Review your home internet environment on the premise of telework!TP-Link's Gigabit Wi-Fi 6 router "Archer AX73" review

Sponsored by TP-Link

A telework that is being established as a new way of working against the backdrop of the corona.The Gadget Communication Editorial Department has also introduced a complete telework system since 2020, and it has become commonplace to work in various places such as home.In -house meetings are online conferences using ZOOM, TEAMS, and MEET, and interviews for presentations and seminars have been established, such as watching Zoom and YouTube streaming.

Watching streaming of online conferences and events may encounter some troubles related to the user's network environment as follows.Have you ever experienced readers?

・ Because the line at home is slow, there are people who participate in video conferences only by voice ・ Even though I had been talking smoothly until then, if I shared the PowerPoint screen, I could not talk as soon as possible.Was guided to turn off, but there are people who are on, and the distribution screen gets stuck.

In order to make a telework at home comfortably, such troubles occur, the introduction of a powerful Wi-Fi router is essential to avoid feeling awkward to other participants.Introducing "Archer AX73", a middle high-end product recommended by TP-Link, IPv6 IPOE compatible Wi-Fi 6 router.

The ARCHER AX73 is a Wi-Fi router equipped with six high-performance external antennas and supports the size of 4LDK.Wi-Fi 6 (802.Corresponding to 11ax), up to 4804Mbps 5GHz band and up to 574Mbps 2.Compatible with 4GHz band dual bands.At the time of writing the article, the selling price at Amazon was 12,500 yen (tax included), and the reasonable price range was also attractive.

In addition to improving the communication speed, Wi-Fi 6 divides the bandwidth and achieves high speed and low delay by simultaneous communication from multiple devices, and multiple devices to communicate with multiple devices.It features a technology that can use multiple devices at the same time, such as "MU-MIMO", which is speeding up.High-speed and stable connections are available for many devices in the home, which has increased to Wi-Fi.

Also note that it supports IPv6 IPoe (V6 Plus, DS-LITE, etc.).The IPOE method, which can be connected directly to the Internet, is characterized by stable high -speed communication, which can be connected directly to the Internet in response to a PPPoE method that slows down during congestion due to a network terminal device provided by ISP.Unfortunately, my home was unfortunately not compatible with IPv6 IPOE, but if I have introduced IPv6 IPoe compatible routers, IPv6 IPOE -compatible lines will be used to avoid congestion in apartments and densely populated areas.You can expect to perform performance.

The six external antennas of the main unit and the built -in FEM can send different signals to multiple devices at the same time.In addition, the beam forming and 4T4R that send the optimal radio waves to a place with a device can fly powerful Wi-Fi to every corner of your home.It also supports TP-Link Oneemesh, and can be built with mesh Wi-Fi by linking with the corresponding relay device.

Set up the body.Connect the switching hub that connects the LAN cable to the blue WAN port on the back of the main unit and draws the Internet line at home and branches.If the power supply is supplied from the AC adapter, the installation of the main unit is completed.

This time, I set it from my PC.First, connect with SSID and password on the included Wi-Fi information card in the PC Wi-Fi settings."Http: // tplinkwifi" in the browser address column.Enter "net" and open the management screen.Set the password because you need to enter a router management password.

After that, set the time zone according to the screen guide, select the Internet connection type (dynamic IP in the case of the writer), SSID and password to complete the setting work.Wi-Fi will be available by automatically updated router firmware.Archer AX73 is for 5GHz at the time of shipment and 2.SSID for 4GHz is set separately, but SSIDs that can be used in common from the management screen can be set.You can use the "smart connect" function that automatically assigns the best band for the device connected by the router itself.

Even if you do not use a PC, you can set and manage from a smartphone with the iOS/Android compatible application "Tether".With a smartphone app, you can manage your home network from the go.

The result of the Internet speed test performed on the browser Chrome from the Wi-Fi 6 compatible notebook PC is down 420..7Mbps, up 473.8Mbps.The result is 1Gbps, so the result is good.It is a level that can be "streaming HD videos on multiple devices, video conferences, and games", so it can be said that it is a perfect environment for telework.

SpeedTest.The test results conducted on NET are down 418.29Mbps, up 489.Like 56Mbps, you can see that ping is 2ms and fast.

When I participated in an online meeting in the company, I tried using Archer AX73, but the video was unrelated to it, and I did not feel a time lag even if I spoke from here.If you participate in a comfortable internet environment, you will be able to participate in the meeting more aggressively because you do not have extra anxiety.

We have confirmed that the streaming distribution of online presentations can be viewed comfortably.Large -capacity files such as materials and images can be downloaded immediately, and we are very satisfied with the telework internet environment.Because there is little delay, it seems that you can get results when playing online FPS and battle royal games besides work.

I used Archer AX73 on the live distribution program "Gadget Communication LIVE" delivered every Friday night by the Gadget Communication Department.I captured the Nintendo Switch game screen to my notebook PC and delivered the game live, but I was able to distribute the game screen with a smooth movement without falling.If you want to live live for your work or hobbies, please refer to it.

If you are a new member of society and want to improve your home internet environment, we strongly recommend the introduction of a powerful Wi-Fi router that can work comfortably based on telework.Not only new members, but also those who have not been able to improve even if they want to improve the Wi-Fi environment, why not consider the replay of the Wi-Fi router?
