ASUS RT-AX57 GO AX3000 WiFi 6 5G Dual-band Router

The ASUS RT-AX57 GO is built around a specific real-world problem: giving 5G mobile broadband users a proper Wi-Fi 6 network without buying a separate modem. It accepts a 5G SIM directly, meaning anyone relying on mobile internet — whether in a rural property, a temporary rental, or as a broadband backup — gets dual-band AX3000 Wi-Fi distributed around their home rather than everyone huddling near a single dongle. That's a genuinely useful capability that cheaper 4G routers simply can't match on speed or future-proofing.

Who Is This For?

This router suits renters, people in areas with poor fixed-line infrastructure, or anyone using 5G home broadband who wants to extend a proper wireless network rather than rely on a mobile hotspot. It's also a credible backup router for households that can't afford broadband downtime. If you already have a stable fibre connection and a capable router, there's no case for switching — the 5G SIM functionality is the entire point here, and without it you're paying a premium for a mid-range wireless router.

What Buyers Say

Owners of the RT-AX57 GO consistently praise the straightforward ASUS setup app and the reliability of the 5G connection management, which handles network switching more gracefully than many rivals. The ASUS AURA interface and AiProtection security features also earn regular mentions. The most common frustration is the lack of a 6GHz band — this is Wi-Fi 6, not Wi-Fi 6E — so in very congested environments the 5GHz band can feel constrained, and USB port functionality is limited compared to pricier ASUS models.

The Deal

At £58.99, reduced from £69.99, you're saving £11 — around 16% off. This is a newly tracked product on our end, so there's no historical price data to confirm whether that "was" price is a genuine regular retail figure. The open-box grading — professionally tested, factory reset, near-pristine condition — is worth factoring in positively given ASUS build quality. For 5G home broadband users, this is a sensible price for capable hardware; just go in knowing what you're buying for. For more networking and smart home options, browse our smart home deals guide.
