New Release EasyMesh Routers Support Building a EasyMesh Network via Ethernet Backhaul NOW
thanks for the prompt reply. It's a pity that the local firmware doesn't support the latest updates.
Strangely my other C80 version 1.0 has the easymesh feature (pic above). Can you help to check if the easymesh feature on this firmware (1.13.2) is as expected? Asking so that I know that if I go out to get another C80 version 1.0, i would then be able to update it to this version and it would also have easymesh.
Thanks

Thanks for the detailed explanation, everything works as it should and the icon shows whether the satellite device is connected via a LAN cable or wirelessly.
It only bothered me because somewhere in the explanation (tutorial) I saw that it was possible to change the access method and to choose the backhaul method instead of wireless, that remained unclear to me.
I still have doubts about my first question and how to access the satellite device via the browser if, for example, a new firmware appears and I want to update it, because now it is not possible to access the satellite devices... does this mean that the satellite devices must first are deleted from the EasyMesh network so that they are updated to the new firmware, and only after that they add to the EasyMesh network again?Also a problem because the guest network does not exist on any of the satellite devices and is not displayed even if it is enabled on the main router AX73!?
Thanks!
@woozle thank you so much for your detailed explanation with regard to EasyMesh backhaul. Great job, and a lot of thanks to you. I'm impressed and I appreciate all of your continuous input to our community. I hope you can always be such enthusiastic as always you are and I hope you can also benefit from the community and our fellow community members.
@zexoni70 I'm happy to see EasyMesh works fine in your network and thank you very much for your valued feedback.
Regarding EasyMesh Backhaul, I see woozle has provided a very detailed and specific explanation of how the backhaul works between mesh nodes. woozle is very knowledgeable and knows much about our TP-Link devices. He can explain some of the device's work mechanisms better than me and he is absolutely right about how EasyMesh backhaul works.
When the C80 works as a satellite device, you'll no longer be able to login to its web management page or modify any settings. This will be optimized in the future.
Regarding the Guest Network, the satellite node will not extend the Guest Network or IoT Network from the main. It only extends the main network. This could be also optimized in the future.
