What customers say, summarised by AI
- Set up is straightforward with clear guides and an easy-to-use app.
- Notable improvement in speed and coverage over standard routers.
- Best suited to medium to large homes; mesh or extenders may be needed for large spaces.
- Six antennas boost signal but brick/concrete walls and range over 10-15m may require extenders.
- No DSL port or USB support; requires a WAN and isn't suitable for direct NBN FTTN/FW connections.
- Value for money with reliable performance, though some users report initial glitches.

Easy setup
Router took onlya few minutes to set up, and speed on nbn 500/50 plan is much faster than my old router. Would have been good to have some explanation in the setup sheet on what position the antennas should be set to.

Easy install and NBN READY
Im not tech savvy at all so just setting up is what I need to be easy and this was as simple as unplugging the old and replacing with the new . Very simple to install and has easy guide instructions 😀 Although this product when buying does not have an NBN READY sticker on it .. it actually is non ready.

Shipping request ignored and mediocre modem
Disappointing delivery experience and average product performance I purchased this modem for my work-from-home setup, but the entire process was highly frustrating. I specifically requested delivery via AusPost because Team Global Express is notoriously unreliable in my area. Despite my explicit request, The Good Guys shipped it via Team Global Express anyway. True to form, the delivery was delayed, wasting a significant amount of my time and impacting my work. To make matters worse, they constantly mishandle deliveries even when given an Authority to Leave. As for the modem itself, it’s mediocre at best and doesn't live up to the hype. If The Good Guys keep ignoring customer shipping requests and using unreliable delivery partners, they are going to lose a lot of loyal customers.

Q: Do I need a separate modem with the TP-LINK Archer AX73?
A: Yes. The Archer AX73 is a router, not a modem, so it does not connect directly to DSL phone lines. It suits NBN services that use an NBN box or existing modem, with its Gigabit WAN port handling the internet connection.
Q: Is the TP-LINK Archer AX73 suitable for faster NBN plans such as NBN 250 or NBN 500?
A: Yes. Its Gigabit WAN and Gigabit LAN ports are well matched to NBN 250 and NBN 500 services, and can handle typical wired speeds close to 1Gbps. Wi-Fi speeds will still vary by device capability, distance, and household interference.
Q: How well does the Archer AX73 handle large homes or double-storey layouts?
A: It is designed for broader coverage, with six external antennas and beamforming helping direct signal across larger spaces. In homes with concrete walls or multiple floors, some areas may still benefit from a compatible extender or mesh add-on.
Q: Is the Archer AX73 a good choice for gaming and multiple connected devices?
A: Yes. Wi-Fi 6, OFDMA, MU-MIMO and the 1.5GHz triple-core processor are built to reduce congestion when many devices are online at once. It can help keep gaming and streaming smoother, but latency still depends on your internet plan and server quality.
Q: What is the USB 3.0 port on the TP-LINK Archer AX73 used for?
A: The USB 3.0 port is mainly for sharing content from a compatible USB storage drive across the home network. It is useful for basic file access or media sharing, but it is not a substitute for a dedicated NAS if several users need fast, constant access.
Q: Can the Archer AX73 be expanded later if one router does not cover the whole house?
A: Yes. The Archer AX73 can be a practical starting point if coverage needs grow, because it supports expansion with compatible TP-LINK mesh or extender products. That is useful in longer homes where one centrally placed router still leaves weaker zones.
