RP-AX58 AX3000 Dual Band WiFi 6 (802.11ax) Range Extender, AiMesh Extender for Seamless mesh WiFi; Works with Any WiFi Router

This extender has worked great for my needs and provides excellent range. I originally purchased it to eliminate a dead spot in my house and to improve coverage for my outdoor security cameras. It has performed very well in both situations, even transmitting a strong signal through exterior brick walls. One of the biggest advantages for me is that I already use an ASUS router. Setup was straightforward, and I was able to add the extender to my existing ASUS mesh network with minimal effort. Once configured, it integrated seamlessly and has provided reliable coverage throughout the areas that previously had weak or inconsistent Wi-Fi. Overall, I'm very pleased with the performance, range, and ease of integration. If you already have an ASUS router and need to extend your Wi-Fi coverage, this is an excellent option.

Use this asus wifi extender to update our new tesla. It worked! I highly recommend this product.

This extender is a good choice if you have an ASUS brand router to extend, and you prefer mounting it in a power outlet. If you have another brand access point main router, I would not choose this extender. Although it has good rage, it is a little difficult to set up in my opinion. (I have a set up tip later.) It is a little expensive, and may not work consistently with other brand routers in my experiences. I will explain those issues later. For non ASUS routers, I have had better experiences with the inexpensive TP-Link RE315, or if you want better performance, the RE715x. If you want to extend an ASUS router, I would suggest buying another ASUS router and using it in a mesh configuration for the same price as this extender. (Like the RT-AX58U) The second router will have better range, better specs and have support for a guest network. If you want to set up an ASUS AI Mesh configuration and prefer to use a power outlet, this extender is your only option. Once set up correctly, this extender has been solid for me. It is configured by logging into your main ASUS router from either a web browser or the ASUS router app. No account sign up is needed. Both work good. The app is easier to use. The web browser has other options not available in the app. Both the access point and extender are configured through the access point main router including firmware updates and all the settings. No further need to log into the extender. Now the not so good. This extender does not extend a guest network if you have one set up. To login to the extender, there is an ASUS “extender” app (as opposed to the ASUS “router” app) When I purchased this extender, the “extender” app constantly crashed. ASUS recently updated the app after ignoring it for a few years and it may work better now. I had to use a web browser for initial login. (You can also use the “router” app, which did not crash.) If you have a different brand main router, log into the ASUS extender and search for your wireless network. Join the network using your wireless password. The extender should connect and extend your network. This has not been consistent with non ASUS routers for me and the connection drops for short periods sometimes in my experience. If you have an ASUS main router, my big tip is to connect the extender with an Ethernet cable to the access point router. (Only if it is an ASUS router.) Trying to set up the extender wirelessly was hit or miss to say the least. Basically, you log into your ASUS main router, go into the network map and add an AI Mesh extender by searching for it. (Follow the instructions supplied with the extender.) I definitely suggest using the Ethernet cable for initial set up. Use the same WiFi SSID for all the signals except the guest network if you have one or turn on smart connect. After set up, you can disconnect the cable and place the extender anywhere it can reach a signal and it will automatically set up the WiFi mesh. All mesh routers, extenders, clients, and their traffic, is monitored and configured through the access point. Very nice.

from the top: I was connecting this as a repeater, not to an AI mesh router. this is how that went: it connected right up but I couldn't access the settings using the unclear useless instructions I finally did so consulting chatgpt ai which gave me the access address plus the username and PW that asus doesn't supply that you need if you are setting it up using the phone app, which is, by the way, admin and admin, but it's not published anywhere on the device, nor in the instructions! chat gpt isn't the greatest either so that took me hours. at 1 point, I went to the Asus website and downloaded the router finder thing for Windows and ran it. The app found the equipment but then I couldn't access the settings because the app said the router was on a different subnet mask than my computer. but i checked and they were the same! Eventually, by hook and crook, I got access to it's page, initially trying that app one more time which mysteriously worked for a change and then i went to the settings and changed them , turning on security, etc. I changed it's 2.4g and 5G settings to network name and my passcode. I thought all was fine, except this POS doesn't stay connected to the network no way, no how whether it's 2 feet from my network hum of 20 feet. once connected, unplugging and plugging back in a single wifi security camera from my system will knock it offline and it won't reconnect until I recycle it by unplugging it and replugging it back in, sometimes several times! but then it goes back offline and won't reconnect without unplugging it and plugging it back in again. but that is not all! at one point I tried to push the pin in and factory reset it, which is supposed to take 15 seconds. I held it for 0 seconds BUT NOTHING EVER HAPPENED! the light didn't change to yellow or anything. it just kept blinking blue (connecting mode). the Asus help line stays busy and the video at amazon to click on at amazon for this purchase IS A VIDEO FOR A DIFFERENT BRAND! reminds me fo the last Hewlett Packard printer I bought: total junk, new out of box that never stayed online for more than 1 day and quickly not at all, like within the first week and had non existent support.

This range extender works exactly as I wanted. I have an outside shed that I do projects inside of and getting a wifi signal to the shed wasn't working well at all. I moved the wireless router to the closest window to the shed, but the signal was still very weak. I plugged this range extender in on my covered back porch which is about 20 ft from the window that has the wireless router. Adding the ranger extender to my existing setup was easy as I followed the prompts on my Asus router to add the extender. Within 5 minutes, the extender had been programmed by the router and it was putting out a signal. I now have 4 out of 5 bars of wireless in my shed and speeds have improved from 5Mbps download to 150Mbps download which is fast enough to watch TV or stream music. I didn't think the extender was going to help as much as it did, but I'm very happy with how easy it was to setup and I'm thrilled with the speeds that I am getting.

