Performance-wise from what I can tell, the RT-BE58U is stripped down RT-BE92 - it lacks the 6 GHz channel and has half the bandwidth (160 MHz vs 320 MHZ), but it's WiFi7 in every other respect. Appropriately it's half the price, and current compatibility is most important. Having many "legacy' devices that still get the job done and nothing needing 6 GHz, this hits the sweet spot for me.

Great router I have it back hauled with be96u and its working great so far

Set up was straight forward. I am using the BE-88U as the primary router with the two BE-92's as secondary mesh routers. There were no issues with the set up between the Primary and Mesh Routers. The directions were simple to follow. The routers have robust security options. The coverage in the house is now very good. The clients already in place connected automatically. I had 3 older (2019) ASUS routers serving in a mesh setup previously, which had coverage issues that had increased over time. The cable company had put the optical fiber modem at the far end of the house in a closet (obviously not ideal).

Very small and portable.
