Hi Kevin,
Im trying to set up easy mesh with two Archer C80(US). I have one Version 1.0 which i have upgrade the firmware to support easy mesh.
My second unit is a version v2.20. it is on firmware Version: 1.11.5 Build 220627. The tether app tells me that my firmware is up to date. But with the current firmware, i do not see an option for easymesh or changing it to a satellite unit.
I live in Singapore and from the support center in my region i can only see and download firmware from C80 Ver1.0. https://www.tp-link.com/sg/support/download/archer-c80/#Firmware
. However from this thread i see that v2.20 is supported for easymesh and i also see the firmware available on the US website.
Is there any way i can update the firmware of my v2.20 C80? FYI, I tried downloading and installing the US firmware but it was not successful.
Or do i have to find another version 1.0 in my region?
Thanks,
-G

Hi, as we discussed here earlier last month, we need to take a further confirmation about your network situation, but seemed no response from your side anymore.
It is hard to locate the problem directly based on the information you provided in the past. We really appreciate it if you could continue the troubleshooting with us for next possible progress.

@AngeloWinicius I'm pretty sure you can only access the web ui of the main router, and IoT, Guess network doesn't work with secondary/satellite router

Hi Kevin
I updated the two AX53 v1s online within the router settings, as it informed me of the new update.
However, the guest network and IoT configuration does not go to the second mesh router.
And there is also no browser access to the second mesh router, as you can access it normally on the Mercusys routers.
Can you pass it on to the programmers to release these functions, as they are extremely important!

Hello, I got the exact same issue. I have the same router Archer C80 (US) Ver 2.2r, the same firmware 1.11.5 build 220627, and I am in Singapore. There is no option for easy mesh. I saw that this issue was solved with new firmware with the SG version
Could you share this firmware with me?
