The Archer AX73 is a dual-band wireless router (AX5400) operating on the Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard. The device offers a combined theoretical throughput of up to 5400 Mbps, with 4804 Mbps allocated to the 5 GHz band (supporting 160 MHz channel) and 574 Mbps to the 2.4 GHz band. The router is equipped with one Gigabit Ethernet (GE) WAN port and four Gigabit Ethernet (GE) LAN ports for wired connections. It features one USB 3.0 port for file sharing and media server functionality. Six high-performance external antennas are responsible for range and stability. The device uses OFDMA and MU-MIMO technologies for simultaneous communication with multiple clients and latency reduction. An internal 1.5 GHz dual-core processor ensures efficient operation. Security features are provided by TP-Link HomeShield, and the router also supports the WPA3 protocol.

Wi-Fi 6 Means Higher Efficiency on All Levels
The latest generation of Wi-Fi connections surpasses its predecessors, providing higher speeds, lower latency, and greater efficiency. You will never again run out of bandwidth to connect all the devices you use in your home to the network.

Speeds Designed for Smooth 8K Streaming
Incredibly high speeds of the 2.4 GHz band provide ideal support for streaming, online gaming, and fast downloads. Is that still not enough?
Connect to the 5 GHz band and stream even several 8K quality movies simultaneously without lag.

Advanced Technologies Guarantee Whole-Home Coverage
Do you want Wi-Fi access both when cooking dinner for the family and relaxing in the quiet of your bedroom? Six antennas combined with Beamforming technology, a high-power front-end module, and 4T4R solution ensure access to a reliable wireless network throughout the entire home and smooth and stable connections for all users.


Connections for Over 200 Devices
You no longer have to compromise. OFDMA and MU-MIMO technologies propel your home network into the future, providing so much efficiency that no connected device will have to wait its turn — the router will easily handle the intensive data traffic generated by streaming and gaming.
- OFDMA
OFDMA technology, by increasing network efficiency, allows the use of a single transmission stream on multiple devices.
- MU-MIMO
Data is transmitted to multiple devices simultaneously via several separate streams.
More Efficient Cooling
The diagonally interlaced rectangular elements that form the top surface of the device's casing resemble an elegant, contemporary scaled armor. As much as 167 cm² (25 in²) of this surface is used for router ventilation, which ultimately improves heat dissipation and allows the device to work efficiently.
