  @taemo Any idea why people cant connect to  guest wifi?

Havent seen any announcement regarding this nor their EasyMesh FAQ .

But like I said, just plug in your EasyMesh Main Router and Satellite Routers behind your Mikrotik Router, use the LAN ports only.

Main difference between Main Router and AP mode are the extra services running in Router Mode such as NAT, and Firewall but those won't do anything if you don't have WAN plugged.
Disable DHCP because I assume you are using your Mikrotik as your DHCP, and assign a different LAN IP on your EasyMesh that doesn't conflict with Mikrotik.

  @MilosJa not sure, might be a separate issue as I just turned on the guest wifi on mine and my test phone connected no problem, it was getting an IP address from my DHCP server and able to access the internet.

Hi to all.

 

I have BE800 with same SSID for 2,4, 5 and 6GHz as main easymesh router and two BE550 as satellites and have to say Im very disappointed how is easymesh implemented. Satellites working properly only on 2,4 and 5GHz. On 6GHz satellites using own SSID "mySSID"_6GEXT. Just why? I cant use full power of WiFi7 routers... I dont want and need extra SSID for 6GHz. MLO doesnt work properly at all. BE800 randomly restarts itself when I have MLO and WMM configured. I have new BE800 and same behave was on BE550 as main router. FWs are so poorly tested.... I dont know what to say. Im using TP-Link routers for years... I have AXE75 but this is another chapter...

  @taemo 

 

the guest even can't connect to wifi if DHCP server is turned off on the router.

 

strange...

  @Kevin_Z I was able to install the beta firmware on my two Archer AX53V1 works fine for me with Ethernet backhaul now.

Thank you!

  @abytecoder Hi, yes, I had deleted the question, I realized about it right after I sent it.

I was looking below, expected it beside AX53 V2.

 

Thank you!

  @Kevin_Z After using it on AX 53 V1 for some time, I have noticed the following issues.

  • For some reason, the ethernet backhaul is disconnected and it is doing a wireless backhaul, I changed the ports from WAN to LAN, but this did not change anything.
  • When I was roaming around with my mobile, it did not switch seamlessly and there was a disconnection for a few seconds which broke the call, I did a speed test while moving around this also broke the connection for a few seconds.

I am hoping this is a bug, and will be fixed in the coming updates.

Thanks

  @Kevin_Z 

 

I managed to get a 1000 mbps connection for AX23 and EX220. The secret was to remove EX220 and sync it again while praying really hard, after the 4th attempt I managed to get 1000 mbps connection.

 

I also tried ethernet backhaul with AX53 V1 with beta firmware and EX220 and managed to get a 1000mbps connection on the first try, however after a reboot the connection reverted to 100 mbps. It would be really helpful if we could get a LAN Connection Speed Negotiation option like we already have for the WAN Port in order to avoid such issues.

 

Wake on Lan doesn't work anymore after I switched to mesh setup, do I have to configure things differently now that my PC is connected to the satellite(EX220) instead of the main router(AX53 V1) ?

  @abytecoder I am not experiencing that issue, although I have just updated the firmware of AX53 V1 one hour ago, reset to factory settings and connected to the main router, AX73 through LAN ports (in both sides) I did not have to touch anything, the AX73 identified automatically the AX53 as satellite and wifi settings are automatically setup in the satellite (AX53)

 

I also performed several speed tests with my Ipad, moving fast from one router to the other and vice versa. No signal lost and speed was around 250-300MB/s, I have 600MB/s hired. When I stand beside any of the routers I get almost the 600 up and down.
