@Kevin_Z The AX3000 pro does not support ethernet backhaul via Easymesh. When I switched to an AX1500 as the main router and another AX1500 as the satellite, backhaul was supported. I would appreciate to know if there is a timeline to add ethernet backhaul to the AX3000 pro...

Hello @Marvin_S
I updated my AX53 V1 (SG) to the official 1.2.4 Build 20240509 rel.64683(5347).
It seems ethernet backhaul is still not working on that version. The router crashes if I try to set up ethernet backhaul
Can you confirm?
Thank you

Hi, thanks for your update.
May I confirm that you downloaded the firmware I shared and upgraded it? What I shared is for EU version, if your Archer AX53 V1 is SG version, I am afraid that it is not suitable.
There will be new firmware release for SG version and you can take online update directly in the near future.
Or you may temporarily download and upgrade this: Archer AX53_V1(SG)_240509
If you still failed to set up the Ethernet Backhaul, please share your network topology, the model of all your routers, how did you find the crash and so on.

Good morning Marvin!
Does the AX53 v1 that is sold in Brazil use Firmware SG?
There was an official firmware update on the Brazilian website, but with the comments about problems with the ethernet backhaul being updated, I didn't update it. Can I use this SG temporary firmware on my Brazilian version router?

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)?

Thanks for the reply.
I tried to use the WebApp, but no new update was found.
It doesn't say that it is the "Latest Official Firmware" on the post, so I'm a bit confused about the source.
