Range Extenders Support OneMesh/EasyMesh in AP Mode
Hey everyone!
We got some feedback from our community users requesting for Range Extender to support OneMesh/EasyMesh when works as an Access Point.
Currently, OneMesh/EasyMesh is not supported when the extender is set to Access Point Mode. However it is planned to support EasyMesh over Ethernet Backhaul under Range Extender mode.
It will start with RE315_V1 and gradually be added to other EasyMesh-supported extenders.
RE315 Supports EasyMesh Over Ethernet Backhaul
Note:
1. An extender needs to support EasyMesh (over Wi-Fi) first, then supports EasyMesh over Ethernet Backhaul.
2. Ethernet Backhaul only works when both your main router and satellite extender support EasyMesh over Ethernet Backhaul.
Other Mesh Options:
Option 1: Deco mesh system supports Ethernet backhaul under both Wireless Router and Access Point modes.

TP-Link seriously needs to fix this.
Backstory. I had a wireless router (older) from another brand. But adding smart devices in our home overloaded it. So I purchased an Archer wireless router (AX1800). Having a USB port for shared storage was required and the TP-Link provided that. The product works for me, no issues, full home coverage. We added a shop on our propery and the router just didnt reach out there, its in a central location to our home. So I decided to get a TP Link extender (RE200) and it "sort of" works. The connection is very unreliable and slow. To fix this, I ordered a couple hundred feet of direct burial cat 6 and ran cabling between a switch I have in the garage and the shop and plugged the RE200 in. Well, doing so broke the entire network. After googling I found out that you cannot run the RE200, or any OneMesh product, with ethernet backhaul. WHY NOT? Never in a million years would I have imagined that would not be a feature.
I know TP-Link offers the Deco line, and admittedly Deco would do exactly what I am trying to do. But my home router works perfectly fine! Im not going to throw it out to go all Deco. That would be a huge waste! Im also not even sure I can do that because the Deco devices dont have USB ports to attach storage??? The simplest and most reliable option for me would be a simple firmware update to enable ethernet backhaul.
As much as my AX1800 has served me well, at this point I will never again by a TP-Link product unless this is addressed.

Nowhere in the marketing material or box does it say OneMesh only works via wifi. Bought the following thinking they could form a OneMesh network via Ethernet... all will now be returned as are not 'as advertised' !
1x TP-Link AC1200 Dual-Band Gigabit Wi-Fi Router
2x TP-Link AC1200 Mesh Extenders
Sorry TP-Link... you had me as a customer, but have now lost one.

hi @Solla-topee,
I just want to let you know that I am the owner of two RE505X extenders, and I really would like it to support ethernet backhaul! Is there any feedback from the development team?
Best regards,
Balazs

this would be great to see on the RE815X and is actually the entire reason i purchased the RE815X extender to work with my AX90 router.
Also, we need 5G-2 Onemesh backhaul support ASAP.
Come on TP-LINK, you charge enough for your products to put some development into these no-brainer features to create a unified experience.
Router: AX90
Extenders: RE505X and RE815X
