Review on WiFi router TP-LINK Archer AX73, black by Chun Hee Kim ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I don't recommend buying this product, there's nothing to praise here.

Although I had read and heard a lot of positive reviews about TP-Links, I did not opt to get one of these routers when I moved since I was not satisfied with the performance of this particular model. I installed the new Kinetic, set everything up in accordance with the instructions in the manual, and tested all of the speeds via Wi-Fi in every room of the apartment that was still quite old. When compared to Kinetic, the speed is approximately 2.5 times faster with Wi-Fi trendy; consequently, everything flies and flutters, which is wonderful. The incident took place when a stationary PC was connected to the router using a cable (from the kit, of course) — the speed dropped every N-th time, the pings were absurd, and it was evident that there were some kind of issues. The entirety of the evening spent picking with the TP belonging to the provider, as well as the entirety of the morning spent picking with the TP belonging to TP-Link, directed me to check the operation mode of the LAN ports belonging to the router as well as the network card when set to MANUAL mode. Gigabit, full duplex, 100mb/full duplex and other modes, it would appear that the router and the network card are unable to come to an agreement on the operating mode; this is the likely cause of the glitches. There are zero problems when returning to the Kinetic after it has been reset to factory settings; everything flies according to the lan even when there are three different cables being used. The question that must be asked is: Why would a company bring a raw product to market that also contains raw firmware?

Pros
  • Wi-Fi of the highest possible quality
Cons
  • Very uncooked firmware.
