- Firewall Type: None (The method the firewall uses to filter and process data to increase network security, primarily by blocking malicious traffic requests while allowing legitimate traffic through.)
- Network
- Band Technology: Dual (Refers to the number of frequency bands used to wirelessly transmit an internet signal. For example, dual-band devices may use one 2.4 and one 5 GHz band, while tri-band devices may use one 2.4 and two 5 GHz bands. Multiple bands also provide more flexibility for designating connected devices to specific band use.)
- Ethernet Standard: 10/100/1000 (Each standard is a variation of the IEEE 802.3 set of computer networking technologies known as Ethernet. New versions evolved to include higher bandwidth, different physical media, and other new and improved features. Standards are often denoted by speeds (in Megabits per second). For example, a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port transmits at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).)
- Number of Antennas: 2
- Frequency Band: 2.4 GHz, 5.0 GHz (Bands may be grouped into categories such as low- and high-band VHF (Very High Frequency), low- and high-band UHF (Ultra High Frequency), or certain frequency channels (measured in MHz or GHz). Generally, higher frequencies transmit information faster but have shorter range than lower frequencies.)
- Wireless Networking Standard: Wi-Fi 6 (The wireless networking standard used by the device. Each iteration of the standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance corresponds to an existing IEEE 802.11 protocol; for example, standard 802.11ac (or AC) is termed Wi-Fi 5. Refers specifically to the standard the device is designed to use, but ultimately determines product interoperability and backward compatibility including previous versions.)
- Wireless Standard: AX, AC, N (The wireless networking protocol used by the device. Each iteration of the protocol is based on the 802.11 standard developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards Association. Denoted by letters following 802.11 (802.11a, 802.11ac, etc.), each version, published in alphabetical order, encompasses all previous versions.)
- Number of 2.4Ghz Streams: 2 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. Because the 2.4 GHz band is used to transmit wireless signals to a wide variety of devices, there is often high amounts of traffic on that stream. But with multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 2.4 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a desktop computer, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that use more data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
- Number of 5.0Ghz Streams: 2 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. The 5.0 GHz band provides high speed, short-range data transmission and typically has less traffic than the 2.4 GHz band. With multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 5.0 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a streaming media player, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that need less data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
- Wi-Fi Mesh System: true (A single wireless network consisting of a main router (connected directly to a modem) that connects to a series of satellite modules or nodes placed around the home.

A: This range extender can support up to 8 devices in a mesh network.
Q: Can I create a mesh network with this device?
A: Yes, you can create a mesh network using this range extender with other AiMesh-compatible routers.
Q: What are the differences in the RP-AX56 and RP-AX58
A: RP-AX56 and RP-AX58 only differ in the fact that the AX58 has double the channels for 5GHz giving it more bandwidth throughput vs the AX56, other than that it is essentially the same AIMesh node.
A: So according to the quick start guide, it clearly says it is a LAN port for your PC. I am guessing the problem you might have is that if it is connected to your router in an AIMesh node setup, it might be attempting to utilize ethernet backhaul (how it communicates back to the router). You can go into your Asus interface under AIMesh, system settings and ensure that Ethernet Backhaul is turned off. If so, the AIMesh node *shouldn't* be trying to attempt to use this as a communication method to the router, and see this as an additional LAN port. The caveat is that the AIMesh node is communicating back to the router via wireless, which really won't give the LAN port a speed advantage as if it was connected via ethernet directly to the router.
Q: Does this work with Frontier fiber router?
A: undefined

AI Mesh is awesome, gaming isn't!
I have an Asus router with WiFi 7, and thought I'd grab this since it was relatively inexpensive and can expand my coverage. Unfortunately, my router is in the basement, and everything on the main level is great, but it's the top floor that becomes an issue for me. Installing this was super easy, no issues what so ever!!!! It was almost too easy, and it 100% increased my coverage, so much so I was sold on it! I went from 1 to 5 Mbps, to over 200 Mbps upstairs. And devices that connected to it on the main level anywhere from 600 to 800 Mbps. The problem was gaming, upstairs would cause packet burst, random lag, and stuff like that. I couldn't figure out why this kept happening and then I found out, it's dropping packets every so often. It's fine for movies, browsing, and stuff like that, but VOIP calls, and things that require real time synchronous data, it's not good. I gave it 3 stars because I mainly wanted this for gaming, which it failed at, but it did improve my connection, was easy to set up and the price was not bad.

Range Extender and Life Saver!
I was having some trouble with my WiFi calls and some lagging on my network powered by an Asus RT-AX82U. Range was also becoming an issue everytime I closed my front door and I live in just a simple 2 story townhome, 1700 sq ft. I purchased this range extender after some research and it matches same brand as my router. Setup was a bit of a pain, it would find RP-AX58, start connecting and Failed message. I literally hit Try Again, I saw it kept connecting faster to it each try so anyway, on the 4th try it worked and the other 3 remaining steps went fine. It matched the settings as my Asus router and the range now extends past my front door well into driveway and full bars in garage full of metal obstacles. Once a device is handed over to the RP-AX58, speeds are halved but range is extended as a result but I have 500 Mbps and videos on the extended range are just as smooth as you don't need that much to stream a YouTube video or music. Small note, I found there was an update on my router I didn't notice because I have auto-update turned off and that seemed to quell my lagging/latency WiFi issues. So with both of those new results combined, Wifi is much faster, smoother and further reaching.

ASUS RP-AX58 works!
This ASUS AiMesh Repeater was exactly what I needed to solve my connection issues! My ASUS router is on the main floor of my home, but my office is in the basement, where the signal would often fluctuate throughout the day. It got so bad that my Teams meetings would frequently drop. After researching options, I decided to try this repeater, and it worked perfectly! Setup was straightforward and hassle-free. If you need guidance, ASUS provides a helpful guide at asus.com/us/support/faq/1049739/. Highly recommend it for anyone struggling with weak or inconsistent Wi-Fi signals!
