Asus RT-BE58U vs TP-Link Deco BE77

The Asus RT-BE58U wins on a lower price and a longer 3-year warranty against the Deco's two years, even though the TP-Link Deco BE77 earns the higher owner rating. Buyers who need its tri-band mesh capability may still prefer the Deco despite the higher cost.

Scale and spectrum. The TP-Link Deco BE77 is a tri-band mesh system rated at 17 Gbps combined with a 6 GHz band and ten internal antennas, while the Asus RT-BE58U is a single dual-band router with no 6 GHz band and a 3.6 Gbps ceiling.

Buy the TP-Link Deco BE77 for a large, device-heavy home where you will run more than one mesh node and want tri-band Wi-Fi 7 speed. Buy the Asus RT-BE58U for a single dependable Wi-Fi 7 router with WireGuard VPN at a lower price and a longer warranty.
