Reviews & Awards

Reviews
  • The 5 GHz signal on the Archer AX73 is really strong!

    The 5Ghz signal on the Archer AX73 is really strong! The 5Ghz coverage and performance are faster and stronger than every single AX3000 wireless router that we’ve tested on this site. The performance is also stable and consistently replicable throughout our review. The Archer AX73 also runs really cool and stable in our test. It’s because TP-Link used a much larger heatsink and added more ventilation. This is why the Archer AX73 is so big and heavy! In fact, it barely heats up even on prolonged stress tests and certainly much cooler than the infamous Archer AX50.

Press Release: Archer AX73—The Top Structure and Full Bandwidth Build for an Ultra-Fast 5.4 Gbps WiFi Network 

†Maximum wireless signal rates are the physical rates derived from IEEE Standard 802.11 specifications. Actual wireless data throughput and wireless coverage are not guaranteed and will vary as a result of network conditions, client limitations, and environmental factors, including building materials, obstacles, volume and density of traffic, and client location.

‡Use of Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), and features including OFDMA, 1024-QAM, or HE160 require clients to also support the corresponding features.160 MHz bandwidth may be unavailable on the 5 GHz band in some regions/countries due to regulatory restrictions.

§Archer AX73 can connect 128 devices on the 5 GHz band, and 96 devices on the 2.4 GHz band. Performance may vary depending on the applications and environmental factors.

*HomeShield includes the Free Basic Plan. Fees apply for the Pro Plan. Visit tp-link.com/homeshield for more information.

**Use of MU-MIMO requires clients to also support the corresponding feature.

***This router may not support all the mandatory features as ratified in Draft 3.0 of IEEE 802.11ax specification.

****Further software upgrades for feature availability may be required.
