TP-Link Archer AX73 AX5400 Dual-Band Gigabit Wi-Fi 6 Router

Description

The TP-Link Archer AX73 AX5400 Dual-Band Gigabit Wi-Fi 6 Router is a high-performance router designed for large homes and busy networks, delivering cutting-edge Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) connectivity. It offers combined dual-band speeds up to 5.4Gbps, with 4804Mbps on the 5GHz band (using 4T4R and HE160 for 160MHz channel width) for 8K streaming and gaming, and 574Mbps on the 2.4GHz band for everyday tasks. Powered by a 1.5GHz tri-core CPU, 512MB RAM, and 16MB flash, it ensures smooth handling of multiple devices with minimal latency.

Equipped with six non-removable high-performance antennas and beamforming, the Archer AX73 provides extensive Wi-Fi coverage, focusing signals toward devices for reliable connections through walls and across large homes. 4×4 MU-MIMO and OFDMA enable simultaneous data transmission to multiple devices, supporting up to 200+ devices with up to 4x greater capacity than Wi-Fi 5. The router features full Gigabit ports (1× 1000Mbps WAN, 4× 1000Mbps LAN) for ultrafast wired connections and a USB 3.0 port for media sharing or private cloud storage via FTP.

Security is robust with TP-Link HomeShield, offering real-time IoT protection, malware scanning, and advanced parental controls (some features require a subscription). It supports WPA3 encryption, guest network, and VPN client/server (OpenVPN, PPTP). OneMesh compatibility allows seamless network expansion with TP-Link OneMesh extenders. Setup is intuitive via the Tether app or web interface, with Alexa compatibility for voice control. The sleek design (approximately 272.5 × 147.2 × 49.2 mm, black with a glossy top and vented 167 cm² surface) ensures efficient heat dissipation. Powered by a 12V DC / 2.5A adapter, it operates from 0°C to 40°C, making it a reliable choice for modern, device-heavy networks.
