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

TP-Link Archer AX73 is an AX5400 dual-band Wi-Fi 6 router built for larger homes that need stronger coverage and higher speeds than mid-range AX3000-class routers like the Archer AX55 can offer.

Wi-Fi 6 Speed And Coverage

It delivers combined wireless speeds up to 5.4 Gbps 4804 Mbps on the 5GHz band using 4T4R and HE160 technology, and 574 Mbps on the 2.4GHz band using Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax). MU-MIMO and OFDMA let it support 200+ connected devices with reduced congestion, while six external antennas with Beamforming extend coverage across larger homes.

Ports, Security And Device Capacity

On the wired side, it includes 1 Gigabit WAN port, 4 Gigabit LAN ports, and 1 USB 3.0 port for media sharing or private cloud storage. TP-Link HomeShield adds a home network scanner, QoS, parental controls, and detailed network reports, and the router supports VPN Client functionality (OpenVPN, PPTP, L2TP) for secure remote access. A vented cooling design keeps performance stable during extended use.

• TP-Link HomeShield — Network scanner, QoS, parental controls, and detailed reports.
• VPN Client Support — OpenVPN, PPTP, and L2TP for secure remote access.

This makes the Archer AX73 a strong pick for larger homes or households running many connected devices at once smart home gadgets, streaming boxes, and multiple phones and laptops. Buyers with smaller homes or fewer devices may find the Archer AX55 (AX3000) gives sufficient speed at a lower cost.

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.
