ASUS RT-BE59 is a budget WiFi 7 router that looks strongest as a step up from older ASUS WiFi 5 gear, especially for AiMesh setups and faster 5 GHz performance. The 3x3 5 GHz radio and ASUS support history make it appealing for homes that want a newer backbone and ongoing firmware updates. The big limitation is that it has no 6 GHz band, so the WiFi 7 upside is mostly latency and snappier browsing rather than big speed gains. Its benefits also depend on having WiFi 7 capable devices, and coverage through walls still looks limited.
The router can feel snappier because WiFi 7 mainly improves time to first byte rather than total throughput.
The router can support an Ethernet-backbone AI Mesh setup when multiple units are used together.
The router may deliver a noticeable improvement in 5GHz speeds compared with older T-Mobile ASUS models.
The router can be a practical upgrade path when older ASUS models are end-of-life for firmware support.
The router lacks a 6 GHz band, which limits compatibility with 6E-style use cases.
The router may not provide big real-world speed gains because many clients use 2x2 radios and the 5GHz capacity increase is limited.
The router can underperform for coverage because 5GHz may not reach farther rooms on the first floor.
The router has limited user review coverage, and Amazon feedback appears less positive than expected.

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.
Still recently, I couldn't resist the temptation and upgrade to a BE58U(similar to this one but supports Merlin). Practically I do NOT see huge difference in network performance except feeling better. But thinking about AC68U has been 10 years, and it's time to move on and have it as a backup now.

[IMG]https://static.slickdealscdn.com/images/smilies/smile.gif[/IMG]. And I pay 25 dollars a month for internet service (spectrum internet) . I'm very causal user. Everything is speedy for what I am doing. I could easily buy this but if it has bugs, and not many user reviews (only 25 amazon reviews and many from VINE members who get product for FREE). I'll pass for another year.
I just checked for updates to my asus, and it has a firmware update,updating it now, so my older asus (RT-AC68U) wifi 5 still seems to be supported (I guess).
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.

Another thing I like about ASUS is they support their routers for quite a while. Your router's firmware update is from May of this year... BTW, the RT-AC68U is on the "end of life" list, check here: https://www.asus.com/event/network/eol-product/ So that means ASUS won't be providing firmware updates for the RT-AC68U in the future. According to their website this may be the last firmware update for RT-AC68U: https://www.asus.com/supportonly/...desk_bios/ - "This model was end of its life, and its firmware, utility, website, and manual will no longer be updated. For more details, please refer to https://www.asus.com/event/network/eol-product/" Considering RT-AC68U was released in around 2013, 13 years is a long time for firmware updates.
Maybe instead of WiFi 7 you could consider upgrading to a WiFi 6 product. Good luck
TropicalB recommended Asus XT8 (wifi 6), he has used for about 5 years and works for him).
Jontalk likes Asus products like me, and suggested a few newer routers than the asus model I currently am using.
Suggestions , please, and I will research them. Glad I'm in this room, and chatting with you guys.
p.s. Maybe somewhere around 100 dollars , link to product and sale price. I'll research it and buy it today if it clicks with me. The asus in this thread is on sale for 95 dollars, that is around price I'm looking to buy at. Again, I'm casual, 50Mb connection, I live alone, not a gamer (not hard core anymore).

that's a good plan. i'm still using the Linksys LN1301 Tri-Band AX4200 that was on a fire sale last year for $20. very happy with it.
The model you posted Linksys LN1301 Tri-Band AX4200, I did buy last year from Amazon, I haven't even opened it yet. I also bought it for 20 dollars (I bought 2 of them... completely forgot, when I went to that page on amazon ... it said I bought 2 of them) . I will look around for it , and try it out. Thanks. forgot about that. My Asus was still getting updates, so I put it off. And this wifi 7 router looked interesting, so I came into this room.
Thanks guys for your suggestions. Much appreciated.
So I will go from wifi 5 to wifi 6 ... good enough for me. Glad I came into this room.

But the 2.4ghz is 2x2 and the 5ghz is 3x3. And that's not much of an upgrade over my current router. The others I'm looking at have double the capacity for multiple connections. Personally I'm more setup for WiFi 6 at this time than 7 anyways and having like 5 of every kinda smart device imaginable, I'm more interested in many devices having full access to the router than having to wait around because of limited connections. Unless WiFi 7 some how fixed that but from what I've seen from level1techs on YouTube, WiFi 7 is very hit or miss and has a lot of issues. I would personally be cautious on 7 for now.
