Overview
The ASUS RT-BE58 Go is a compact dual-band Wi-Fi 7 travel router designed for remote work, business travel, temporary network deployments, and home use. It supports IEEE 802.11be and offers a combined theoretical wireless rate of up to 3,600 Mbps across the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
The router supports wireless rates of up to 688 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 2,882 Mbps on 5 GHz. Wi-Fi 7 capabilities include Multi-Link Operation (MLO), 4096-QAM, and support for 160 MHz channel bandwidth. Its two external antennas and 2×2 transmit/receive configuration on each band support wireless connectivity for compatible client devices.
Connectivity includes one 2.5GbE WAN port, one Gigabit Ethernet LAN port, one USB-A port for compatible mobile tethering, and USB-C power input. Public Wi-Fi (WISP) mode lets the router connect to a compatible public wireless network and provide a separate private network. USB tethering supports compatible 4G and 5G mobile devices, making it useful where conventional broadband is unavailable.
Additional functions include ASUS AiMesh, Guest Network Pro, AiProtection Classic, parental controls, adaptive QoS, and VPN client and server capabilities. A physical slide switch supports quick function switching. The compact enclosure measures 99 × 111 × 36 mm and weighs 232 g, making the unit suitable for portable networking.

Product Note
The BE3600 designation represents combined theoretical wireless rates across both bands, not the throughput available to a single device. The router has one 2.5GbE WAN port and one Gigabit LAN port; wired LAN connections are limited to Gigabit Ethernet. It does not provide a 6 GHz wireless band. USB tethering compatibility, VPN protocols, and available operating modes depend on connected devices and firmware. Verify the regional power adapter, warranty terms, and supplied accessories before ordering.
