1. If there had been switches, I would have described it on my topology. NO switches in between of Ethernet backhauls.

2. After a power outage, no device can be reached on the network. For example, no devices are shown on the Tether application. There is no connectivity on the network. All the routers seem to be down.

3. To restore the connectivity, it is needed to switch off all the routers then switch on only the main router. Once it is online, switch on the satellites to restore Mesh network connectivity.

4. It's been a long time Tp-link hasn't published an official firmware for Archer AX53 V1 routers which supports Ethernet backhaul. It's time to do it.

Hi Kevin.

Really dissapointed with this. In the end I returned the VX230v but I still have lost money on the posdtage costs due this this.

I brought another AX1800 that works as expected but as I said, it has to be hidden away, reducing its wifi effectiveness becuase it looks like its been desinged by a five year old with Lego.

Not every router needs to look like something out of a Predator movie, yess the Deco is white but it does not do easy mesh so does not fitin with the current hardware I have.

Hello everybody,

I fully subscribe to PedroBG request

my network configuration is much simpler (AX53 V1 as main, and 1 as satellite), but the ethernet backhaul is fickle, and rarely reconnects on its own once the network is disconnected for any reason.
ts like the satellite falls out of satellite mode, because to reconnect I have to go through the full process of resetting it to default and then setting up as satellite again.
Really hope to see official release of the new firmware soon

  @Kevin_Z Mesh Ethernet backhaul on Tp-link Archer AX53 V1 routers

The following scenario shows us my network topology and the issue I am facing once using Ethernet backhaul on my Mesh network at home.

Topology

My topology is Main Router -TP-link AX72 Pro V1- and 3 Satellite Routers   -TP-link AX53 V1- which are connected to the Main Router via Ethernet cable.

Firmware

The main router was updated to the last version and the satellites to firmware 1.2.4 Build 20240206 (Public Beta Firmware for Trial) which it is supposed to support Ethernet backhaul.

Mesh Configuration

TP-link AX53 V1 routers have been added to the main router as satellites via wireless successfully, it means Wireless Backhaul works in the Wifi Mesh.

Then Ethernet cables have been connected between a LAN port at the main router and the WAN por at the satellites successfully. A few minutes after, Ethernet Backhaul started to work successfully.

Issue

Once a power outage happens, the network stability is lost after power is reestablished.

Request

When will the Tp-link archer AX53 V1 router firmware be updated to an official one which supports Ethernet backhaul and to replace the public beta firmware 1.2.4 build 20240206?

It is a pending task that Tp-link must develop as soon as possible to resolve the request of many people who have bought this modern router. 

  @Kevin_Z 

Hi Kevin,
I've been using the AX53 v1 in Beta since the beginning and there have been no more updates for it... Is there any forecast?

Mercusys routers can access the second router in Mesh without any problems, while TP-Link routers can't. Is there any possibility of this update?

Hi. Thank you for your support

ts not just the backhaul issue but that this device canot act as a satellite (agent) at all.

It's just poor from TP-Link. They have too many models that have confusing and mixed names (how many are called AX1800) and with this many models  they can never hope to support and advance the brand as there are just too many variations to manage.

Hi,

 

That is very unfortunate. I feel sorry for you.

 

I remember others have noticed it before that the filter switches for "Backhaul Connection" on the EasyMesh Product List webpage you mentioned do not work properly. (actually, to me it appears they do nothing at all)

Another waste of time from TP-link.

Wanted a router to use as a EasyMesh Satelitte that was white and unlike all the Arceher models, does not look like its been designed by a 5 year old out of lego, found the VX230v on the website listed as supporting Wired Backhaul.

So purchased the device, and cannot set up as a satelitte. Contacted TP-Link support only to be told....
