ASUS promotes pocket-sized mini routers for secure travel Wi-Fi

ASUS has introduced a lineup of compact mini routers designed for secure Wi-Fi access at home or on the go. Models like the RT-BE58 Go, RT-AX57 Go, and RT-AX50 Go offer high speeds, VPN protection, and portability. The company is running a giveaway for one of these devices through May 17.

ASUS mini routers provide secure, private Wi-Fi connections for small spaces such as apartments, coffee shops, or travel scenarios. These pocket-sized devices protect users from risks on public networks, enabling safe online banking, file uploads, and streaming. They support tri-mode connectivity, allowing use as a stationary router, public Wi-Fi repeater, or mobile hotspot via 4G/5G tethering, with automatic device reconnection for convenience. Users can switch modes easily, such as with a tap on the RT-BE58 Go, and benefit from USB-C PD charging for quick power-ups on trips. The RT-BE58 Go features Wi-Fi 7 technology with dual-band speeds up to 3,600 Mbps, 24/7 encryption, and VPN capabilities, measuring about 4.5 by 4 inches. The RT-AX57 Go delivers Wi-Fi 6 speeds up to 3,000 Mbps and weighs less than half a pound, ideal for remote work or offices. The lightest RT-AX50 Go, under 4 ounces and smaller than 3 square inches, prioritizes packability with plug-and-go setup and full VPN features. ASUS is hosting the Dream Your Travel Wi-Fi giveaway, open through May 17, 2026. Participants can post a social media photo of their dream travel moment using the ASUS web filter to enter for a chance to win one of the mini routers. No purchase is necessary, and full terms apply.
