  This review is about the network version: v1

  It is the best router, I have a connection simultaneously with Starlink and I see speeds that are out of this world for Greek standards and without fiber optic. A bit expensive but worth the money.

  Very good product, I connected it with an ethernet cable to the Starlink router that is on another floor, very easy to connect to the other router through the app. Highly recommended.

  Flawless in its performance, with great WiFi range especially on the 5GHz and Wifi6. (Replaced Asus RT-AC85 - WiFi5)
  Worth every euro. Worth every euro.

  The router is a star, it works continuously for a year without any problem.
  At a party with 50 people, it had no problem and no one complained about not having a network: with the old 30€ router, they were complaining and we were encouraging them, instead of playing with their phones, to dance.

  This review is about the network version: v1

  I will start by saying that I have never had a router in my hands over 25€.

  For the past year, I was using an Archer C50 which was loaded with about a dozen smart devices, 2 mobile phones, and 2 computers. When trying to connect to WiFi on my mobile phone (iPhone 13), it was slow and took more than 10 seconds each time. Also, the speeds it provided were around 92-93 Mbps on a 100/10Mbps FFTH line.

  As you can see in the photos, this one gives over 100 at night while during the day it drops to 97-98. Connecting devices to the network is really fast, and small glitches in apps like Instagram (stories not loading, for example) are gone. Videos on YouTube on both mobile and computer start immediately, and you never see the video loading graphic anymore. The network range, using only the router, in a long narrow house of 120 sq.m. is unreal (tested for 20-25 days in this specific area)...really no comparison to before.

  The router is at one end of the house and the speed test you see in the photos is literally at the other end, 15 meters away, with only one wall in between. Speedtest on the mobile phone next to the router gives exactly the same result every time I ran it. In tests I did with 5 walls (2 rooms & kitchen) from the router, the speeds were around: 23 Mbps down and 3 Mbps up, which is very impressive for so many obstacles!

  We are talking about a semi-professional router that could easily be used and trusted in a small business since it can handle up to 200 devices according to TP-Link.

  I will come back to add any updates I have for this router in the future, as well as the results of using it in a stone house of 45 sq.m. this time, and always comparing it to the previous one I had (Archer C50 v6).

  Soon I will move it to a new house with a 200 ftth line and will update the review with any new information I gather. However, so far it has proven to be a gem, I really love it.

  I am very happy with this router. It is fast and stable for me and can handle a lot of items connecting to it at the same time - these days this is important because of household goods, lightbulbs, smoke alarms, air condition, everything talking to the router at once - not just phones and laptops. I get my internet over a SIM card (in a different router) so I have just connected the two routers together. The first router now JUST gets the internet and supplies it to the Archer AX73 by a cable, which then does all the WiFi connections. This works perfectly for me. Very happy with the result.

  This review is about the network version: v1

  Coming from a Netgear Nighthawk R7000, I decided to replace it as it was almost a decade old and there were already WiFi 6 devices in the house with numerous streaming clients.

  Positives:
  - Installation was fairly quick (I used a computer instead of the app and didn't encounter any issues).
  - Capabilities that will cater to a large percentage of users.
  - Fast connection with WiFi 6 - I saw significant improvement on the TV with Google Chromecast with Google TV using Plex, Netflix, and Cosmote TV.
  - Good range, plus it is supposed to connect with other TP-Link products for mesh (I haven't tested this).

  Negatives:
  - For anyone who wants to use the Parental Controls (e.g., shut off the child's internet after 12 midnight), they will have to pay a subscription fee of 5 to 6 euros per month, which is completely unacceptable.* Minus one star for greediness. I won't even bother mentioning what else this subscription offers as I consider it simply ridiculous. Google TP-Link HomeShield for information.
  - There is no integration with Home Assistant, but I won't deduct a star due to its very specific case/use, so it would be unfair.

  * You can blacklist the device and re-allow it through the menu.

  It took me about 10-15 minutes to install it (I am relatively unfamiliar with networks, etc.). I can say that before the package arrived, I had some doubts if I could do it myself, but ultimately, due to the application (on my mobile) and the instructions they provided, it was very informative and an easy process.

  As for the rest, I got it because I wanted to make full use of the Wi-Fi's download and upload capabilities of the devices, as I use a lot of cloud services, either for sending videos from one device to another or for gaming, etc. I have a 100 Mbps connection and for so long, I was getting around 20-30 Mbps with the factory modem from the company. Now, I get 100 Mbps upload and 100 Mbps download. I feel like the whole house took a breath and the internet coverage expanded throughout the entire house. I have had it for about 1 month so far and I am very satisfied.