ASUS RP-AX58, June 17, 2026, $75.89, Sold By: Amazon TLDR: Excellent repeater also for older routers I never receive anything for my reviews and they are 100% my honest personal opinion. I do not like any of the new WIFI routers. You can read my original review here on Amazon about the RT-AC87U. Nothing beats it for flat out coverage. I have had many routers and I do have an older Linksys that I keep for a backup should anything happen to the 87 which is now 12 years old. I am also an ASUS product fan, not so much their support, although I have not had much need for it. I have an ASUS mobo that is still in service after 11 years which I am now running with OPNsense as a transparent (bump in the line) hardware firewall appliance because WIN10 has been depricated and it won't run WIN11 without hacks. For normal WIFI security cameras, the 87 has been great. We recently had our internet upgraded from 4GLTE cellular to gigabit fiber to the home. Minimum 100 times faster and sometimes 1000 times faster than what we had. This has been a game changer for us. We dumped satelite, the 4G LTE device and now get all our TV needs through Sprectrum as well as Gigabit internet and are saving money in the process with many more channels and a few of them premium. That meant we are now streaming to our smart TVs. Here where I sit in a theater with a computer over a projector to a 20ft diagonal screen, in the living room to a new ONN powered by Vizio, and in three bedrooms, one a smart TV Hisense, the other two connected via the Spectrum package included XUMO and the other via a ROKU Ultra I bought here on Amazon. I have changed all the security cameras to ethernet but not the TVs. Streaming to just one TV before was problematic to say the least. Now we can stream to 6 different devices with no issues, that includes three tablets. These TVs and tablets can range up to 100ft from the 87 with the signal going through multiple walls. 2.4 makes it no problem but not 5.8 and that has the better bandwidth. Hence the need for the RP-AX58 repeater. You will read lots of stuff out there about the 58 can't connect to both 2.4 and 5.8 unless the router is also a mesh router. This is false. See my attached pictures for proof. Now with that said, the AX58 will pick and choose bands as necessary to maximize throughput and works in unison with the AC87U beamforming. Bottom line, seamless high definition video on all our displays all throughout the house, even on the front and back porches. The 87 is 1/4 the way to one end of the house and the 58 is 1/4 towards the other end of the house leaving a solid 1/2 in the middle. The house is 100ft long. What I found interesting is the AX picked up a security camera I have on the far side of the shop on a totally different setup. I was not intending on that but it did. 25ft from the AX to the brick wall through an interior sheetrock wall, another 100ft through a window to the camera. It is only one nubbin but it actually works. As I said, I hadn't expected that. To get the 58 to work on both bands with a non-mesh dual band router, manually assign both the 2.4 and 5.8 connections individually. You will notice the network list on the 58 has one less than on the 87. Duh! The 58 doesn't include itself. In the network list on the 87 it shows two of the same IPs for the 58 but counts them as one. I use the same SSID on both the 87 and the 58 2.4G band and only add _5G to the SSID on both the 87 and the 58 for that band. You can use different SSIDs between the router and the repeater to lesson the confusion if you want. I know it seems strange, an AC2400 pasted to an AX3000 but it works seamlessly. I am thinking of adding another 58 in the pool area. If you are not use to the type of GUI ASUS uses, you may find this a bit unusual. I have found the GUI on all the new routers lacking along with performance, unless you spend upwhere of a grand. Spend some time with the 58 and phone a friend if you need to. I hope this helps someone.

I paired this with an ASUS AX6000 RT-AX88U from 2022, and it completely resolved my connectivity issues. It doesn't create a new SSID if you configure the AiMesh mode, it just makes the original SSID available in more areas and quietly bounces your signal to the main unit. I'm told you get lower bandwidth overall, but unless you have insanely fast internet, you'll probably never notice. My router is on the top floor, centrally placed, and this extender is on the main level, at the back of the house, with nearly line-of-sight so the signal is strong between them. With the extender, not only does my basement get great connectivity now, but so does my backyard. I can go anywhere in the house or backyard seamlessly listening on my phone to live content, and experience no drops as it would hop to mobile connectivity; it just stays on the wifi the whole time. If I recall correctly, connecting it took a few minutes, and basically demanded I install the ASUS Router app. But with that done, I was able to get the extender connected up and everything else is totally smooth. I highly recommend this unit and may eventually get another to extend the reach off the front of my house.

I have a RT-RX5400 for my central router for my home network. I had an older RT-AC86U that was in my garage that was easily configured as a AI Mesh node to my RT-RX5400, which was super simple to setup and get going. However, when my RT-AC86U died, I decided to buy this as a replacement for the dead zone out in the garage. The RP-AX58 was not a simple setup, after spending two hours making sure that it was within 2 meters of the base router for initial configuration - trying the different Asus phone apps it would continue to fail. I kept resetting it to factory defaults, restarting the RT-RX5400 but no joy. I was able to finally get it to fully sync as a mesh after about 2 hours of repeating this process and it appears the unit is stable so far. Connectivity which was great with the AC86U, is only "OK" with this mesh node extender.

Works as expected, easy setup.

Good

Fabuloso producto la red funciona excelente y el alcance es muy bueno.

This is my second order and this appears to be a great company to deal with!

Trop difficile à installer
