The TP-Link Archer AX23 is a dual-band Wi‑Fi 6 router for households upgrading an older router or adding Wi‑Fi to an existing broadband setup. Its four wired LAN ports are handy if you want to connect a TV, gaming console or desktop without buying a separate switch.
What AX1800 means at home
TP-Link rates the AX23 at up to 1,201 Mbps on 5 GHz and 574 Mbps on 2.4 GHz. AX1800 describes the combined theoretical rates of the two bands. Your internet speed depends on your broadband plan, device and signal strength. Start with 5 GHz for nearby laptops and phones, and try 2.4 GHz for compatible devices farther away.
Check your broadband setup first
The AX23 has one gigabit WAN port and four gigabit LAN ports. If your provider’s gateway takes a fibre cable directly, ask the provider how to connect your own router before buying. You can also use the AX23 in access point mode, connected by Ethernet to your existing gateway, while leaving that gateway in charge of routing.
For a room separated by several walls, try a more central position for the router first. If one unit still leaves a dead spot, check the AX23’s hardware revision and firmware before buying a mesh extender. Compatibility can vary by version.

Consider the AX23 if your current router is older and you want Wi‑Fi 6 plus four wired connections. For a broadband plan above 1 Gbps, look for a router with a faster WAN port. For a larger home with poor signal in several rooms, plan the location of access points or mesh nodes before spending on a single router.
