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

The TP-Link Archer AX73 is a mid-to-upper mid range Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) router in TP-Link’s lineup. Its name implies a maximum “AX5400” throughput, which is the sum of theoretical rates across both bands (2.4 GHz + 5 GHz). It’s designed to serve homes or smaller offices that want strong wireless performance without going all the way to tri-band or multi-gig gear.

Wi-Fi 6 Upgrades Everything

The latest generation of Wi-Fi technology brings faster speeds, less lag, and higher capacity, enabling more simultaneous connections on your home network.

Warp Speed for Smooth 8K Streaming

Drastically improved speeds enable streaming, fast downloading, and gaming, all at the same time. Need to go faster? Hop on 5 GHz with full speed-boosting features to stream multiple 8K videos without lagging.

Extensive Wi-Fi Coverage with Advanced Technology

Enjoy stable Wi-Fi connections, even in the kitchen and bedroom. High-Power FEM, 6× Antennas, Beamforming, and 4T4R structures combine to adapt Wi-Fi coverage to perfectly fit your home and concentrate signal strength towards your devices.

Connect 200+ Devices

Easily handle dozens of devices streaming and gaming at the same time — OFDMA and MU-MIMO combine to future-proof your home network by providing greater capacity to connect more devices.

Designed to Be Cool

The slant rectangle atop of the scaled armor design provides a contemporary aesthetic. The vent design takes up 167 cm² (25 in²) of its top surface for improved heat dissipation, unleashing the whole machine’s full power.
