OneMesh ethernet backhaul with 2 Archer AX72 routers
Hello,
I have 2 identical Archer AX72 v1 routers, connected over an ethernet cable. One of them is connected to the internet modem.
I'd like to merge them into an OneMesh network, to get it's benefits over having 2 separate Wi-Fi networks (even if they have the same name). Is this possible?
I tried entering settings for OneMesh and I do see the second router there but if I press Add if fails with a message "Operation failed.".
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your answers!
Kind regards,
Rok
P.S.: some screenshots

You're targeting mesh features - AP mode won't give the fast switching.
Good news is that AX72 router is on the list for EasyMesh - better wait till EasyMesh feature is implemented in AX72 FW and then you'll be able to have this feature with your AX72.
EasyMesh is planned to be implemented with an ethernet backhaul and in AP mode as well.

@terziyski thanks for the reply.
Will the AP mode give me fast switching between the 2 routers?
The problem I'm actually trying to solve is that when I connect to Router 1 and then walk to Router 2, my device is still connected to Router 1, with a weak connection and it doesn't automatically switch to Router 2 which would obviously be way better since I'm right next to it.

@terziyski that's brilliant, can't wait for EasyMesh. Thanks for letting me know.
Would you have any idea when it's planned to be released? Are we talking about weeks, months or years?
