Recommended With Minor Trade-Offs
TP-Link
The Archer AX73 is a well-specced AX5400 dual-band router aimed at medium homes that want faster Wi-Fi 6, good 5 GHz performance, and straightforward setup without jumping into premium pricing. Its biggest compromise is hardware ceiling: all Ethernet ports are Gigabit, and some advanced HomeShield features require a subscription.
A strong product when its specific strengths match your setup and priorities.
