- TP-Link Archer AX73, AX5400 Dual-Band Gigabit Wi-Fi 6 Router - amzn.to/3e3aNW3
TP-Link sent over their brand new Archer AX73 for me to use for a couple weeks and review. This Wi-Fi 6 route packs a lot of features for a reasonable price.
The TP-Link AX5400 is not only a reasonably priced Wi-Fi 6 router, but it also has a lot of other features including security features, parental controls, device priority, and more.
After a couple weeks of usage, it is easy to recommend the TP-Link AX5400 (Archer AX73) to anyone who wants to get started in the Wi-Fi 6 world and to future proof their new products.

Great reviews! First saw your AX90 review. I've ordered AX73 and now I realized you already have AX73 review and I'm happy like a kid in funfair. (or like an adult buying the dip at bitcoin)
haha awesome! Hope it works well for you
Used this since march... I got full speed on my 300mbps connection constantly and with 10+ devices constantly using the network, i can even game online without any lag or spikes at all... Best router ever used
Glad to hear it!
Unsafe router use asus
No youre not !!!@@dad.0

Brought AX73 / AX5400 Before this video came up it's amazing and the reviews are honestly really Honest.
Glad to hear it!
I purchased this router. I can't wait to get it and hook it up. Thanks for your video.
Such an amazing video. Nicely made and your voice is very calming. I like that! I wonder when you will make a follow up video. :)
really nice job reviewing this. You have a great voice and nice edits. I subbed and your channel will go far!
Much appreciated!
Great review! Would love a tiny bit more tech specs, Mbit per band for example. Subscribing!
Hello, one question for this router. I want to connect my AT&T fiber to this router, can I use the TP-Link Gigabit SFP to RJ45 Fiber Media Converter with the Single Mode module?
I just bought it yesterday. The speed is between 630-730. The router is placed on the ground floor, and I'm upstairs, so yeah, the coverage it's very good. Using it with 2 Wi-Fi6 devices and 9 basic Wi-FI devices.
Great to hear!
@@NikoStark1 yes, it’s still rock solid. The Wi-Fi range it’s very good and the speed it’s amazing. On my laptop with a Wi-Fi 6 card now it’s very fast after some updates. I have speeds between 800-900mbs/s and on my iPhone and iPad I have 600/700. For example I’m downloading most of the games with 80-84mb/s. It’s so fast that I don’t need a cable connection anymore.
@@NikoStark1 no problem.
@@RACAPEyoo dude! I know it’s been 1 year you responded to this but I got the WiFi 6E Tri band version and it is still going strong?? 🙂
@@Obikenobi93HD hi! Yes, it's still strong. I had no issues. Never had a problem with it
ASUS XT8 has been a godsend! I have fiber 1gb speeds and meshing 2 in a 4000sq foot ranch style home with 15 connected devices gives me 500mb/s speeds in furthest rooms.. I have Wi-Fi outside.. it’s triband with no speed buffering.. you can game, stream.. whatever without lag. I had 5 google Wi-Fi pods spreading crap signal around the house before. Without having 5 pods I couldn’t get signal downstairs.. the furthest room had signals of 13-18mb/s. I’m knocked backwards by this router. Took 2 seconds to install. So simple and so fast I can take my Ethernet switches and chuck them!
Great review! Just bought one, loving the range and speed over my provider's modem/router combo.
Hi! may i know which modem did you pair it with for optimal performance? Many thanks!
How far can you go before you lose signal? I have a wireless security camera which is about 25 metres away from my current router (which is a standard one given to me by our ISP) and it only JUST gets signal to work. Would this router give me a stronger signal to that camera?
ax73 ❤ i'm using this router for my warehouse (just this router NO repeaters)
When is the long term review coming?
Got the Tplink Archer Ax4400 🤗
Like me I have my 3G modem in the window boosting wifi coverage
Hi, the parental control has any subdcribtion or free?
not gonna turn any heads? bro this be turning all the heads in my house lmao love it
haha I stand corrected
So question can I just connect this to the wall and just plug the Ethernet cable to my gaming console or do I have to have it connected to my wifi box??
if you can compare this one to asus ax56u, which obe is better? tp link has faster wifi but asus has better hardware /software. what is more important in real life? wifi speed or hradware?
If you buy two of these, can you use them in a mesh?
Waiting for your longer term review ❤️
are this router support mesh the TP-Link own auto connect I need connect to extender wifi6
hey can you show how to setup the USB port for media sharing if you can?
