I didn't expect the quality to be so high.

The router is just top! Seriously, without stupid advertising, this is just an unrealistic router, especially for its price. Before buying, I read a lot of reviews here on . I filtered by negative ones and was surprised that some write about frequent reboots of the router, signal interruption, etc. - guys, you just got a marriage, why write a negative review right away. The manufacturer provides a 4-year warranty for this! Just change it to work. Marriage and among iPhones comes across among…

Pros
  • - The data transfer rate is honest 500 Mb / s at 5 GHz, the speed does not cut. - The signal never breaks - Radius of action. At the other end of the apartment, where the previous router did not catch 2.4 GHz at all, 5 GHz catches 1 scale, but the Internet still flies, despite the smaller range of the 5 GHz frequency as a whole. - In short: set and forget
Cons
  • - The size. The router is quite bulky, but this is probably due to the top-end hardware. No more cons!

The product is of good quality, there is only one minor defect.

Before that, I had an Archer 1200 v1 router and, in principle, suited everyone, with the exception of the coverage area and signal strength. In the back room, the signal disappeared, I had to do it through a repeater (but it cuts the speed). I read the review of this router, I was interested in support for wi-fi 6, higher speeds, new encryption protocols (WPA3), the presence of as many as 6 antennas, the appearance again. I looked at the price - 7K, acceptable for me, I saw "gaming" routers for

Pros
  • + Wi-Fi 6, WPA3 support + simple and convenient setup + 4 year warranty, 2022 technical support + appearance + price
Cons
  • - range and signal strength - incompatibility with some devices

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…

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.

The right product for me, there were no problems.

I especially liked the one mesh technology - signal extenders united into one network with a router. Parental control is top, but some features are available by subscription. Free: Website blocking, Content filter, Bedtime. Paid: Time limit and shutdown time. Subscription 4290r per year. As a hard drive I use - HDD TOSHIBA Canvio Basics 2TB. To play files, I use the VLC player application. 4K movies from the hard drive loads without problems. Unfortunately, the router does not show the free%…

Pros
  • - Signal range - wifi 6 latest generation at the moment - Transfer rate - Appearance - Number of antennas - Parental control - Ability to control connected devices - Traffic prioritization - USB port that has the ability to connect an external hard drive - It is possible to create a guest network - Time Machine support - One mesh technology - Convenient application
Cons
  • - Part of the parental control feature is paid (off time and time limits) - Shows only the total capacity of the connected usb drive. As far as I know from the reviews, this is normal for this model. Well, as far as I know from the same reviews ax50 - shows these data.

Nothing special, there are positives and negatives.

Impressions yes this moment positive. But a huge residue remained from the outdated version 1.0. It is necessary to read the ZOP, whether an outdated version is a reason for a return.

Pros
  • I liked everything that is indicated in the TTX.
Cons
  • I bought a router at the end of June 2022. the hardware version is V1 on the box, and V7 is already on the manufacturer's website. It was very annoying - it looks like I bought junk for a lot of money! In the product card, not a word about the version of the router was indicated.

Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

Great router! Good value for money. I advise those who have 3-room apartments and houses. I break through 3 concrete walls - the TV in the kitchen holds an HD picture without any problems when watching Internet TV.

Pros
  • Powerful antennas - signal level and transmission speed at the maximum where there were always problems with the previous DIR-615S. WiFi 6. Support for multi-stream data transfer. Powerful processor. Supports Mesh technology. Affordable price for such functionality, especially considering the discounts of the store (I took it for 5250)
Cons
  • Not

Unsatisfactory, upset by this product.

