The TP-Link Archer AX73 is a dual-band Gigabit Wi-Fi 6 router with speeds up to 5400 Mbps. It uses a 4T4R and HT160 structure to deliver up to 4.8 Gbps on the 5 GHz band. MU-MIMO and OFDMA technologies manage congestion so the router can connect 200+ devices.
Six antennas, Beamforming and a high-power FEM provide broad, stable coverage. The router has improved venting areas for cooling. A USB 3.0 port supports media sharing and building a private cloud.
HomeShield by Avira provides parental controls and IoT security. The router also offers DDoS attack prevention, which blocks requests from enlisted IPs, and Quality of Service (QoS) to prioritize devices. It works with TP-Link OneMesh to build a whole-home Wi-Fi network, and the Tether app handles setup and management. Performance and compatibility may vary with network conditions and connected devices.
