OneMesh Availability for powerline products
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hi there,
I am looking into possibilities of improving my WiFi coverage using a TP-Link Archer VR600v AC1600. OneMesh sounds pretty appealing but if I'm not mistaken, the only extension product currently supporting OneMesh is the RE300 repeater. Because I need decent WiFi at both ends of my apartment, I was leaning towards a powerline+WiFi solution such as the TL-WPA7510 or TL-WPA4220 kits. As these are listed under "coming soon" in your compatibility table and I couldn't find out any information beyond that, I was wondering if there was already an expected release date for OneMesh firmware updates for these kits, so I can make an informed decision.
Thanks for your help!

@Kevin_Z can you confirm which Powerline Adapter is currently under testing? Is it the 4220?

@Kevin_Z : guys, what are you doing ? It's already mid march. How long do you need for that test's. It's not like this would be the first product with onemesh. I could understand that in this case. But here, this is only a follow up product. Already One Guy working on it should have done all the test's in a few days - at least in a few weeks. No, already MONTH has passed.
I can only guess, that you are not actually working on it - I have no other explanation for this delay.
As far, I can only recommed everybody to NOT buy products with ANY "comming soon" label on your products, since it's obviosly false promises that you can not hold. Sorry, but that's unfortunetely the truth!

I agree. It is about time that at least some of the Powerline Mesh products were made available.
I purchased an MR600 router with the plan of deploying Mesh, but due to the thick walls in our house, the available MESH wifi extenders have proved to be ineffective.
So now I am stuck waiting for a Powerline solution.
Please can someone at TP-Link give a reasonably accurate date for when they will be available in the UK?

Disappointing that there has been no response to this.
When I contacted sales support asking the same question, they didn't answer either. Instead they suggested I look at the P9 Deco.
That would be fine if I was starting to build my network from scratch and didn't want the 4G+ capability of the MR600.
But I need the 4G+ cellular capability and have already invested in the MR600 and one RE300 Mesh extender on the basis that there would be other Onemesh product available.
So, come on guys, please give us a roadmap for the introduction of the various Mesh enabled Powerline products.
Otherwise, it could be time to put the TP-Link kit on e-Bay and start again with another brand.

I don't get why there is no timeline yet.
OneMesh for the range extenders was promised in October of last year and still no update. I need to know if I have to buy other solutions or if I can make this work and expand on the TP Link hardware.
A timeline would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Hi All,
I bought TL-WPA8630P KIT and waiting for mesh firmware also.
Powerline works great for me, even 30m away in the garage, but I want to add 2 more devices to extend Wifi.
Without mesh it will be not good...
Could you please define what is "Coming soon" according to you? :)
Is there posibility to download some beta firmware to check this functionality which you are testing currently?
Regards,