Constant reboots of TP-LINK got tired, as a result I bought a Beelink mini-PC on a 4-core Celeron N5095 2GHz (2.9GHz) and a TP-LINK TL-SG108E switch with VLAN support and made a router on them. As a result, the router turned out to be quite expensive, but a 4K TV is connected to it, you can work and watch YouTube. The Archer AX73 itself is used in AP (Access Point) mode. It should be noted that the router turned out under Windows, at first I wanted to use pfSense, but I decided to try to do it…

Pros
  • quick
Cons
  • Big, but most importantly - it spontaneously reboots, while, of course, the connection is broken. Sometimes it happens several times a day, sometimes it works without interruption for several days. I don’t recommend it to anyone as a router, as an access point - it’s normal, but it’s expensive to use as an AP. The manufacturer constantly writes that the reboot is due to unstable power supply, but I have a mega-stable power supply. I think the problem with the crooked software is probably low-quality RAM. But the router itself has a minimum of tools for any diagnostics. I would like to have a more open software than the one used in TP-LINK.

Great value for the money, definitely recommended!

Acquired on December 08, 2022. For a year - the flight is normal, it works like a clock (pah-pah-pah). It doesn't get hot. In terms of signal strength: while it works in a single room of 37 m2, at a rate of 200 Mbps anywhere on any device (5 or 6 Wi-Fi), the speed is 200 Mbps at a frequency of 5 MHz. If you leave the apartment, then moving away 10-11 meters along the common corridor (+ a closed door and 2 (and in fact maybe more) concrete walls, a smartphone (with 5 wi-fi) works at a speed of…

Pros
  • Wi-Fi 6, gigabit (a reserve for the future), punchy enough
Cons
  • Slightly bulky, "perforated" case.

Satisfactory product quality, good price.

In general, the same router as the Archer C9, which has been discontinued for 3 years already, the results are basically the same, except for the quality of coverage of wifi zones, and the Archer AX73 has practically no coverage drop, the area of ​​​​the apartment is 62m2. Based on the pricing policy of C9 and AX73, AX73 is worth its money, C9 at one time cost several times more. After reading a lot of reviews, I made my personal measurements, the provider provides a speed of 600 Mbit / s, AX73

Pros
  • The quality of wifi coverage, even through walls and at a distance of 10-15 meters from the router, is practically unchanged.
Cons
  • HomeShield is paid, and even the price is not quite adequate. Compared to the previous conquest of routers, Archer C9 does not have paid subscriptions.

Excellent product, the best quality.

A very handy device. Sets up quickly, doesn't get hot, and works stably on WiFi 6 without problems. The signal is stable, having overcome the wall in bricks + 20 cm of monolithic concrete + 10 cm of gypsum and at a distance of 15 m, the speed dropped by 15% only, and with D-link there the connection did not work at all .

Pros
  • Everything in it is perfect. Ease of setup. Transmitter power, wireless and wired Internet speed. It is possible to turn off the LED indicators according to the schedule. It is possible to overload and ate according to the schedule. It is possible to build a scaled coverage system on such devices. The speed in the phone connection shows 4000Mbps.
Cons
  • there is no support for a USB 4G modem, but if you really find fault with it .

A great option for this money, one of the best offers.

For this price, the WiFi6 option for a one-story private house is just great. For a house, you need to take more with extra. amplifiers or build a Mesh system.

Pros
  • Clear strong signal. Where the kinetic ultra showed 2-7 Mbps when connected to a weak TV box (Mi TV Box S), here I see stable 90Mbps, 4K channels switch without delay.
Cons
  • A small number of settings and options in the firmware. It is for those who like to just install it and have it work right out of the box.

Terrible quality, disappointed with the purchase.

The routers are very cool both in terms of the level of the WIFi signal, even 5 hertz hits a concrete wall, and in terms of speed and ease of use, but they did not survive in a private house, there is an ouzo in the house. I don't know why the photo is here, but let it be for authenticity.

Pros
  • Fast work, convenient setup, it is possible to organize a MESH network
Cons
  • I have an extensive network in a private house. I bought 2 of these to replace old zyxels and to create a home gigabit network. Six months later, WAN and some LAN ports stopped working on both. I sin on a summer thunderstorm, but this did not happen with zyxels. One of the routers has been under warranty for 2 weeks, there is still no answer.

Beyond praise! The product definitely deserves your attention.

