT3200ACM , that is super BUT has no ability to through walls. I have a 4 rooms apartment
“AX58U is better than AX88U in some tests”, yes that was real in our testing. This model (AX58U) performed very well, and we like it a lot.

I got the AX3000 same as the AX58U model. I can say that the router is superb, however the initial installation was a little tricky but I might to reset and installed again. After that the router response very well.
I did experience some drop in the 5G at some distance but the 2.4G was able to pick up the bandwidth.
I am hoping for a new firmware becos the GUl was seems not as smooth as before.

Is there any advantage of AX58U over AX92U? Based on the speed comparison, the AX92U is definitely better for nearly the same price (for a single router usage). Did I overlook anything? Coverage? Software?
Any update on this as I am currently looking at the same situation? Using a single ax92u for my main router.

I purchased two of these routers to create an AiMesh in my home and replace about a 7 year old router with WiFi extender that were no longer getting firmware updates. If not for a brick wall running halfway through the middle of my home, I would have only needed one router to readily cover my 2100′ home and basement.
I am technically capable, but not an expert by far. Set up of the first router was fast and easy – done in less than 15 minutes except making some updates to devices as I changed SSID name and password at same time. Setting up the AiMesh was technically easy, but the directions and YouTube video were a bit unclear so setting up the second router as a node took a bit more fumbling around to finally get firmware updated, primary and node named, and connected. Once connected though, using the app on my phone instead of the GUI web interface, all went well. Speed and reliability dramatically improved throughout the house including both sides of the brick wall after about 48 hours of use. I’m very pleased with the upgrade even though I expect it will be a while before we use the WiFi 6 features.

Was the device used to test data speeds WiFi 6 capable or is it using an older wifi standard?

I’m interested in purchasing this router. It performs like his big brothers.

I can’t agree more about this router. Build is solid, robust and looks good! The best part of it is the ability to personalize own preference on its app and more.

in another review, AX58U is better than AX88U in some tests.
Could anyone tell me is it real?

I would go for the AX92U, just because it is a mesh Wi-Fi that can provide larger coverage.

I’m glad you like it and that you agree with out review.
