Hi everybody.
I’m in the jungle of Router for my home. I’m searching a router that will live along time, with latest technology (wifi 6 at the minimum, tri band), with either ethernet an wifi connection.
all that with a maximum of protection and a good price, and obviously that meet with all HA requirements.
Should someone help me finding this wonderfull router?
I saw TP-Link Archer AX73, what do you think of that router?
many thanks in advance for any help provided
Your premise is wrong.
The more functionality you jam into a device the faster it will be outdated and in general the more it will be under powered.
Go for a dedicated router and a dedicated AP and a dedicated switch if that is needed too.
This also allows you to place the AP where it makes sense and not where the WAN connection happens to be.
Thanks for the answer.
Could you give me an example of those devices?
Many go with UniFi devices, but I have chosen a Ubitiquiti EdgeRouter 4 and Cisco APs.
Cisco APs are not cheap though!
I use a GLiNet Broome 2 (OpenWrt) router with Omada access points and TP-link managed switches. Many go all-Omada but I like the flexibility of OpenWrt. Omada has a tri-band AP now; the Archer you mentioned is only dual-band.
I suggest you check the AP specs and make sure they can do multiple BSSID, which means you can have different WiFi networks that are separated from each other.
It is something you might want later, if not already now. 
I got completely hacked-off with my home network and completely rebuilt it from the ground up with TP-Link Omada devices. Omada is their smart business-grade stuff and it’s been a revelation. It may not be the cheapest option (although it’s very good value) but the free cloud management app makes building and optimising the network a breeze. OK so my entire home is now owned by the Chinese government but hey, you can’t have everything 
Definitely go with seperate devices rather than an all-in-one, that’s just asking for trouble.
Here’s the current topology.
I’ve also been pleased with my Omada network. It’s ‘almost’ as good as UniFi, but noticeably less expensive. Definitely a significant step up from consumer all-in-one router/switch/access-point devices.
And the cloud management feature can be turned off, so access and maintenance is local only. Though this doesn’t change the fact that TP-Link is Chinese, so who knows how much that actually helps…