Should I switch on ofdma on my tp link ax5400? I have 4 iPhones on a switcher app on my iPad mini m1 going through the AX73 into a m6 netgear.
Can you set up which channel WiFi 6 is running on like you can with 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz manually? Or is WiFi 6 just automatic? Am I correct in thinking WiFi 6 is 6Ghz??
How did this router hold up?
Streamlabs obs with android streamlabs deck does it work?
this wifi 6 and wifi 6e different ? does it matter the extra e ?
Does this have a setup for PPP information for isps tbe require login information
Thank you for a very professional review. In fact, Dad.0, you are one of the most exceptional presenters on CZcams. *** I have used TP-Link equipment since 2015. I found TP-Link to be a better value than NetGear or other major brands. So, I am looking to TP-Link for a new wireless router. But I was torn between various TP-Link models. I was leaning toward the TP-LINK AX 1800 (AX21) for $90 (any opinion on the AX21?) ... but the AX73 sounds awesome (even if $200). Again thanks for a great review! HOWEVER I WISH you would have provided some info about the USB 3 port. I'd love to see what the USB 3 is used for.
Thank you! I've heard great things about the AX21. The only negative I have heard is that it can get really warm/hot when pushed.
@@dad.0 Thanks Dad for the info about the AX21. Overheating doesn't sound good. I push my network system. I best bite the bullet for the AX73.
ax73 is around 110-120€ here....
Great review. Was looking into this router and you covered everything. Thanks
I just got this a couple of days ago. It is working fine, however, I am only able to connect to the 2.4 GHz network on my PC, which is connected from the router to my PC by an ethernet cord. I have to do a direct connect because I use my PC for VR. Am I correct in thinking that my PCP’s are only able to connect to a 2.4 GHz network via an ethernet cord? Thanks in advance. 🎉🎉
I got this the other day and while performance has topped my previous router, it drops wifi a lot. So much that it's unusable. The TP-link forum mentions this a lot without a fix ☹
Can you connect this router to the TP-Link Deco S4 AC1200 Whole-Home Mesh Wi-Fi System?
Great review! I do have a quick question about the router's settings customization. Do you happen to know if you're able to disable either of the wireless radios in the app settings? I'm currently using a Netgear router, and the Netgear router login app/website provides the option to disable the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz radios completely. I turn off my router's 2.4Ghz band because it interferes with the connection to my wireless Xbox headset's 2.4Ghz USB transmitter. If I don't disable my router's 2.4Ghz band, I experience severe disconnections when using my headset. Fortunately, every device in my house that's not wired directly to the router operates on the 5Ghz band, so disabling the 2.4Ghz band isn't a big deal.
Try using different 2.4 hz frequency
How does this compare to the new Archer AX72 Pro
Just so you know my friend, the separate WAN port on the back is 2.5 Gb, not just a Gb . I just got the tri band version of this router so my Xbox series x can be on the 6 GHZ frequency alone . Great review tho 🙌🏼
Thanks for the info
does it work with nbn trpg havent bought a modem in yearfs
Does it have a good range?
Compare this with Asus TUF Gaming AX5400 (TUF-AX5400)
Its on a big sale in my country 130$ so i was thinking on perhaps getting 2 for a mesh system. Or would it be better to go for TP-LINK Deco x60 that is also on sale???
haven't heard great things about the Deco lineup
will this router work with Starlink internet sevice?
What modem do u use with it
Seems like a nice router on a medium budget.
It's time to look for a good 802.11ax adapter including BT. From some reviews "Asus PCE-AX58BT" ~70$ and "TP-Link Archer TX3000E" ~50$ (or TX50E without wired antenna) looks OK. TP-Link is 20$ cheaper. More importantly, both WLAN and BT should be stable. I've read some "constant disconnect problems" from WLAN and BT (espacially BT). Because of that some people sticks to Wi-Fi 5 again. Overall reviews are good. Do you have any words about adapters?
I haven't tried any out personally but you make some great points
Will you be reviewing the Surface Pro 7 + ? I traded my 15'6 - 2020 Razer Blade with the 2060 graphics card for a SP7+ i5 8GB of RAM. I wasn't using the Razer any for heavy gaming. (I played Super Mario World for the SNES) I bought it because it looked cool and the screen was buttery smooth at 144hz but it was overkill for my needs. I've always liked the idea of the Surface Pro the pen and all. Plus it's more portable too.
I will try to get my hands on it. I have the new Surface Laptop 4 on its way
how setup that router as wireless extender
Debating this router TP-Link Archer AX73 or

Great video! I'm thinking to buy the AX73 or AX90. Since you have used both, which one do you recommend? The AX90 is really better than AX73 to worth the price?
