The ASUS RP-BE58 is a modest Wi-Fi 7 extender that suits small home networks and stays reliable in every mode, but its single Gigabit port caps wired speed.

Hands-on review · Wi-Fi 7 repeater
Verdict
The ASUS RP-BE58 does the job without fuss, but it is slower than the TP-Link RE235BE at a similar price, so it is hard to pick.

Verdict
The ASUS RP-BE58 has Wi-Fi 7 and low power draw, but its real-world repeater speed is moderate and it lacks the 6 GHz band.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about ASUS RP-BE58

  • Ethernet backhaul lets it link to the router by cable.
  • Wi-Fi 7 gives a total speed of 3600 Mbps.
  • Up to 2882 Mbps on 5 GHz gives fast links to devices.
  • It plugs straight into a wall socket and is portable.
  • A signal strength indicator helps you find a good spot.
  • The WPS button offers a quick way to connect a device.

What customers don't like about ASUS RP-BE58

  • Its one Ethernet port runs at 1 Gbps only.
  • There is no 6 GHz band.
  • It lacks 802.11r, the standard that makes roaming between access points quicker.
  • It is not waterproof and stays indoors.

Verdict

Wired backhaul is the main reason to choose the ASUS RP-BE58, a small Wi-Fi 7 extender that plugs straight into a wall socket. If you can run a network cable from the router to the unit, it can send the signal over that link, which often gives more speed than a wireless hop. Its rated figures are 2882 Mbps on 5 GHz and 688 Mbps on 2.4 GHz. The unit is portable, and a signal strength indicator helps you find a good spot. Setup can be done with the app or the WPS button. The downside is the single 1 Gbps Ethernet port and the lack of 6 GHz support. It is not waterproof, so it stays indoors. It suits someone who wants a neat unit in a home where a cable can reach the router.
