Description

The AX53 clearly comes from the same stable as the older Archer AX50. The physical design is pretty much identical and the core specifications are the same, too: four antennas support 4×4 MU-MIMO with a maximum speed of 2.4Gbits/sec on the 5GHz band and a respectable 574Mbits/sec over the 2.4GHz radio. Like its predecessor, the AX53 also supports the wide 160MHz channel width to maximise bandwidth. AX3000 speeds break down to 574Mbps at 2.4GHz and 2,402Mbps at 5GHz. Both of these routers can deliver plenty of speed for most people, but the extra headroom that comes with AX3000 will be good for those that want to do more local networking. With OneMesh network, you can extend your wireless network coverage with ease. We live in a two-storey house and there are spots where things can get a bit flaky occasionally.

Currently, WiFi 6 and 6E can use 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz (the latter with WiFi 6E) independently. There is no band aggregation implemented for individual wireless clients. Since you only have 100mb/s you can literally use a 15 year old router that only does wireless n 133mb/s speed and you wont notice a single differenece :p. Apart from that, we’ve had tons of Zoom meetings and didn’t experience any instability or disconnections. Odfma pretty much is just what if there can be a bunch of frequencies at the same time to find the best performance. Only worls on wifi 6 devices that support it

Blazingly Fast Gigabit Speed Can't Wait

Note: The TP-Link AX73 is advertised as an AX5400-class WiFi 6 router, so it features a maximum theoretical data transfer rate of 4,804Mbps on the 5GHz radio band and a maximum theoretical data transfer rate of 574Mbps on the 2.4GHz band – these are theoretical values, so you won’t be able to reach this performance inside your home (they can hardly be achieved in a lab). The WiFi Features On the rear side of the TP-Link AX73, there are four buttons, one for turning Off/On the LEDs, one for enabling the WPS process, one for turning On/Off the WiFi and the last one is a recessed Reset button (press and hold it for about 10 seconds to return the router to its default settings). Further to the right, there are four LAN ports (all Gigabit), one WAN port (also Gigabit), a Power button and a Power connector. On the right side of the AX73, there’s a single USB 3.0 port for adding a printer or an external storage device. Internal Hardware

HomeCare includes a more advanced QoS with optimization by application as well as the standard devices QoS. This can help make sure the games or services you care about the most are first in line for connections no matter the devices you use them on. If you have an online gamer in the house, this feature can keep their pings consistent. I noticed that on the bottom of the AX73, TP-Link has added four silicone feet to keep the router in place (still can’t fathom why they haven’t done the same with the AX50) and there are also a couple of holes to help you mount the device on the wall. If you want to keep the TP-Link AX73 on a desk, know that the router is not that compact (it measures 10.7 x 5.8 x 1.9 inches) and there are lots of antennas, surrounding the case. The AX73 does come with six antennas, four positioned on the rear side and two on the left and right side of the device and no, they’re not detachable (the trend of upgrading the antennas is essentially gone by this point). The 802.11ax white paper defines standardized modifications to both the IEEE 802.11 physical layers (PHY) and the IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control (MAC) layer as enabling at least one mode of operation capable of supporting improvement of at least four times the average throughput per station (measured at the MAC data service access point) in a dense deployment scenario.

Actually, if you’re coming from a WiFi 4 generation router, you’d see much more improvement in upgrading to WiFi 5 or better. Unless you live on a farm in the rural countryside where you don’t have to worry about your neighbours’ WiFi interference. Sure, I can definitely play around with the placement more but so far I have stable and solid connections around the house. Considering that I have around 50 wireless devices connected to the router, all hungry for attention, it’s quite an amazing feat for the price . We can also thank OFDMA too for this, as it enables simultaneous clients to transfer data at the same time within a single channel. The Tether app opens to a My Devices screen, which displays all installed TP-Link devices. Tap the AX73 router panel to open a Home screen with a network map, a list of connected devices on the wireless and guest networks, and buttons for Home, Clients, HomeShield, and Tools.

Moving forward, I ran the same multi-client test but with the limit set to 25Mbps, essentially simulating what the user will need if it wants the maximum video quality from Netflix. As expected, the performance was a bit worse. TP-Link AX5400 AX73 – Multi-client stress test using 5 client devices – 4K streaming (5GHz, 80MHz). The lower the score, the better. As an equivalent to real life, I suppose you could imagine probably about 50 (or more) users still fairly violently surfing the web. But, this is a veritable stress test, so how well did the TP-Link AX5400 perform? Surprisingly, not that bad. We see that the ZimaBoard 832 deviates a bit for 5% of the time (I suppose it makes sense considering that it’s the farthest client device). The other client devices did good, with the WiFi 6E client experiencing some latency spikes for 1% of the time. TP-Link AX5400 AX73 – Multi-client stress test using 5 client devices – 1080p streaming & web browsing (5GHz, 80MHz). The focus is on the web browsing. The lower the score, the better. Qam1024. Pretty much just look higher number is possible but also higher number means overlapping and signals smashing into eachother is much more likely so this is often not used to the fullest as its not issue free Adding RE605X to the network controlled by AX55 was easy with WPS. I simply had to press the WPS buttons on the two devices to let them pair up on their own. Here are the details on my wireless network signal strength around the house after adding the RE605X: This also means you can no longer have 2 sperate networks if you wish that on 2.4ghz and 5ghz unless the router allows that modification.On most wireless routers, the WLAN and LAN are bridged by default. So a client’s connection to either band takes them to the same network.
