Our Verdict

TP-Link Archer BE230

ASUS RT-BE58 Go

The TP-Link Archer BE230 and the ASUS RT-BE58 Go are dual-band Wi-Fi 7 routers designed for different purposes. The TP-Link is a standalone router designed for smaller homes and has five Ethernet ports, while the ASUS is a travel router with a compact body, folding antennas, and two Ethernet ports. Performance-wise, the two deliver similarly good close-range speeds, but the TP-Link has significantly better range, making it much better suited for larger areas.
