Your Ticket to the WiFi 6 Future: Stable, Fast, and Efficient
Are you tired of choppy streams and laggy games? The TP-Link Archer AX23 brings the latest WiFi 6 technology directly to your home. Compared to older standards, this fast Router for 4K Streaming and gaming can serve significantly more devices simultaneously and more efficiently. Technologies like OFDMA and 1024-QAM ensure that bandwidth is intelligently distributed. The result: a noticeably more stable connection and lower latency for every connected device – from the smart TV in the living room to the smartphone in the bedroom.
Grows with Your Demands: Flexible Mesh WiFi thanks to OneMesh™
Every apartment and house is different. Where a single router is not enough, the Archer AX23 shows its flexible side. Thanks to OneMesh™ support, you can expand your Network anytime and easily. Simply add one or more compatible TP-Link OneMesh repeaters to create a unified and seamless Mesh Network. This allows you to move freely through your home, while your devices automatically and without interruption remain connected to the strongest signal. A perfect solution for seamless WiFi coverage.
Full Control and Highest Security for Your Network
A strong network also needs strong security features. The Archer AX23 is equipped with the latest WPA3 security protocol, which protects your home network even better from unauthorized access. You also have full control via the intuitive Tether App or the web interface. Set up parental controls in no time, prioritize specific devices with Quality of Service (QoS) for the best performance, or create a separate guest network for your visitors. This WiFi Router provides you with all the tools you need for a modern and secure home network.
Gigabit Power for Wired and Wireless
The Archer AX23 is not only strong wirelessly. With one Gigabit WAN port and four Gigabit LAN ports, you can unleash the full potential of your fast internet connection. Connect your most important devices such as PC, game console, or smart TV directly via cable for maximum speed and stability. The powerful dual-core processor ensures smooth processing of all data packets at all times, whether they run via cable or WiFi. A real powerhouse for your digital life.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the TP-Link Archer AX23 suitable for a 1 Gbps internet connection?
Yes, the router has a 1 Gbps WAN port and four 1 Gbps LAN ports. It can fully utilize a Gigabit internet connection and pass this speed on via cable. Although the WLAN speeds are theoretically higher (1201 Mbps on 5 GHz), in practice, you will rarely achieve full Gigabit speed over WLAN with a single device.
What is the advantage of OneMesh with the Archer AX23?
OneMesh allows you to create a so-called Mesh network. If you find that the WLAN signal is weak in some parts of your home, you can add one or more TP-Link OneMesh repeaters. These connect seamlessly with the Archer AX23 and create a unified WLAN network with a single name (SSID), so your devices automatically connect to the strongest signal as you move through the house.
Does the Archer AX23 support WPA3 and why is it important?
Yes, the router supports the latest security standard WPA3. This is important because WPA3 offers more robust encryption for passwords and better protects your home network from external attacks, especially brute-force attacks. For use, the connected end devices (e.g., smartphone, laptop) must also support WPA3.
Can I wall-mount the Archer AX23?
Yes, the Archer AX23's casing has two cutouts on the underside for wall mounting.
What is the main difference between the 2.4 GHz and the 5 GHz bands on this router?
The 2.4 GHz band offers a greater range and penetrates walls better, but is slower and more susceptible to interference from other devices (e.g., microwaves, Bluetooth). The 5 GHz band offers significantly higher speeds and less interference but has a shorter range. The Archer AX23 uses both bands simultaneously.
Is the router suitable for online gaming and 4K streaming?
Yes, the router is well-suited for these applications. WiFi 6 technology with OFDMA significantly reduces latency, which is crucial for responsive online gaming. The high speed of the 5 GHz band (up to 1201 Mbps) is ideal for uninterrupted 4K content streaming.
