ASUS RT-AX58U V2 WIFI 6 AX3000 Dual-Band Extendable Mesh WiFi Router, with Mobile Tethering (Replacement of 4G 5G routers) AIMESH MU-MIMO Game Rangeboost Trend Aiprotection Pro security, Adaptive QoS

Works with the Virgin Hub 3 in modem mode. A big thank you to the previous reviewer who mentioned rebooting the Virgin hub after connecting it to this router - this was the step I was missing on my first attempt, and had no internet until I did this. Otherwise, setup very straight forward. Using WPA3 so all the Apple devices in the house stop moaning about our old insecure WiFi which is a plus. No dropouts at all with this, and is working well with some TP Link powerline adapters (using for older devices, not due to WiFi issues). I set it to our original SSIDs/passwords from the previous router, however this had some unexpected side effects so I would recommend taking the time to just go round every WiFi device, forgetting the old network and then rejoining this new one. The only device that threw a strop was a Nokia 6 Android phone - it took a full factory reset to get it to connect to the new WiFi for the first time (it would save the connection but not connect, no error message either) but now it's fine. Get really good download/upload speeds, and only a slight difference in latency between the WiFi and LAN. The interface in the browser is much better than our old router, lots more info and settings if you like to dabble. Not using the advanced security software as the privacy statement didn't sit well with me, so can't rate that. Hopefully this has future-proofed our network for some time to come! I bought this used and apart from it needing a factory reset, it was a bargain - looks brand new. Haven't thought about it since it was setup, surely a good sign.

This router works great and provides better coverage to the whole house. I have a virgin super hub 3 and had consistent drops outs in certain areas of the house. We have multiple devices running simultaneous and knew it was a bandwidth issue and the poor signal coverage from the hub as our speed (200mb) is sufficient for our needs. Installation of the device is relatively straightforward, even for non-techies. Put the virgin hub in modem mode and connect the WAN from the hub to the router (use the top 1 of the 4 wan ports on the hub). Set up the wifi (easier via desktop) and you're pretty much good to go. Has load of features on the router interface, which is quite useful. I now get 200mb in the attic via Wifi (up from 50mb) and no drop outs in the conservatory. The AI protection features are nice but through a third party. Not keen on that at all, native features are fine but transmission of data to other parties to utilise certain features is the only drawback. Really happy with the router and would have been reluctant to purchase at the RRP price so good value in the cyber deals.

Comes neatly packed with both eu and U.K. plug attachments which is nice. The antennas aren’t removable from the back which couldve been a nice feature. The device feels solid and well built, small and compact the materials doesn’t feel cheap which is nice for a £200 product. Compared to the Virgin super hub 3, the signal quality is much better with significant improvement to connection integrity without dropping out within a reasonable range. With The super hub 3 I often have buffer screen and sometimes freezes in connection, even dropping out within a reasonable range. Compared to super hub 3, the range improves by about 20% but connection is flaky on the outer edges as expected, but I would’ve expected more for £200. Data carried across connection improved as well, though I’d say can be better. Setting it up was alittle bothersome without very clear instructions. Basically you have to set Virgin super hub to modem mode, then attach WAN to WAN on super hub and the ASUS router. Turn ASUS router on and set it up via app or Ethernet (the app didn’t work for me). Turn both super hub and router off, then turn router on and wait for 3 minutes for initialisation then Virgin super hub back on. Then it should work. It’s a hassle if you don’t know the particular order and had me scratching my head for about an hour frustrated as any different order would result in failure to setup. Overall it’s a nice device, but I expected more from it due to the hefty price tag; the range can be better and maybe a larger data transfer rate, also better setup procedure. I would recommend getting this only on a decent discount or if you have money to throw

I had read reviews that said this router worked well with Sky Broadband (FTTP), but needed a little tinkering to get it to work. Imagine my surprise when I plugged the router in and it started to work instantly, no tinkering or complicated set up required. Once turned on and connected to the ONT, the router set itself up with no problems using the Asus app. One great feature is that you set up the name and password for the network as part of the set up process, really handy if you're replacing an existing router. All our devices connected immediately and we're yet to see any drop outs. The speed on the Wi-Fi is dramatically improved, and the range is so much better that we don't need any mesh extenders anymore.

