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

The Archer AX73 sits above TP-Link’s entry-level Wi-Fi 6 routers, aimed at larger homes or households running dozens of devices simultaneously — smart TVs, gaming consoles, laptops, and IoT devices all connected at once without slowdown.

Speed That Actually Holds Up

Combined speeds reach up to 5378 Mbps, 4804 Mbps on 5GHz (using HE160 and 4T4R technology) and 574 Mbps on 2.4GHz. Independent testing found the AX73 maintains stable throughput even under prolonged stress with multiple simultaneous 4K streams and large file transfers, without thermal throttling a direct result of its larger heatsink and improved ventilation design.

Processing Power

A 1.5GHz triple-core CPU with 512MB RAM keeps the router responsive under heavy multi-device load, officially rated to support 200+ connected devices.

Coverage For Bigger Spaces

Six high-performance antennas paired with beamforming and 4T4R structure extend stable Wi-Fi into rooms that typically struggle with signal kitchens, bedrooms, and multi-floor layouts.

Storage And Sharing Built In

A USB 3.0 port lets you connect an external drive for network-wide file sharing or basic private cloud storage useful for households sharing photos, videos, or backups across multiple devices.

Security

TP-Link HomeShield (Free Basic Plan included) actively monitors for network threats and provides IoT device protection, alongside WPA3 encryption support.

Wired Connectivity

1 Gigabit WAN port and 4 Gigabit LAN ports handle wired connections for desktops, consoles, and smart TVs at full speed.

Extra Features

• OneMesh compatible for future whole-home mesh expansion
• TP-Link Tether app for setup, guest access, and parental controls
• Improved thermal design with additional venting for sustained performance