Hi bro, what did you choose?
@@jesusqc2233 Hey! I choose AX73, but I didnt like the signal. So I sold it and buy an Asus ax86u
CAN THIS BE USED AS A WIFI EXTENDER
Does this work for PC streaming?
Thanks for this quality review! It's been a couple months... Still happy with it?
It's about time for me to pull the trigger on a router for my new home and this seems to fit the bill.
yup, I am still liking it an has provided consistent speeds so far
@@dad.0 Awesome-- thanks! It's on sale at $152 for Prime Day, so I figure it's worth a shot. Any notable issues with WiFi dropping or anything?
Hello... How many mobiles can this router carry?
TP-Link Archer AX73 security feature (homesheild) comes with subscription basics , which will cost user pockets later. what is your suggestion on that
yup, subscriptions seem to be the norm. I haven't tried it yet personally
Can i connect RJ11 for adsl connection?
Can this be used without a Cell Phone App?
Merci très intéressant comme présentation.
I'm having problems with this router where the 5ghz network disconnects and does not appear on certain devices while working perfectly fine on others. Have you experienced something like this? Do you know how I may be able to fix this issue?
Go in router setting . And change the bandwidth
Any update on long term review
is this Growling Sidewinder?
I bought this router & can not find anywhere what the front last two status lights are. One looks like a USB logo, but the last one is a mystery. I was hoping this video mentioned what each status light is. Can't find it anywhere.
iam not getting good speed in 2.4 ghz once please check it how to get speed for this router
I can't decide between ASUS TUF-AX5400 vs Tp-Link Archer AX73. The specification is very similar, but I'm interested in stability and WIFI coverage. Maybe someone can share the experience.
So which one you bought?
Do u need wifi already to use this
what happens of you lose internet and you need to configure your router? can configure with a lan port?
Yes
Vs the archer 90 TRI band? Which would you say is better or does it matter that much?
IMO, it’s not that important unless you got loads (like 30-50 devices)
Is this router backwards compatible meaning will it hook up to a older computer without a Wi-Fi 6 modem. Thanks
Yes
I'm seeing hardware v2 and v1 in AX73 support page, does it affect performance?!?
No
Is dual band still ok in 2021 or should I go try band?
depends on how many wireless devices you have but for most average residential users dual band is just fine
Is the tether app required? I only want the admin interface to be accessible from the green side of the wired network.
Same question. Can it be configured without the tether app ? If so, how ?
Great question, you'd assume they'd have a web portal. However, I can't find documentation of it (they really push the app). I'm sure if you ask their support they could get you that answer.
works great i am getting 760-800 down and arround same up speed, and its standing1 floor above me, my girlfriends pc 1 floor below the router but on the other side of the house 1 floor and 4 walls inbetween she now has 300-422 down and arround 200 up, on our stock modem wifi, she had arround 2-30 up/down so its alot better and i did not even place the routher perfect yet, it just sits on the floor with the modem because i just installed it. my pc is connected to wifi6e and her's is on 5ghz her asus motherboard have wifi6 with antenna but i cant find the wifi6 network, not sure yet if it's not finding it because of range or because of software issue, i updated wifi drivers but dont work yet, but she really dont care, but my OCD tells me i have to fix it haha!
Love the tutorial cause I’m thinking about grabbing the router cause I have spectrum ultra that I get 600 mbps download an 30 to 40 upload so I’m just wondering if my speeds will get better cause I’m tired of having dropped signal from the spectrum router an just being 2 rooms away when I have 11 devices to support in my house cause I also have kids that come over every weekend
tough to say without analyzing your home and wifi congestion in your area but, in theory, it should help
That’s because spectrum doesn’t do matching on upload and download speeds. AT&T fiber does , but 600 is crazy good man.
I’m unhappy with 33mbs in the Uk. Ive got one of these coming tomorrow and don’t really know if it will make a difference.
It should!
It's been a year since this review
Hopefully you can provide an update video
will it cover 400 sqm one-floor house? if not which router will do ?
It should. Obviously depends on what type of structure it is but it is rated to cover that area
Hi, I looked through your channel but couldn't find any second video you mentioned about in this video. I am planning to buy this router and was wondering is it still good or not .
Hey - sorry I took a break but yes, it is still going strong for me
@@dad.0 cheers mate.
