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:

Good morning,
with the new firmware for the Ax53.
If I understand correctly, I can have my Ax58 router as the main one and put an Ax53 as the Ethernet access point.
Do I benefit from easymesh over Ethernet across my entire network?
THANKS
@Fabien31 Generally, building up the mesh network via ethernet backhaul could create faster speeds and a more reliable connection than a Wi-Fi connection, then enjoy the best possible network performance.

Hello @Kevin_Z ,

Hello guys, I'm having a random problem with this firmware on the ax53 v1. I've noticed twice that the smart connect function turned itself off, I don't know why. The first time I saw it turned off I reactivated it, and today it was off again. Beta firmware: 1.2.4 Build 20240206 rel.41393(5553)

I tested a little today and it seems to me that after turning on my Nintendo Switch and connecting to WiFi, a few minutes later the Smart Connect turns itself off. I'm keeping an eye on it, but that seems to be the case. very strange...

@Neon1234XX What is the region version of your AX53v1? Is it a US version or an SG version?
As far as I can confirm, both versions should be able to install this beta version. Please make sure you've unzipped the file before uploading it into the router.
