Configuration Guide How to Build an Ethernet Backhaul Using Two EasyMesh Routers
Hi - I was hoping someone could help with ethernet backhaul.
I recently upgraded my main router to a BE3600 and daisy chained it to an AX55 Pro V1 that I updated the firmware to support ethernet backhaul (1.3.1 Build 20240426 rel.31941). I successfully added it as a mesh router and was able to see the icon change from wifi to an ethernet cable but ONLY when plugged into the 1Gb port, not the 2.5gb port of the AX 55 Pro.
I've troubleshooted this for hours now, trying to unmesh the device and use it as a standalone router and when I do that, I can access the 2.5gb port when connected directly to the BE3600. I try the internet and it's blazing fast.
But when I change the setup to Mesh with the 55 Pro as the satellite, the 2.5gb port isn't detected and the AX55 keeps trying to connect via wifi instead. I have to switch the ethernet cable to the 1gb port and it finally detects it agian.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Other things I've tried:
1. swapped the ethernet cable, which didn't work. And doesn't make sense, because when I unmesh the satellite router, I can use the 2.5gb port without an issue.
2. I've thought about switching the AX55 to the main and use the BE3600 as the satellite, but that's not preferred since the BE is newer with wifi 7.