I bought this and the range was shocking. Couldn't get past the first door. It sat behind the TV, so I wonder if the TV was interfering with its signal. In any case, its clear from your review that there must have been something stopping that signal from going around a corner (L shaped lounge), through the door and into a bedroom in the house. If you have any tips on what else might have been impeding its performance it would be appreciated
What about that usb 3 port
Hi! Thanks for the informative video. I have just purchased this router and have a question. I have a 200 mbps up/down plan and I am getting the speed until I am not too far from the router. But if I am 2 rooms away, my download is still strong at full 200mbps but upload reduces by about 30-50%. Can you please confirm if it's the same for you? I ha e checked on 3 different wifi 6 enabled devices. Thanks!
6:48 THIS is so true!!!...So many of us got moved to work from home this year and found out quickly our router sucks LOL 😂
Yup, I am one of them
2:45 it's 5.4 gigaBITS per second. Still very impressive though.
Good catch. Slip of the toughen there
@@dad.0 thanks for the video btw, bought this router yesterday. Will install it in a couple of hours, I hope it will play nicely with my NAS (and all the brickwalls we have around here).
@@georgedomse Good luck! Let me know how it works out for you
@@dad.0 so first impressions are mixed. Setup was like a breeze (I used the Tether app, the barcode didn't work, had to setup manually).
The first quirk was, that out of the box you cannot configure 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz frequencies separately, you have to disable Smart Connect first. Without this there is only 1 mixed frequency visible which may or may not be compatible with older devices (like my smart AC). Also, my son uses a somewhat older Samsung Galaxy Tab A which dropped in performance, I cannot seem to get the full network speed out of it (max 300Mbits should be available, but it caps at 72 Mbits). My Phone reaches 400-450 Mbits, my laptop (with an Intel AX200 module) goes up to 920Mbits.
Will dig deeper.
hello sir how many antennas are for 5ghz band
4 (5ghz), 2 (2.4ghz)
He support fiber optic ?
Will this work with 4G router?
Im confused i have this router but no option of wifi6 band ? Did i do something wrong ?
Wifi 6 runs on 2.4 and 5ghz bands. 6E adds the 6ghz
Douse it come with a ethernet cable?
Yes, with a Cat.5E
thx
Can it be used as a repeater?
No
Did you not have a chance to do a follow up?
not yet but hopefully soon!
I bought this recently. My internet plan is 600mb and I'm getting only around 30mbps on wi-fi 2.4ghz and under 300mbps on wi-fi 5ghz with this router (in the same room). The modem provided from the ISP also has wifi and I can get over 640mbps when connected to it. I tried setting the modem as bridge and using ppoes access from the router, I tried setting the router and an AP. I tried turning qops off.
I can't figure out what's wrong, why my ax73 wi-fi is so slow. It works normally wired.
I'm starting to suspect faulty antenna or something.
Hmm I just got mine, I’m paying for 300mbs and I get about 326mbs with this router.. Yeah I noticed the plastic around the antenas was hard to get rid off, it was frustrating, didn’t want to break them so I took my time..
@@Randii225 what speed do you get over 2.4ghz wifi?
@@SatoriHaddad In the same room ? I get about 80mbs..
@@SatoriHaddad can you turn
Off the router completely from inside the modem ?
By the way I’m using bridge mode as well with this router. Primary router is in the living room this one is in my room. Both routers showing same speeds when in the same room.
Do I need a modem as well?
Yes it depends on modem.
Is good for ps5?
Update on this video??
hi sir I like to help me about wifi6 and wifi5 i want to combine working together but wifi5 is a network provider can work together? If can help me with video doing that send to me i want to upgrade to wifi6 boost my wifi5 cause i created hotsopt business around my neighborhood here in South Africa
Hey, I just bought this device and it says on the back the model is Archer AX73(EU) Ver:1.0. Do you know if there is a newer version of this router? I would not want to miss out on some functionality due to ordering an older version of the device in case a newer one has been released.
You started the video out saying it is a dual-band router. I thought it was supposed to be a tri-band. ?
where wisp mode
Does it have heating issue? Their Ax50 is like a heater
Not so far, there is quit a bit of ventilation holes across the design
@@dad.0 great, thanks. AX50 has throttling issues as it heats a lot. Looking forward to buy this one, Did you get a chance to try USB 3.0 what kind of speeds does it give?
@@dad.0 one last question, can we configure it to use vpn natively on it? From my vpn provider.
I keep my Ax50 raised with foot pads on each corner to help a bit with the heat. But yea it gets too hot.
@@varuntis1993 I haven't used the USB 3.0 port yet and the VPN is OpenVPN used through the Tether App
