Moderator Note:
1. The availability of EasyMesh Ethernet Backhaul may vary by region even for the same model. Please check your local website for more information.
2. The above list might not include all models and hardware versions. It is recommended to keep watching the firmware releases for your router, as the EasyMesh Ethernet Backhaul will be listed in the patch notes if/when it is added to your version.
Some of our EasyMesh Wi-Fi routers have added support for establishing a seamless mesh network via EasyMesh Ethernet Backhaul. You can now connect two or more EasyMesh devices together by wiring the satellite device to the main EasyMesh router. Please check for the updates on your router web GUI or Tether App for the new firmware, update and install the latest official firmware on the router to explore all the new features like EasyMesh Ethernet Backhaul.
Or you can download the latest official version from the local website and upgrade the firmware manually as follows:

At this time you can't access the satelite devices via a browser.
I use an Archer C80 as my main router, from the firmware update screen it lets me update the firmware on the satelite devices all from the one screen.

You're right, my mistake, I didn't see it, there is a firmware update in the section of the main router for each router in satellite mode! 
Dear @Kevin_Z
Just to correct that every router in satellite mode shows and broadcasts the guest network, and everything will be extra!
If I can make a proposal to exclude the guest network from Whitelist access control via MAC address, that would make things much easier, because then everyone who comes as a guest for a few hours could access the network without having to disable and turn off Access Control every time!

@Kevin_Z When do you update Ethernet Backhaul for Archer AX53?
Now my main router is AX73. And I can't move AX53 to closer to AX73.
But I have a wire from AX73 to AX53.
Hope to get it soon.

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,
I suggest you check the label on the router another time and verify it does indeed read "Model: Archer C80(US) Ver:2.20".
If it does, then maybe try to upgrade from 1.11.5 to a (US) 1.12.x version first and in case that works, then either stay with it or continue upgrading to (US) 1.13.x.

I think at this point only TP-Link support would be able to help you further. Maybe there is a bug in this particular firmware version 1.11.5.
