Model: Archer C7  
Hardware Version: V5
Firmware Version: 1.2.1 Build 20220715 rel.19099

Hello all

 

2 years ago it was responded by @Kevin_Z that Archer C7 v5 supports OneMesh™ only in Router mode and that it will be forwarded as a feature request to TP_LINK developers for consideration to add the support for OneMesh when the wireless router works as an access point.

 

Archer C7 and Onemesh - Home Network Community (tp-link.com)

 

Is there any progress on this or any committed plans? 

There are quite a few wireless features not available in AP mode and OneMesh is one of the most important ones (incl. MAC filtering) to add....

 

Thanks

Angelos

Some of the routers will support EasyMesh in AP mode as Kevin stated here.

Unfortunately, Archer C7 is not on the compatibility list.sad

  @atsob So Archer C6 support EasyMesh but not C7? That doesn't make sense...

Come on TP Link, OneMesh in AP mode isn't that hard to implement.

It seems only the new hardware versions can get the EasyMesh firmware, and there is no newer hardware for Archer C7.

 

They have added EasyMesh on some of the new hardware models, such as Archer C6 V4, A6 V4, and C80 V2.20, you can check Kevin's thread:

What is Wi-Fi EasyMesh and how does it work with TP-Link routers and extenders? (Q1)
