On the EasyMesh Product List page it shows that Archer AX12 has wired Ethernet Backhaul support. Is it wrong?
@ledebe As per the firmware release notes, no notes mention that it supports wired/Ethernet Backhaul. I will feedback to the web admin to check or update the list.
Thank you very much for the feedback.
Please follow up on this. I purchased two AX12 routers after confirming on the webpage which is linked on this thread. Also, the support webpage of the router does not list any firmware downloads.
@ledebe We've checked with the development team and confirmed that Archer AX12 has not yet implemented EasyMesh with Ethernet Backhaul. The website listed it wrong and the website admin will update it as soon as possible.
Considering you've just purchased the routers, it's suggested to contact your reseller to replace them with a model that is confirmed to support EasyMesh with Ethernet Backhaul as illustrated on the first page of this thread.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. If there is an issue with the replacement, we would be happy to forward your case to the local support team. Please let us know if you require any further assistance.

@Yazza007 As per the EasyMesh Compatibility List and also confirmed with the engineering team, AX55 Pro V2/v2.6 does support EasyMesh with Ethernet Backhaul.
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.

I installed the Beta Firmware (Archer_AX53_V1_1.2.4_Build_20240206) on my TPLink AX53 (US Version) a few weeks back.
Now it looks like the stable version has been released, where can I find/download the latest build (1.2.4 Build 20240509)?
@SeventySix As responded to others above, the latest official version Archer AX53(EU)_V1_240509 doesn't support EasyMesh Ethernet Backhaul. It's suggested to stay with the provided beta firmware if you require to implement the EasyMesh network with Ethernet Backhaul.
BTW, is your AX53 an EU version or a US version?

I'm on the new firmware, and unfortunately the ethernet backhaul doesn't work on the new official firmware.
I am currently using the second router as an access point.
@AngeloWinicius Yes. You're correct. The latest official version Archer AX53(EU)_V1_240509 doesn't support Ethernet Backhaul.
Please stay with the beta firmware we provided in the original post to implement the EasyMesh network with Ethernet Backhaul.

I tested Archer x53 v1 new official firmware, but the ethernet backhaul not functioning. In the beta firmware working, but only if the main and satellite routers have wireless connection and find each other then change to ethernet backhaul.
@OcsiBardos As far as I can confirm, the official version Archer AX53(EU)_V1_240509 doesn't include Ethernet Backhaul. You may check the release notes which mention 'Enhanced device security'.
If you require Ethernet Backhaul, please stay with the beta firmware until the new official firmware mentions it supports EasyMesh Ethernet Backhaul.
