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.
EasyMesh Range Extenders Start Supporting Building a EasyMesh Network via 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.

Hi, RE315_V1 will start supporting Ethernet Backhaul for EasyMesh and the official firmware will be released very soon. It will still be in the wireless range extender mode.

The same modification will be gradually introduced to other models but there hasn't been a clear ETA for a certain model.
The Ethernet Backhaul for EasyMesh needs the support of both the range extender and the wireless router. Personally I think, if you haven't got any products yet, and are considering creating an EasyMesh over Ethernet Backhaul using the routers and range extenders, the Deco Mesh series will be a more competitive choice.
Thank you very much and best regards.

@David-TP how about the AX90, RE505X, and RE815X?
it might be beneficial to provide a timeline, or get development to push this release since its such a HIGHLY requested product from your consumer division

I'll be disappointed AGAIN if AX11000 EasyMesh firmware is not released
https://www.tp-link.com/en/blog/290/
Recently, TP-Link announced its plans for a free EasyMeshâ„¢ upgrade for its routers and range extenders. It's worth noting that the newest TP-Link range extenders (RE815XE, RE900XD) will already come equipped with the super-compatible EasyMeshâ„¢ standard.

We're in the same boat "in" with TPLink routers and repeaters without backhaul.
Surely TPLink would prefer that we "upgrade" to newer equipment that supports it. My future purchase of TPLink products when it's time to upgrade will depend on how they respond to this backhaul deal. They'll restore lots of confidence in this brand for me and many others.

@EngineerX agreed - I've been a TP-LINK loyalist for years now, but this has definitely been an eye opener for me

Hi, Normally, the Archer routers and extenders will need to support Easymesh first, then support EasyMesh over Ethernet Backhaul.
@Eightball11854 ,I see Archer AX90, RE505x and RE815X haven't supported EasyMesh yet. I think it still needs quite a while.
You might notice we do not often reply to ETA-related questions as we often lack updated information regarding timelines ourselves. The engineers are quite cautious of predicting the release date and we will not be informed unless the official firmware is expected to be ready within the next few months.
Thank you very much and best regards.

Hi @David-TP!
I'm not fully sure if my Ethernet Backhaul should be already working or not, because both devices: AX55 and RE705X apparently already support Easy Mesh according to this list: support list. I was following this guide "https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/faq/3801/", but the moment I plug the Ethernet cable into my RE, the device goes offline randomly for no reason, which makes the wifi connection very unstable. Will AX55 and RE705X also receive this Ethernet Backhaul update "soon" or is it already released for my devices? " Hi, RE315_V1 will start supporting Ethernet Backhaul for EasyMesh and the official firmware will be released very soon."
