Router: Archer AX90(AX6600)

Repeaters: RE315, RE305, RE205

Country: Romania

 

My scenario is that i want to have OneMesh after I'll connect(via ethernet) either the RE305 to AX90 or RE305 to RE205.

multi AP scenario create a dead-zone where both AP conflict each other and mobile phone cannot resolve it

I've already posted in the thread with my opinion. Ethernet Backhaul should have been a mandatory feature on launch day for the repeaters, not something thank was hidden by marketing language and then discussed in a forum as "optional feature"!

I have several of your new extenders and your ax gaming router. I have cat 6 wired throughout the household

  @RyanDias I see where TP-Link has announced the Deco X50 Outdoor. 

It looks like it does everything except that is not compatible with OneMesh.

 

The X50 outdoor checks most of the boxes:

Outdoor rated ✅

POE (power over ethernet)✅

Backhaul wired or wireless✅

AX wifi 6 (6e would be better but ok for now)✅

5400 mbs(6600 would be better but 5400 is good for most everyone's needs)✅

 

But this still leaves us OneMesh equipment users behind.

 

Looks like maybe upgrading the Deco line again but not OneMesh.

The Deco's have always had the Ethernet backhaul - with a twist - you HAVE to use a TP-Link switch to connect the Decos and the Decos are on a different Subnet than your router - meaning you cannot do NAT or Port Forwarding to devices connected on your WiFI network...

Pleaae release a firmware update to make backhaul wired and onemesh possible

Add OneMesh Ethernet Backhaul to RE505 range extenders. And allow the new AXE75 ARcher, connect to extenders using ethernet backhaul in OneMesh. This will stop the tempation to reflash with aftermarket firmware, or choos the ASUS ecosystem,which uses AI mesh ethernet backhaul

Please DO share information about "aftermarket" firmware? I think it should be obvious that TPLink is not going to care about this, I already have 4 RE505's purchased that are just lying here - if they brick due to firmware, it's still worth trying since I cannot use them currently at all.

Ethernet Backhaul should be a mandatory feature. I just bought AX archer router with the idea to test it and then decide exacly how many tp-link ax extenders i need to buy in order to use OneMesh. The cables are already implemented. I didnt expected that this future is not available. Before i bought the router i checked in your documentations that some extenders have 1g eth ports and I tought I can use eth backhaul, expecially as tp-link direct competitors have the future available for the same price ranges. This is essensial expecially in a case the client can not make a Star topology, and based on the home need to have two extenders in a chain link. Extender after extender with wireleess backhaul drops the quality too much. Please leave a feedback if you work on it and if it will be available in the future. Will wait before i get the extenders or will think about other solutions. Powerlines are not options in many places due to low quality lines leading to really low speeds (few mbps) and drops. Thank you in advance!
