Ok.

 

Also make sure two Archer C6 are not too far away from each other when attempting to add the Satellite. (preferably within the same room)

 

Since both routers are Archer C6 V4, have you tested whether the result is any different if you switch them around? Like, use the other Archer C6 as Satellite and make the new C6 the Main router.

  @woozle I have been doing this I.e factory reset the new router and try to add it as satellite from main router. However it doesn't show up in the search ( I have tried with everything I.e a) without LAN connected b) LAN wire connected in LAN of new router and 3) LAN wire connected in WAN of new router).

It is okay to login to change the mode to "Satellite". But after the mode was changed (rooter will reboot automatically) you should not login again.

 

By the way, personally I find it much easier to just reset the router to factory defaults via the physical button on the router (press and hold "Reset" for about 5 seconds) and after it has booted up again I just add it as a Satellite from the Main router's web interface.

  @woozle thanks but I'm not able to figure how to change the new router mode to Satellite without login into it?

Hi,

 

Note that it is very important that you do not create a login password and log into the router that is to become the EasyMesh Satellite after you have prepared that router by changing the mode to "Satellite" or performing a factory reset.

 

Logging into the router that has been prepared to become a Satellite will break the "Add Satellite" process.

Thanks Sunshine. I tried Method 2 : i.e. connect main router with satellite router on LAN port and tried to login to main router TP-Link webpage but it kept disconnecting (also the internet din't work). Few times when it connected, it was getting logged into the satellite webpage (I could verify based on MAC address).

 

I also tried connecting main router with WAN port of satellite router and I could see it in connected device of main router. But it still doesn't show up in Mesh network. I have double checked firmware and both are updated.

Hi, please refer to Scenario 2: Add a new satellite router to EasyMesh in this thread:

How to Build an Ethernet Backhaul Using Two EasyMesh Routers

 

There is no need to add it manually, just check directly on the main router whether the new one will appear on the easymesh device list automatically. If not, please check if both routers are running the latest firmware version.

  @Kevin_Z  I have two C6 v4 and trying to connect them with Ehternet backhaul EasyMesh. However, I am not able to add the satellite router (new C6) to main router (old C6).

 

I tried adding from the old C6 Advanced -> EasyMesh - > Add Satellite Device -> TP-Link Router. It kept searching and did not show the new C6 router in results. 

 

I also tried connecting both the device using WPS button but even that did not work. 

 

I tried to look into setting of new router (which I am trying to set as satellite), but I don't see any option to change it to Satellite mode.

 

Note: All of the above was performed after fatory reset for both new and old router. Please help me fix this.

I still have a hope that the option to use Ethernet for the ax53v1 will come out
