mostly 6G is not that important as the distance and ability passing wall is low

Is this not good for wall permeability?

ok, should I continue to wait or buy a router like this. This is wifi 7.

Currently I'm using my trusted many year long relationship with my ASUS RT-AC68U. I picked up 3 of them many years ago from t-mobile sale on them. It is only wifi 5. It is mesh device, but I really only use one of them, but a few years ago set it up for mesh.

My spectrum speed is 50gb ... everything I do works on it, and I do put latest updates on it.

What do you guys suggest, wait another year, or jump in, will I notice a differance. I live a lone. I do look at routers every few years, but as long as my setup still works (so stayed with what works.). Do you guys think in tech years, I'm a caveman using wifi 5 ... and the asus RT-AC68U. .... should I upgrade or stay in my CAVE. Smilie

I did just spent a few hours researching this device. Hardly ANY user reviews on it. Amazon has total of 25 reviews and lots of VINE reviews, best buy no reviews, microcenter no reviews, new egg no reviews.
Youtube has a couple of BE 58 asus pro's reviewing it.
Amazon reviews don't seem that positive to me. What do you more knowledgable guys think?
seems like good price ... 95 dollars. new.
maybe some of you guys will really like this router and recommend it and own it.

Which Merlin routers do you use? I'm still using the T-Mobile Slickdeals $30 Asus hack router from nearly a decade ago, but I think Merlin abandoned it due to legal issues, and the hardware is old anyway.

I'm using those T-Mobile RT-AC68U too. Can you believe those were Slickdeals almost 10 years ago?

Mine is still working solidly as an access point, but it became way to difficult to update after the legal issues with Asus, so I'm looking for a modern $50 router that is actively updated.

Similar to the pair of RT-BE58U I have, but different chipsets and radios. Looks like the BE59 is a Mediatek MT7987AV SOC with 128MB/1GB vs my BE58U with Broadcom BCM6764L and 256MB/1GB. BE59 is also 3x3 on the 5GHz, where BE58U is only 2x2, but with most clients being 2x2 anyway, not really going to see any faster.
