TP Link Archer AX73 AX5400 Wi-Fi 6 Router Review, Speed/Range Test, vs. AX50!

[@jlife9092]

Extremely professional presentation and great delivery of essential info. I’m impressed!

[@TechReflex]

Thank you. :)

[@omprakashsahu4798]

Aye that's me in the intro! by the way i have purchased this router and i am very much satisfied with it. Great product from tp link

[@TechReflex]

Yep.

[@TechnoMega]

Just got this a few months ago and its working flawlessly. I thinks its the best Dual Band router at that price category.

[@Diablomeister1]

Best tech review ever!! fast and to the point, no nonsense..

[@TechReflex]

Thanks :)

[@ObviousInit1]

I fully understand why you speak so quickly, to keep the review as short as possible without compromising on your review detail. Your STRONG Indian accent is very difficult to understand so the subtitles are a useful addition. There is one mistake in the subtitles, stating that the router has 6 NON removable antennas but the subtitles read removable antennas. Otherwise a good review. By the way, here in the UK its available at Amazon now at just £99.99 which is almost £50 cheaper than is typical for the suppliers that actually have it on the shelves. Incidentally thanks to your reviews I cancelled my order for the AX50 in favour of the AX73 router. I am CERTAIN that I won't be disappointed. Keep up the great work. The price must have been a special one day offer because it rose to £169. Sorry guys I suppose I was just lucky, "right place right time". UPDATE: Wow that price seems to have been a one day ONLY offer and I have had to wait what seems like a LONG time for delivery, (expected today) the cheapest I have seen the router since ordering is £179 so I got a real bargain, assuming it lives up to expectations.

[@balajig1261]

Can you compare this one with Archer AX72? AX72 is 2k less and have almost same feature.

[@josephvarghese4]

I have this router and I like it. Range of 5ghz is very good,it covers my 2 floor home..but didn't know the speed limit of this cause my internet speed is only 100mbps. I considered ax50 but heard about heating issue.

[@GordonSeal]

If you have a speed limit, then you have lightly the wrong settings in either the router or your laptop / phone.

Greetings.. I have an Asus RT-AC87U Router , nearly 7 years old. Over the years my devices have grown and recently added 3 Deco X60 in a mesh configuration as access points with ethernet back haul . I live in a large 5600 sq. ft. , 3 floor home (concrete floors , 12 inch brick walls) . The home is covered by cat 6 cabling , so all heavy media centers ( 1 home theater and 2 smaller setups , all 4K , Netflix , Hotstar , +++) are wired ( TV's , Roku's , 4 K Fire Sticks , Apple TV , NVidia ) . I am into home automation so have a number of 2.4 Ghz camera's , smart devices. I also have a Zigbee set up ( about 34 devices) on a HA server . There would be about 50 + WiFi devices and about 20 + wired devices accessing the internet ( thru the Deco Mesh and some on the Asus Router) . While about 40 devices access through the deco mesh , and 20+ are wired , all the DHCP protocols are handled by the Asus Router . I would like to upgrade the router , to one capable of handling multiple devices. The WiFi coverage is not very important as the Deco Mesh would cover the home . Any suggestions as to the path I should take ? Your thoughts most welcome. I live in Bangalore.

[@Freelancer604]

Very well made review, thank you. I have been comparing this with some asus routers and the nighthawk ones as a wifi6 hub for my home and Oculus quest 2. I think I'm going to go with this one because of its availability and price here in canada.

[@bhavik3497]

3:57 can be used as extender 1. Ethernet connection required 2. deviced connected would be considered in different network

[@TechReflex]

Ethernet doesn't count as wireless range extender (the feature that routers like the ones from Asus have), of course every router can be used as an access point with ethernet.

Hi i have a tp link archer c 60. I get good range in seperate rooms with concrete walls. But my android tv is getting poor signal and slow speed, while mobile phone gets good signal and speed in exact same location. Any suggestions?

[@ankurhazra2445]

It's because TV doesn't have good quality wifi recievers. Not the fault of the router, but that's why it's essential to use a range extender router near your tv unit to get a proper signal on the TV. I was having the same problem, that's y I had to install a range extender n place it close to the TV. That solved my problem.

Hey, need some headphone recommendations - HD 599 vs He400Se vs Shp9600

I think HE400SE should be the best, but it will require a headphone Amp to sound proper, unlike the other two (which also benefit from dedicated Amp, but should should sound good even directly on PC/phone).

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?

That's not bad speed for the second flat, so the best practice is to have less walls for a better signal?

@TechReflex Between Asus AX3000 and TP Link AX73, which is better in terms of throughput and adaptive QoS?

[@TechReflex]

Asus would be more feature rich and should generally be better, however, you may get more raw performance out of AX73. You could also spend slightly more and get Asus RT-AX82U or their new TUF router and you'll get performance of AX73 with Asus features.

Hi, I have a doubt. I can see TP link series like AX10, AX50 & now AX 73. My req is not high speed. The max speed suppt I need is less than 200Mbps. But I need ultimate coverage for 2 floors. Will AX73 have a significant difference in terms of coverage as well or if it is only speed I can go for AX 10 or 50. Could you please advise

[@ObviousInit1]

Simply put, what your ISP provides is your broadband, the speed is the speed, and you cannot change it without subscribing to a faster service. At the consumer end however wifi is only a means of connecting to the broadband service and other devices on your local network LAN and gateway i.e. where you connect to the internet. You want wider coverage and not extra speeds you should look at Mercusys Halo S12 (3-Pack) AC1200 Mbps whole home Mesh system. There are three access points and this will give you a wide area coverage more evenly spread across a wider area and it will cost you about £50 GBP www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=Mercusys+Mesh&crid=1MVVYV43P9EWO&sprefix=mercusys+mesh%2Caps%2C241&ref=nb_sb_noss_1

I bought it but USB drive access was too slow over the wifi, so I returned. Could you please make a video on ASUS AX3000 Dual Band WiFi 6 (802.11ax) Router, thinking to buy it.

[@TechReflex]

I just tried USB file transfer over Wi-Fi with my PC, and it reached up to 87 MB/s, but on my Android phone, the transfer was slower, so the USB port of the router isn't slow, but I think it's something related to how Android handles things, as I tried ftp mode and it was 12MB/s, which is quite slow. If you're going up to the AX3000, I'd definitely consider spending a bit more to get the RT-AX82U, as it is an amazing router that isn't too far in price from the AX3000. I could try to cover it, it's just that it's a bit older now.
