good and stable router, great range of signal
i've replaced an ASUS high end router with this tp-link archer router because it got a lot of reviews mentioning its reliable signal. the archer has not disappointed me. i'm running this router now in my apartment without mesh and any additional repeaters and it hasn't dropped WIFI or ethernet cable network connection once. the management console (HTML/browser or android app) is way less overloaded with graphics and clunky menus than the ASUS one and thus much simpler to manage.
Pro
- stable connection
- great range
- easy software updates
- HTML GUI less clunky than ASUS
Contra
- 6 antennas??
- TP-link ID no much added value
TP-LINK ARCHER AX73, functionality and value for money are simply brilliant!
It is not so easy to find a WiFi router/access point that reliably supports the OpenVPN protocol and the most common VPN providers such as NordVPN, ExpressVP or ProtonVPN in VPN client mode and also works stably and reliably in 24/7 continuous use. Many routers offer VPN server mode, but not OpenVPN client.
I had to search for some time, but have now found a WiFi 6 router in the TP-LINK ARCHER AX73,
that can handle both VPN modes with ease. The device is now going into the steaming and IPTV endurance test.Pro
- Real OpenVPN client functionality, not just server
- Good, intuitive operation and configuration
Contra
- Somewhat high power loss
- Heat development in continuous operation
- Firmware not entirely consistent in all parts
Lower than expected range
Pro
- Everything but range
Contra
- Low range
WLAN set-up made easy
I bought this router to replace my UPC Wifi.
Within 5 minutes I had set up the network with the Tether app and my TP link surveillance cameras synchronised automatically and the app also adopted the assigned names.
The signal reaches every room/floor (140 sqm).
All-round satisfaction TP link! :DPro
- Good coverage
- Tether app is bug-free on Android+ IOS
Contra
- None so far
Very good device with modern technology and reasonable price / performance ratio.
I mounted the Tp-Link on the wall and connected it as described. The disappointment was great: None of the 4 LAN outputs brings an Internet signal! First, the Tether APP must be downloaded to the smartphone and thus programmed the WLAN, which is quite simple. Then the LAN outputs also have internet connection.
When the TP-Link is mounted like in the picture, the LEDs are not visible. I helped myself out with a white cardboard (business card). For the labeling, I photographed the display, printed the image mirrored and properly scaled and stuck it on the business card.So the operating status is also visible from the ground.
The automatic switch from 5G to 2.4G can lead to problems with devices controlled via APPs, because they often require that both devices (eg smartphone and radio) are connected to the same WLAN.Pro
- Good range
- Relatively low power consumption
- Easy to set up, but only with the APP
Contra
- LEDs placed awkwardly for wall mounting
