Ok as i read back a few comments other peoples had the same issue with ax12 .. since i already has one .. my question is if i muy a ax 10 which is compatible with Ethernet Backhaul for sure, does both device has to be compatible? Or only one is enough?
@RagingSquirrel Both routers are required to support EasyMesh Ethernet Backhaul to build up the ethernet connection for a mesh network.
Since this Archer AX12 is new, you may contact the reseller to check if he can help replace it with a model that already supports Ethernet Backhaul.

Hi,
As far as TP-Link's "Archer" series of routers is concerned, the model name is always indicated by the preceding word "Archer". Like "Archer AX12", "Archer AX1500", etc.
Sole mentions of terms like "AC1200", "AX3000", "BE9300" without the word "Archer" directly in front of it do not constitute model names.

Hi .. can you confirm that its not supporting it? Because on the product page the
Archer AX12
AX1500 Wi-Fi 6 Router
and the ax 1500 is indeed on the list.. so is ax 1500 is different than a ax 12 ? or the ax12 is a version of ax1500 ? I am about to buy two ax 12 to use it to Ethernet Backhaul.. but at this point i am really confused..

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.
Do you have any updates?
Thanks
I would like to know too I really need this feature as the advertising (saying it fully supports EasyMesh) is downright misleading... It only supports wireless EasyMesh.
I see the V2 of this router is apparently already supported, but that doesn't really help me when I already got tricked into buying 2x V1 AX55 pro's. It a device doesn't support wired backhaul, then it doesn't support EasyMesh, its as simple as that.

May I ask how the table is sorted? I have 2 TP-Link routers and I've been watching this list for a while now for the AX55 Pro (v1) and the AX55. I can't tell whether the latest entries are added at the top, or in some arbitrary sequence.
It's not an important question, but would help me to spot when or if my routers' firmware gets updated without having to scan the entire list.
Thank you.

I already report about BE550 make so unstable wifi in backhaul easymesh even if is a main router in my system... I talk with engenieers over month but seems they don't know how to solve this problem. I only send to them more and more data. Also BE550 WifI coverage its 1/3 weaker than cheap 3x AX55... this is very sad. WE pay for premium home devices and we become free beta testers.
