EAP245 Mesh not working
I bought two EAP245 APs, and am attempting to mesh them together. They were advertised as Mesh ready, so i am trying to get them to mesh together. I adopted the first AP and enabled mesh, but when plugging in the second AP, the controller will not detect the AP as an isolated AP and allow meshing. Is there something I am missing to enable meshing the APs together?
Thanks in advance.

I just bought one of these for my network specifically for the mesh - I need to bridge a wired devices in a location that doesn't have a physical port nearby. When will this feature be available? From this thread it looks like you've promised it since May.

@reven Now EAP225-Outdoor and EAP225 V3.0 support Mesh feature. For the EAP245 V3.0, we are always trying to add the mesh feature. When we finish it, we will release it in the website.

Why are we still waiting for mesh on eap245 for 4 months? I bought this for the better coverage and I am unable to use the mesh feature which is extremely frustrating. This should be a priority!

@Davidmf98 : You are totally right!
@forrest: Maybe you can give us an update on the development status. Can't be so tricky to port it from one access point to the other. Were are waiting for the release since month now. Please provide a schedule for this feature.

Normally we will add some new features and fix some bugs, that's why it needs a long time to release a new firmware. For the EAP245v3, we are still testing it, we hope we can fix all bugs before releasing it, to avoid problems when using.

Well @forrest, this is nearly the same answer than half a year ago. Where is the problem and why testing takes so long. Ist there a roadmap and an schedule for features.
I'm really sorry, but i can see any progress in this feature if your are testing on and on.
Can we expect this feature in the next release? When is TP-Link expexting to release the next update?
Again sorry, for getting on your nerves.
But i bought another EAP 245 expecting this feature to work. No is lying here for month unused. I'm really satisfied with your products, so please get this feature done!

The last firmware update was still without the mesh function.
Could you please provide us more information on the progress of this important feature.

@TWulf Have you thought about just running a long ethernet cable and placing the access point as far as it will go? Use it as an interim solution until the software is out. Know its not right that this feature was advertised and it has been almost a year but try that for now?
