  @woozle thanks but I'm not able to figure how to change the new router mode to Satellite without login into it?

It is okay to login to change the mode to "Satellite". But after the mode was changed (rooter will reboot automatically) you should not login again.

 

By the way, personally I find it much easier to just reset the router to factory defaults via the physical button on the router (press and hold "Reset" for about 5 seconds) and after it has booted up again I just add it as a Satellite from the Main router's web interface.

  @woozle I have been doing this I.e factory reset the new router and try to add it as satellite from main router. However it doesn't show up in the search ( I have tried with everything I.e a) without LAN connected b) LAN wire connected in LAN of new router and 3) LAN wire connected in WAN of new router).

Ok.

 

Also make sure two Archer C6 are not too far away from each other when attempting to add the Satellite. (preferably within the same room)

 

Since both routers are Archer C6 V4, have you tested whether the result is any different if you switch them around? Like, use the other Archer C6 as Satellite and make the new C6 the Main router.

  @Kevin_Z Thank you Kevin for this very useful list. I could not find any similar list for European versions. And the AX58, and AX18, which I was thinking of buying are not listed. So I propose to buy two C80's and link them via existing ethernet cables between the floors of my house. Any comment would be welcome.

I still have a hope that the option to use Ethernet for the ax53v1 will come out

  @rodri66243 I gave up, sold all my AX53v1, and switched to Xiaomi

 

@Kevin_Z Sorry I know it isn't good to say another brand here.

I know you are not in charge as well but hopefully, you can bring this feedback to the tech team so that you guys can learn and improve. I'll tell you what that young brand can do with all lines of products

 

First, they allow me to set up the Master/Controller Mesh Node as Access Point (not Router), so that I can use a very strong PC Router for DHCP.

 

Second, when I plug a fresh Mi Router into the system, it scans and knows that I'm already running a Mesh System in my network and it joins the Mesh Network automatically.

 

Third, the satellites don't need to connect directly to the master. They can just connect directly to the PC Router or any kind of switch. As long as they are in the same VLAN and see each other locally, Mesh will work.

So yeah, my network cabinet is under the basement, I don't have to put a useless wifi node under the basement to work as the Master/Controller, I can just connect 3 routers to walled ethernet ports in 3 rooms and have a complete clean setup.

 

Lastly, all above are still the same on Mi AX1800, which is a router that I bought 4 or 5 years ago (unlike my last year AX53)

  @marrocksd The thing is that I don't understand how the ax53v1, which is newer than several routers that do have the function and has similar hardware, supports EasyMesh but not for use with Ethernet.

 

I never would have expected that my ax10 has it but not my ax53. At least, it would be good to know if it will be available in the future, but it's quite disappointing. I find it hard to believe that the ax53 can't use that function.

 

(By the way, I was very surprised about Xiaomi. I will take it into account if they don't do anything about the ax53.)

EasyMesh Ethernet backhaul between two Archer C80 routers should work fine.

Hi, thank you very much for the information, and we certainly appreciate all your feedback and feature request(s) here.

We are and will continue to improve our products, for example, a public beta firmware of Archer AX55 has supported EasyMesh in AP mode as well: Public Beta for Archer AX55 V1 Supports EasyMesh Ethernet Backhaul, DoH&DoT, ECO Mode and More

 

@rodri66243 We have confirmed that AX53 V1 will support EasyMesh Ethernet backhaul, once there is any update, we will update this thread as soon as possible.

For now, if you need to connect it to your main router via Ethernet cable, you could consider using AP mode on the second router.

Thank you very much for the patience.
