Accepted [Wi-Fi Routers] AP Mode supports Onemesh
Updated on Sep 2, 2024:
We're thrilled to announce the rollout of new official firmware rolling out for multiple routers, including the BE, AX, and AC series, which introduces EasyMesh in AP Mode as a Controller. Check the following thread for a list of the models that support this feature:
EasyMesh Is Available When Wi-Fi Routers Work in AP Mode as A Controller
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are some cases that customers have their main modem router acting as the gateway and DHCP server in the network, and thus they need to change the TP-Link router to work as an Access Point to avoid the double-NAT issue. However, some of them still request the Onemesh routers (TP-Link OneMesh Devices) to support building up an Onemesh system with the Onemesh extenders when working in Access Point mode.
Before requesting that, we hope you could have a brief understanding about the difference between Router mode and Access Mode by referring to the article below, some advanced features would not be supported in Access Point mode, which is also the case for Onemesh:
If you do purchase an Onemesh router and extender already, you will need to configure it in Router mode to build up the Onemesh system. For better performance, it is suggested to check with your modem router support that if you can turn it into bridge mode or pure modem, then configure the TP-Link router as the main router.
However, we still open our ears for the market and customers here that how many of you request the Onemesh router supporting Onemesh in AP mode, and all of your opinions will be passed to the relevant team to be considered.
Press the like button and/or leave your comments and opinions if you also request the same. You can also exchange or share your opinions on this feature here. Thanks!

I gave up waiting for this feature : I switched to one Deco X50 3-set pack.
Now, I have what I missed : the ethernet backhaul on all satellites (not only the main satellite) + the mesh feature in AP mode.

Starting I'm also thought all tp link router do support one mesh like what Asus did to their router and i bought ax 55 and ax 20
After tinkering and reading I'm sad ... Because not working... 😂
TL-wpa 8631p real world speed very sad higher latency higher ping no matter wired or wifi
range extender re 505x without wired backhaul support not even access point mode support onemesh for the price tp link asking for
my only choice left EAP series but i wasted the main wifi router the wifi ability to reduce interference with omada .... Because as tp link quote omada, deco, onemesh 3 of them are different product... Yeah i get it
But ain't ax 20 ax 55 under onemesh family? Old school router we only disabled extra router DHCP set a fix reserve IP there you go access point mode the only annoying part different SSID name use ... well i still wish tp link putting more love to their products more versatile and customer will loving tp link more ...
Have a nice day 😊

What the ****
I spent hundreds on Archer 90 and 5x RE505 to find out, that it does not fit my newly builded CAT7 infrastructure?!
Thats like betrayal.
Will try to return those to seller as false statement at product description!
Really sad.

Hello @zuozi and everyone who is looking for Onemesh between two routers,
I'm updating here to let you know that there will be a new feature called EasyMesh added to the TP-Link routers and range extenders, which will allow you to build a mesh network between two routers wirelessly.
Please visit the following thread to know more about how EasyMesh will work, leave your comments there if you have further inquiries:

No. I'm sorry but this is not the solution. The Archer AX1500 cannot use the easymesh in Access Point Mode. Only in Router Mode.
Please specify the supported model of router and range extender.
Ans please specify the firmware version that must be used.
Many Thanks.

I need to say that I have recently attempted to extend my Archer AX1500 network with the RE505X device. They have flawlessly configured for OneMesh, but that was all they did. I have placed the RE505X halfway the router's range - as instructed - but my devices (laptop, mobiles, etc) were continuously connected with the router and not willing to switch to the extender even though router's signal was already very poor and extender's one very strong. Quite often they were reconnecting back and forth. Even if I finally made the device to connect via the extender, network speed was very poor (2-5Mbps).
Overall - I am heavily disappointed with the OneMesh. I hope that EasyMesh may work better in future.
