Would be really nice if the onemesh repeaters support ethernet backhaul functionality. Bought a archer ax 55 and a ax 1500 repeater with the idea to get them functioning with ethernet backhaul. When installing, I was really dissapointed.

Dear TP-link, 

 

Here is my take on why this feature is needed. I've tested different set-ups at both my friends and my own house. 

 

1. AX6000 + RE605X

- this is my original set-up that is my daily driver for the past three years (AX6000 came first). 

Pros:

+ feature reach, AX6000 has all that I need, including USB, time machine back-ups, VPNs, - overall, fantastic router

+ RE605X works great as an extended, now used as a AP - great speeds, stability of the connection

+ OneMesh works seamlessly, but with a lot of performance loss for WiFi backhaul. 

 

Cons:

- when connected as OneMesh, I lost 50% of the bandwidth for clients connected to RE605X (which is a show-stopper for me; just couldn't stand to waste the bandwidth)

 

2. Deco X50 (with Ethernet backhaul) - installed at my friend's house; monitoring it once in a while

Pros:

+ super simple to set-up

+ no loss of bandwidth

+ basically, just what you would want from a mesh system

 

Cons:

- feature poor solution, works only if you have basically no other use cases as a good WiFi

- no DNS and VPNs

- very few ethernet connections (would need an additional switch for wired clients, which i did not install)

 

3. Asus ROG, installed at my friend's house, monitor it once in a while

Pros:

+ great stability

+ ethernet backhaul to a simpler router

+ feature reach, a lot of connectivity

 

Cons:

- a bit more difficult to install/set-up, but I could live with that. 

 

So, I will stick with my AX6000+RE605X set-up until it works, but with the next upgrade, I will look for something different, probably ASUS. The simple reason is that without the backhaul, there is little point in having this technology. I need the features of a router and the speed/quality of the Mesh system. 

 

Anyways, ping me if you want to know details. 

 

Anyone who has similar experiences or more alternatives to my #3, please also write. I need more options. 

 

TP-Link: what's your take on this?

I would love to have this too. I’m already too invested in TP-Link products to change brands. LOL.

 

AX73

RE215 x 3

AX1500 x2

C54

 

I hope this includes at least the first three.
