I'm still considering between TP-Link ax72 and ax73.

I know different is CPU. Ax73 better max speed, wider range and tri,-core CPU and Ax72 is stable in speed. Some say core count not important in router and Qualcomm immersive home 216 better than Broadcom bcn6750.

I also worry TP-Link will give more support to ax73 because most choose ax73.

What is your advise?

Go for tplink ax73. No problem support 500mbps and coverage for 1300sqft. Value for money too.
