Would love to see EasyMesh on my AXE95 router. My older AX21 supports it, but not my newer AXE95. Currently have the AX21 operating in AP mode with a separate network name.
Both AXE95 and AX21 support Onemesh, so I believe you can still build up a mesh network even though AXE95 doesn't support EasyMesh at the moment.

Hello.
Is AX17 (EU) on list with possibility to get ethernet backhaul?
And second question: ethernet backhaul works also backwards on input wan port of main router or satellites shoud connect via LAN ports?
I have also two AX53 behind my ISP router which does not yet support easy mesh. And I wonder if I should have WIRED network connected differently.
It would be really nice to have Easy mesh in AP mode.
@lemiel Regarding the Archer AX53, it already supports EasyMesh Ethernet Backhaul, check my original post:
EasyMesh Routers Support Building a EasyMesh Network via Ethernet Backhaul NOW
If your AX53 is V1, you can install the provided beta firmware and wait for the official release in the near future.

@lemiel Apologies, but we haven't received any advance notice about Ethernet Backhaul support for the Archer AX17. I will update the list in my original post once it's available.

When using Ethernet Backhaul in Router mode, the satellite router should connect to the main EasyMesh router via LAN ports. If the main router support EasyMesh in AP Mode, then you can connect both the main and satellite to the front-end router/gateway as described here:

Whell I can't see the AX17 on this list Ethernet Backhaul EasyMesh Routers.
From what I have read the secondary routers should be connected on LAN ports only. Also they have to be reseted before connected to the main router and all should be done automaticaly after connecting. You can read a couple of pages behind, as there are some explanations on the matter.

@woozle actually I did all of that. and also I tried to use TCP and then UDP config, but still cannot change my ip location even tho the status on TPLink is "Connected".
Will TPLink release the official firmware or they will stop only until Beta Firmware? :( because the beta firmware already more than 6months and seems there is not future development anymore :(

The VPN Client of the AX53 V1 with the beta firmware works fine for me, although I don't have Proton VPN.
So, the problem might be specific to Proton VPN.
By the way, when switching back and forth between VPN Client enabled and disabled make sure you are not being fooled by your web browsers cache when checking your external IP address via a website. Either clear the browser cache each time you check or use another browser or another "what's my IP" website.
