Good morning,
I don't see the AX58 V1 router in your table, you only mention the A58 V2.
Will version V1 ever be supported?
@Fabien31 Thanks for asking and welcome to the community.
Apologies that we haven't received advance notice on whether the AX58 V1 will support EasyMesh Ethernet Backhaul.
We can only provide a definite answer once a model receives beta or official version of firmware to support it. We will update this thread and add more supported models to the list as they become available.

Because I have an AX58V1 as a main router and an AX53V1 as a secondary router (with version 1.2.4 which supports Backhaul)
Should I invert by putting the AX53 as main and the AX58 as secondary?
To this question, the answer is no. Only when both the AX53 and AX58 support Ethernet Backhaul, you can connect them via an Ethernet cable to build up a mesh network.

@Kevin_Z I have two AX55 Pro(EU) V1 routers. I have updated the firmware to 1.3.1 Build 20240426 (Pre-released version). I reset the second router, did everything according to the instructions for EasyMesh connection.
The Ethernet (backhaul) connection does not work. The two routers connected via wifi (the icon says so and the speed).
@kostyax Can you please reset the satellite AX55 Pro once again and follow this guide to add it to the mesh system via an Ethernet cable directly?
Please make sure the cable is good.
Once connecting them via an Ethernet cable directly, please login to the web management page again to check what is the status of EasyMesh, will it show an Ethernet connection or Wi-Fi?

@Lovage Thank you for asking.
I will check with the development team to see if they can provide a beta version or a pre-released version for AX12 to support EasyMesh Ethernet Backhaul.
I will update here once there is one.

May I ask how the table is sorted? I have 2 TP-Link routers and I've been watching this list for a while now for the AX55 Pro (v1) and the AX55. I can't tell whether the latest entries are added at the top, or in some arbitrary sequence.
It's not an important question, but would help me to spot when or if my routers' firmware gets updated without having to scan the entire list.
Thank you.
@MichaelP_AU Very good question.
I potentially add those newly supported Ethernet Backhaul models on the top, but it may not be 100% the same way.
I will add another column to show the updated date, do you think that would be helpful?

Ok as i read back a few comments other peoples had the same issue with ax12 .. since i already has one .. my question is if i muy a ax 10 which is compatible with Ethernet Backhaul for sure, does both device has to be compatible? Or only one is enough?
@RagingSquirrel Both routers are required to support EasyMesh Ethernet Backhaul to build up the ethernet connection for a mesh network.
Since this Archer AX12 is new, you may contact the reseller to check if he can help replace it with a model that already supports Ethernet Backhaul.
