  @Kevin_Z 

 

Interestingly enough - although mentioned on this forum few days back that AX73 (US/JP version) is getting easymesh + ethernet backhaul support in comming days - on EU site the AX73 completely disappered from list of devices that are planned to get the easymesh support. 

 

I found that ... disappointing ..

 

Any statement on this ..  ?

 

Thanks,

Martin

  @Kevin_Z Do any of these routers support 3G/4G usb dongle and ability to failover to 4G usb if WAN stops working?

Can you paste the link to a page which clearly states, which models support Ethernet backhaul for EasyMesh?

 

I´m afraid you replying to the only post there is that can give you this overview.

 

It is sad, I was disappointed the same as you probably are. I bought pair of AX73´s and I had to return them to store, due to missing eth. backhaul.

 

As I did not need wifi6 nor gigabit speeds over wifi, I steer to four C80´s that has eth backhaul and mesh available already - It is 3 times cheeper too so, so the investment is even less for my purpose and due to more access points in a mesh connected the coverage is better then I could achieve with 2 AP´s. The speed would not be better for me as I have 500Gb/s from my ISP and C80 is capable of 1200/600 if I´m not mistaken - therefore good enough for me. Anyway if the signal is wekened i.e. through wall the speed drops could be significant, so more AP´s in mesh .. the better (I have 4 floors).

 

TP-link should clearly state the Eth backhaul is not supported on most of their products at their websites - it makes HUGE confusions and disappointments - 

Unfortunately it seems to me that the intention is to pretend that everything is supported - the thing is that the support is just virtual - some devices waits more then 2 years to get this feature although it is listed at their webpages - and still nothing.

 

From my point of view it is a strategy tp-link has decided to use

Honestly, it is quite frustrating. One of the main reason for the purchase of this router was for Easymesh, and when 

I found that it is a glorified wireless-repeater setup, I am disappointed. I have done extensive CAT6 cabling just for this

and when I am finally configuring this mesh, I see this wireless limitation.

What's the whole point of Gigabit networking if there is a lagging repeater in-between?

  @Kevin_Z I was reading up on EasyMesh standard and there is a Network Traffic Separation feature (read more). Is this feature implemented as well? If yes, does it support separating Guest Wifi network traffic on all Routers/Access Points from private home wifi?

hi @Kevin_Z,

 

They are all connected by Ethernet Backhaul, so the distance shouldn't matter.

The distance is + 35 / 50 feet apart.  ( 10 / 15 meters )
 

My main C80 is in the cupboard, 2nd is situated in my shed, 3rd on the third floor.

The shed is connected by the Powerline 1 Gb line, the others on the regular network by Cat 5E.

So the 2nd and 3rd are direct connected on the Main.
 

Channels are fixed for both bands, the transmit ( 20 / 40 Mhz ) is on autoselect.

 

 

Regards,

 

Thom

 

@Thom_NL Sorry, I might have misunderstood your initial feedback. Two satellite Archer C80s are connected to the main via Ethernet cable, and the wireless connection is not stable. Am I right? If that is the case, I believe the connection between the C80s should be good and stable since they are connected via Ethernet Backhaul, which could be more stable than wireless.

 

If the wireless connection is not stable, please try to install and run Wi-Fi Analyzer to review the wireless channels, then try choosing those that get less interference with others for the 2.4G and 5G to observe if the connectivity will be more stable.

@Rodrigo_Ipa   @gkns   @WiCurious 

 

woozle is correct. Currently, we can only confirm the mentioned product models support EasyMesh Ethernet Backhaul, other EasyMesh models are waiting for a new firmware.

 

Unfortunately, I cannot provide an ETA now of the exact date or time expectation for the new firmware supporting EasyMesh Ethernet Backhaul. It is suggested to keep an eye on the official website to get more updates.

  @Kevin_Z Any plan to add EasyMesh support to 4G routers (i.e. Archer MR600, MR500 etc)?

As far as I am aware the only place that lists all devices that currently support EasyMesh via Ethernet Backhaul is the first post of this very thread we are in here.
