Please don't spread FUD.

The CyberSecurityDive article is awful and makes no mention as to the cause or solution for the vulnerability. The HotHardware article actually states what the vulnerability is and how to resolve it. Neither article actually pinpoints what hardware is actually vulnerable.

If you actually read the articles you linked, you would learn that the vulnerability is due to having SSH enabled. This setting is disabled by default on every single ASUS router I have ever touched and in some devices, completely removed to prevent nefarious access. It should go without saying that the "thousands of ASUS routers" that are truly compromised are probably really old units.

Old firmware versions of the TM-AC1900 (T-Mobile branded AC68U) had SSH access available (but disabled) and was later removed to prevent people from flashing it from T-Mobile's firmware to Asus's "official" firmware or Merlin. People flashing their TM-AC1900 devices had to enable SSH so that they could pull some .bin files off the device, alter them, and then upload them back to the router. Anybody tech savvy enough to do all this is probably smart enough to disable SSH afterwards, but that doesn't mean people don't forget.

Either way, 99% of the people with ASUS routers aren't affected by this and the remaining 1% set themselves up for failure for not being diligent with their tinkering.
As far as I can tell, Asus is one of the routers that provides regular updates to fix CVEs. If not Asus, which routers do you think are better?
Asus actually continually updates their firmware. One of the worst offenders is tplink who will sell you routers at a cheap price but never updates their routers after a year and then they become chock full of security vulnerabilities that the chinese can exploit.

Been researching Asus routers and noticed the WiFi 6 routers have great customer ratings and the WiFi 7 routers do not. Seems their WiFi 7 implementation is not as stable as it should be. If anyone can speak more on that I'd be interested to understanding better.
I know their Wifi 7 routers had an issue where Core 1 would get stuck at 100% but their latest firmware fixed my issue on my RT-BE92U. It's been smooth sailing the last 2 months after dealing with that issue in April.

Again... according to the article that you linked, this only affects people who have SSH enabled.

Which means, people who have gone through the trouble to enable SSH on their ASUS routers are the ones that are vulnerable. It doesn't affect EVERY single ASUS router on the market, just the ones that have SSH enabled.

That's why it says THOUSANDS of routers, not MILLIONS.

In almost all cases its thousands and not millions no matter on the brand when it comes to exploits.

Would this be overkill to use as an access point in a 3 router (this one included) aimesh network with wired backhaul? I figured since it's newer, I can use it as the primary router when my older ax units in this network get end of life's eventually.

If you are using wired backhaul for all of them it might be a suitable main, but it all depends how powerful your other routers are. If this has the better processor and ram of the group than yes, if there is one that has significantly more ram and a better CPU then it should be the main.

I think you may be confusing the BE with the AX. BE58U is not AX58U. There is no V2 of the BE .. yet. The BE58U is not supported by Merlin...yet.

Is this good router?

I returned mine, was upgrading from ax86pro or thought so. Upgraded to latest firmware and still slow on anything but 2.4 unless you're direct line of sight. Been an Asus fan for years but this one is a huge disappointment.

V2 was released after my comment. Initial release for V2 firmware was on the date you note.

Lol dude, you went from a high end dual band router that is 4x4/3x3 to a entry level wifi 7 2x2 device, in no way besides the protocol being wifi 7 would this be considered an upgrade when it comes to performance.....

In short high end wifi 6, better than entry level wifi 7.

I thought Wi-Fi 7 was worth it and if at close range it was, just didn't expect it to go to crap outside of 30 feet and a couple walls plus the mesh nodes suffered as well. Guess I should have poured over the details before falling for the Wi-Fi 7 marketing.
