Yes, the TP-Link Archer AX53 is a solid Wi-Fi 6 router. It offers reliable performance and good coverage for most homes.

I'm using a Samsung S23 with an Intel AX200 chipset and both have Wi-Fi 6. I wonder if sticking to the Wi-Fi 5 router is still a good idea.

It's true that the new device won't speed things up much, especially with a budget model like the ASUS. The link you mentioned seems to match the quality of what you're expecting.

I believe you’re mixing up MLO, the upcoming standard set to launch on WiFi 7. Right now, WiFi 6 and 6E support multiple bands separately—2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz (with 6GHz via WiFi 6E)—without combining them into a single aggregation for individual devices. If you’re moving from an older WiFi 4 router, the performance gains from upgrading to WiFi 5 or newer will be more noticeable. Unless you’re in a rural area with minimal interference, the differences won’t be significant. Many people still treat 2.4GHz and 5GHz as separate networks, which isn’t accurate unless you have specific network configurations like VLANs or advanced setups. Most routers automatically link clients to the same network regardless of band. @Mahbub For more details on WiFi improvements, check this article. Also, remember that WiFi 6/6E are just small enhancements over WiFi 5, while WiFi 7 brings MLO, aiming for faster speeds and broader channels.

currently I can't get a Wi-Fi 6E or 7 device yet. I only have a Wi-Fi 5 router from Asus AC53u.

I’m running at 100mbps on Wi-Fi 5, but the main reason I considered upgrading was WAP 3 and some advanced features like 160MHz. At my current speed, it doesn’t seem like the upgrade is really necessary.
