When will ax53 v1 be supported easymesh with ethernet backhaul ?
@PhuQui Sorry that I am unable to provide you with a precise firmware release date. I would recommend that you monitor the firmware releases on the router web GUI or Tether App.
If you have an urgent need to utilize the Ethernet backhaul, I suggest that you consider upgrading to the beta firmware we have provided in my original post here.

Hi,
Not sure if you want to double check on AX23V (JP) to add it to the list, but if someone is interested I have bought one and it supports Ethernet backhaul.
AX23V is sold in Japan. I acquired one and was able to set it up as an EasyMesh satellite
Model: Archer AX23V
Firmware Version: 1.0.2 Build 20240429
Scenario:
Archer AX10 v2.0 (US) as main router
Archer AX23V as EasyMesh satellite using a Cat6 network wire
I've checked on AX10 web UI that AX23V connection type appears as wired and some clients were connected to it.
@Lulito Thank you very much for your valued information.
Yes, I do confirm that Archer AX23V(JP) also supports EasyMesh Ethernet Backhaul. I will add it to my supported device list for other Japanese users' reference.

Dear @Kevin_Z, I've got the AX55 V1. Not the AX55 Pro...unfortunately. Also, Is there any timeline for implementing EasyMesh Ethernet Backhaul on the RE705X?
@Jehoash Sorry. I haven't got an advanced notice yet. You may subscribe to the following thread to get the most updated information when an extender will support EasyMesh Ethernet Backhaul:

Hey Bud,
I've tried the Beta version for the AX55 V1, The wired ethernet backhaul feature isn't stable while moving around, the satellite loses network and drops out completely. I am waiting for the bug-fixed version.
Just so you know, I'm using the AX55 v1 as the primary and the RE705x as the satellite Mesh node. As far as I know, even the Beta version has been suspended, I'm looking forward to seeing the official release soon.
Best,Jehoash
@Jehoash Is the model number Archer AX55 Pro V1? Can you please check the firmware version of it now on its web interface page?
According to the following thread, RE705X doesn't support Ethernet backhaul at the moment:
EasyMesh Range Extenders Start Supporting Building an EasyMesh Network via Ethernet Backhaul
When building the EasyMesh network via Ethernet Backhaul, both the router and the RE should support it.
BTW, the 1.3.1 official version has been published on the website, please try to download and upload it into your router manually again to check if you can get a stable connection via EasyMesh.
