What specific model number of the ONT Terminal XPON VoIP Wi-Fi 6 Dual Band AX1800 are you referring to? Is it EX230v?
EX230v and EX220 should both already support EasyMesh Ethernet Backhaul.

@Кевин_З Hello! I have read all the pages of the conference and I have a question for you: I use Archer AX72 Pro v1.0 1.3.1 Build 20240426 rel.40133(4555) as the main router, I use the WAN/LAN 2.5 Gb/c port to connect the slave router, the slave router is Archer C80 v.1 1.13.15 Build 240812 Rel.53634n(4555), the network operates in EasyMesh with ethernet backhaul mode. The routers are connected by a 10 m long category 6 cable. I am going to buy and install a SWITCH TP-LINK TL-SG105-M2 next to the slave router, connect the network cable from the main router to the switch (it provides connections at a speed of 2.5 Gbps), and connect the slave router Archer C80 to one of the ports of the SWITCH TP-LINK TL-SG105-M2. Do you think that connecting the SWITCH TP-LINK TL-SG105-M2 will not disrupt the operation of EasyMesh with ethernet backhaul? Best regards, Alexander

Hello,
I have a router Archer C6 V2. I ordered today Archer AX53. Will it be possible to combine these 2 routers in EasyMesh or maybe change the C6 to something newer?
As suggested by TechThomas, just try it.
Make sure the Archer C6 V2 is working as the main router, reset the AX53 to factory mode, then press WPS buttons on both to get them connected.
@Liverpool20 Hi, I have my c6 v2 as main router and ax23, I reset my AX23 and press the WPS button and nothing happen.As a background story, it was setup fine already (I forget how I did it previously :')). Recently my AX23 wont connect to internet but my c6 was fine. So I tried to move it closer to each other but still not working, then I factory reset AX23 and try to use onemesh to connect but it is not available when my C6v2 search it. Can you help me? Thank you in advance