For the money, it's a great router. Its pros: Stylish design, easy setup. Great phone app, can be controlled remotely. Excellent speed performance in the 5G standard. I turned off the Smart Connect option, since my smartphones did not always connect to the 5G network, even if I was directly at the router. I think it's a software problem. I use OneMesh and it works great. The router does not freeze, there are no problems with it. It is in a private house. Finishes far, the speed drops…

Everything in the purchase suits, a very necessary product.

Looks nice. The speed when connecting 4 devices does not sag, the apartment does not allow measuring the coverage area - it covers 40 squares by itself through all the walls, before connecting the tariff, I did a speed test, showed almost 200 megabits, after connecting it gives the declared hundredth.

Pros
  • A good router for home, excellent connection, 2 networks, guest and home, customizable ranges, easy to configure settings, there is an application for the phone from which you can watch the grid.
Cons
  • Found one jamb at the first setup. When entering the interface of the router through the browser and not through the application from the phone, I set passwords for WI-FI. I tried to connect and found that they were not saved and the old ones also do not fit, in short, if you do not connect to the phone, then only a physical reset with the button will help you, followed by reconfiguration again. So I advise you to immediately connect the application.

I'm not completely satisfied with the product.

I still can’t understand what kind of cucumber pancake I need to create a Tp-Link ID account if the router cannot be remotely controlled? Do I have few different accounts? For Asus, for example, this is optional, but you can log in from the local network with a local password, but here you can’t. Stupidity is the worst. Only this infuriates, otherwise an excellent router. (At the rate of 500 Mbps)

Pros
  • The Internet distributes as it should, the design is excellent. Pretty fast USB.
Cons
  • Loading six months. When you install the app on your phone, you need to create an account.

Don't buy it, it's not what it should be.

I'm trying to get this junk back. In the photo there are traces of air bubbles under the film (not fingerprints), they cannot be erased no matter how hard I try.

Pros
  • Does not heat up, for 4 days there were no connection breaks or problems with connecting to the router via the AC protocol through 5 GHz
Cons
  • Wi-Fi 6 does not work on it from the word at all, connection attempts in forced Wi-Fi 6 (8022022 ax) on 2.4 and 5 GHz channels end with the message "it is impossible to connect to this network", none of the 3 devices connects, OnePlus 9 Pro, Iphone 12 Pro Max, Network card from TP-LINK TX3000E. Technical support is not able to solve the issue, we tried a large number of options for setting up encryption switching, version, security protocols, channel width, and channel selection. None of this helped, wasted time, money and nerves, that's all you get when buying TP-LINK Archer AX73 The transport film of the router was with air bubbles, they, in turn, left marks on the glossy part of the plastic

It was a bad idea to buy this, money wasted.

I took Asus AX82 and 88 as a replacement. Parental control, QoS, DDOS, IPS do not work in Tp-Link without a subscription. Some pros: Stable WI-Fi connection, good signal. The speed is decent, enough for all services. The settings are simple, there is an application through which you can control some of the functions. With its cons. I didn’t like the fact that the company is trying to make money for everything, therefore, some protective functions of the network are only available in a paid…

Good, imperfect, misunderstood

Let's go! TPLINK or Mercusys are medium/low cost brands with compatible performance for most products. Often the advertising is exaggerated, it is not a lie, but the advertising is enough to make people believe that they have magical products. In general there is a lot of discontent due to the confusion between One-Mesh and Mesh. One-Mesh is a TP-Link technology compatible with some repeaters in the TP-Link One-Mesh family, it is not the standard Mesh that we find in Deco, Cube Mesh…

Pros
  • Hard Worker
Cons
  • Several Issues

Exactly what I needed, it's a great buy, I recommend it.

I recommend Some pros: Modern router with good functionality (everything you need is there) With its cons: In an apartment building, 2.4 is certainly not the best option (the channel is very crowded and, regardless of the power of the router, there is not enough signal level)

The best thing I've ever used, a great item for everyone!

Finally, Wi-Fi began to work on all devices. The old TP Link Archer did not pull 6 servers + equipment. And this does not care at all, dragging a bridge of 4 routers. Tele phones. In general, everything. Didn't regret it at all. As soon as the current turned on everything worked. After some easy setup. And with the old one he always fiddled for 2 hours.
