So I am looking forward to it! I bought ax55 pro v1 a week ago because support confirmed that it has ethernet backhaul. Unfortunately, I was very saddened when I found information on the Internet that it does not have it, however. I have been trying to get this feature working for a week and thought I was doing something wrong.
I have an additional 3 archer c6 routers and wanted to set the ax55 pro router as the main one in the house.
What version number (eu) will this update have?

Hello,
Mainly just posting to advocate for the EasyMesh feature to be implemented to the AX6600 Archer GX90 router v. 1.6
Was bought few years ago, still a premium device. Only it doesn't feature EasyMesh.
Question for anyone out there:
I just purchased an AX10, and would like to establish a wired back haul of some sorts with my main gx90. I prefer to do this by setting AX10, either as wireless mesh, or wired AP. Would prefer to have GX90 as main router since it has better specs. If I set AX10 as my main would it even be worth it?
Some tools also available in my arsenal: some EasySmart Managed Switches(108e v6.6, 2 105E v. 5.6 , an RE315, a PA7017P(v. 4.6) power-line kit, as well as some new TP hardware: an AX1500 (v. 1) Travel Router and an LS108GP.
I know I can make something work, but wondering what a more experienced user would do with the hardware available?
Also, can you please update GX90 v1.6 firmware to provide EasyMesh? I didn't care about any of this stuff when I bought it, and I don't wish to up or downgrade.
Thanks all.

On the EasyMesh Product List page it shows that Archer AX12 has wired Ethernet Backhaul support. Is it wrong?
@ledebe As per the firmware release notes, no notes mention that it supports wired/Ethernet Backhaul. I will feedback to the web admin to check or update the list.
Thank you very much for the feedback.
Please follow up on this. I purchased two AX12 routers after confirming on the webpage which is linked on this thread. Also, the support webpage of the router does not list any firmware downloads.
@ledebe We've checked with the development team and confirmed that Archer AX12 has not yet implemented EasyMesh with Ethernet Backhaul. The website listed it wrong and the website admin will update it as soon as possible.
Considering you've just purchased the routers, it's suggested to contact your reseller to replace them with a model that is confirmed to support EasyMesh with Ethernet Backhaul as illustrated on the first page of this thread.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. If there is an issue with the replacement, we would be happy to forward your case to the local support team. Please let us know if you require any further assistance.

@Yazza007 As per the EasyMesh Compatibility List and also confirmed with the engineering team, AX55 Pro V2/v2.6 does support EasyMesh with Ethernet Backhaul.
AX55 Pro V1 has not yet integrated EasyMesh with Ethernet Backhaul, but a new version of firmware that adds support for EasyMesh with Ethernet Backhaul is on the way and it could be available for upgrade in a week or two.
