Hi, sorry to be a bother, but is there any update in the backhaul feature?
If it's dropped I will need to find another router.. I am currently using 2 ax55, If i were to get another router with backhaul, would I need to replace both of mine? Or could I keep them as satellites and backhaul would work?

@Terrantez Sorry that I haven't got advanced notice that when the new firmware will be available for AX55 to support EasyMesh Ethernet Backhaul. We will update the open public resources when it is available.
When requiring the EasyMesh Ethernet Backhaul to work, all the routers including the main and the satellite devices need to support it, which means you need to wait for the new firmware for AX55 if you require to build EasyMesh Ethernet Backhaul with other models.

@Kevin_Z Thank you; I hope you don't mind me asking though, is there a significant difference in hardware between the US and EU versions? just kind of strange that this particular version hasn't received an update yet

Due to the regulation difference in Europe (CE) and America (FCC), the maximum transmit power (or EIRP) is different. The firmware for the EU version might be different from the US on some specific models.