Really a fantastic item. I had assumed most products at this price range (mid range / wifi 6, budget around £100-£150) would be the same, but I was wrong. This is my third router since I got FTTP installed. First was TP-Link - wifi speed seemed fine (~250Mbps), but there was no way in the interface to open an inbound ipv6 connection. Next I got a Linksys. This also had very minimal interface, but I could open ipv6. Wireless speed was the same. But ipv6 was very unstable (would stop working after a few hours until reboot) and ipv4 NAT port forwards were only looped back from the wifi interface, not over internet. Again there was no setting to control that behaviour so that went back. This Asus router is so much better compared to my recent experience with both of these I can't believe it doesn't cost twice as much. Management interface is much more responsive and allows to configure anything I would want in a straightforward way. Ipv6 works perfect. It's much faster, wifi is at least twice as fast as both as the other too (I have never seen 600Mbps over wifi before). I even like the feature to turn off the lights. Could not be happier and will be looking to Asus for other hardware items in the future. I am looking to replace some Samsung monitors which are absolute junk (have 3 which all give a high pitch voltage whine if the brightness if off 100%). Anyway excellent router, A+++++, highly recommended

Wow, what a game changer! Lived with the virgin hub3 for years, had no end of connection issues. Set up the asus router, very easy to do so I might add, especially with the asus app. Now I'm getting the speed I've been paying for all these years, the stability is perfect and the range has increased dramatically. I can now stream from the top of my garden without any drop outs. If you have a virgin hub, get yourself one of these, you won't regret it!

I bought this as the broadband router wifi that I had through my provider kept on crashing out. The Asus router is a great product, the features in the software are very good, particularly like the parental control and malware software detection. Being able to restrict adult and other specific types of content to specific devices in your home is great if you have kids. In the past I have always been underwhelmed by this kind of support in routers. The wifi 6 performance is excellent in both coverage and speed (reasonably large home), I have about 30 devices across both 2.4ghz and 5ghz, and it has been very stable (Cameras, Alexas, Chromecasts, Laptops, Phones, Android TV boxes etc). I use with 300mbps broadband and there is no contention that I can see. Highly recommend.

Purchased this so that I can add a Vpn to the router and use my virgin hub as a modem only. The router is very easy to set up and the asus app is easy user friendly. You can quickly change the router settings for example prioritising the connection for certain tasks (eg working from home or gaming). I'm not going to lie, the router is quite chunky and not very nice to look at but it does the job.

1st of all, easy to configure you can do it withing 3 minutes, there is various videos in YouTube to guide you step by step. 2nd part you will notice the difference with no time, many features comes along when you use the official app, I'm trying to configure my HDD to be used as cloud storage, I like it Picasso 👌🏼

The Asus RT-AX58U gets all the basics right, combining fast, dual-band Wi-Fi 6 performance with a competitive price. It’s easy to use, with good parental controls and other features, and also offers a web browser interface for more advanced users. Pros +Strong Wi-Fi 6 performance. +Simple set-up. +Good parental controls. +Competitive price for a Wi-Fi 6 router +USB 3.1 port for sharing/streaming via USB storage devices on your home network. +Setup and Configure Asus RT-AX58U Router as a OpenVPN Server and IPvanish VPN. Cons -Dual-band only.

Great product, with great features, love this wifi router. The only downfall was I didn’t realise I was buying from uk and it doesn’t have an AU plug but all good I just got an adapter and works perfectly 👍🏼

Amazing speeds

It was easy to set up and allowed us to use our Deco M5 units as access points allowing for better signal strength over our apartment. Definitely recommend this router for its utility and low cost.
