AX5400 Wi-Fi 6 Router

The TP-Link Archer AX73 is a dual-band wireless router built on Wi-Fi 6 hardware. It delivers combined wireless rates up to 5.4 Gbps across 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands for households that stream, game and download simultaneously. A 1.5 GHz triple-core processor drives traffic handling and security features.

Installation and Common Issues

The router uses a standard 12 V 2.5 A power supply and provides one Gigabit WAN port plus four Gigabit LAN ports for wired links. Two LAN ports support link aggregation for a 2 Gbps wired pipe. Setup is managed through a web interface or mobile app; the unit includes dedicated buttons for Wi-Fi, power, LEDs, WPS and a hardware reset if configuration needs a fresh start.

Who This Suits and Who Should Look Elsewhere

This model suits homes that want Wi-Fi 6 speeds, MU-MIMO and OFDMA capacity for many devices, plus a USB 3.0 port for local media sharing or private cloud storage. Buyers who need multi-gig WAN above 1 Gbps, mesh node expansion with dedicated backhaul, or more than four LAN ports without an external switch should consider other options.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the AX5400 router is delivering Wi-Fi 6 speeds after setup?

Check the LED indicators for active 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, log into the web interface to verify connected clients show 802.11ax links, and run a speed test from a Wi-Fi 6 device to see throughput approaching 5.4 Gbps aggregate.

What comes in the box with the Archer AX73 and what must I buy separately?

The package includes the router with six fixed high-performance antennas, a 12 V 2.5 A power adapter, and an Ethernet cable for the 1 x Gigabit WAN port; you only need to supply a modem and any additional Cat5e or Cat6 cables for the 4 x Gigabit LAN ports.

Which version of the AX5400 should I choose for 8K streaming and many devices?

The Archer AX73 is a single SKU with AX5400 dual-band Wi-Fi 6, a 1.5 GHz triple-core CPU, 4T4R and HE160 on 5 GHz for up to 4.8 Gbps, MU-MIMO and OFDMA, plus a USB 3.0 port for media sharing — no capacity or version options exist to select between.
