Review on WiFi router TP-LINK Archer AX73, black by Riko Doi ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

More WiFi-6 technologies are involved here than, for example, in AX20, so there are nuances when using old clients and new ones at the same time. As I understand it, the old ones most of all dislike switching to some channels - they simply cannot connect to the network for quite some time. It is solved by forcibly setting the channel on which all devices work. Perhaps the DFS mechanism does not get along well with old clients . However, I've been using it for several days, perhaps I haven't figured everything out yet and I'll change my mind about something. I also found a limitation of the miniDLNA server - if there are several tens of thousands of files and folders on the disk, then DLNA will not show more than 10,000 (even a little less). In general, the device gives speed and stability higher than the AX20, but a few older clients worked a little better for me on the AX20. However, this is most likely due to Airtime Fairness - this feature strangles the old people, giving more data to newer devices. So, in general, a good device, it works stably so far. He would have software like an asus (from Merlin or Gomez :)) - it would be a bomb .

Pros
  • Excellent coverage even on WiFi 4/5. Full support for WiFi 6 technologies. Powerful, fast, cool and stable. Supports OneMesh, HomeShield, USB 3.0, LAN Port Aggregation. DFS channels 52-64 and 100-144 are available. Four years warranty. Brilliant value for money (and with discounts in general the plague!).
Cons
  • You should pay attention to the decent dimensions of the device - this is important when choosing the installation location. The software, as always with TP-Link, is quite simple, focused on the average user. But included - and do not worry. The USB port is fast, wired - about 75 MB / s for me, but does not support cellular modems and printers. There is no torrent client either.
