Thank you very much for the feedback, glad to hear that the AX53 v1 beta firmware works fine for you.
@razr_24 Unfortunately, we don't have advanced notice about when AX53 V1 official firmware will be released, once there is any update, we will update the original post, you could also pay attention to new firmware update via the router web GUI or TP-Link official website.

This thread has been a big help. After trying an AX21 (AX1800) and an AX55 (AX3000) and couldn't get ethernet backhaul to work with my new BE550 (BE9300), I ended up getting an AX80 (AX6000), which linked up via ethernet backhaul beautifully as a satellite. I must say, though, all these various model numbers and designation made the task of choosing the correct router really confusing.
I am disappointed that my Archer AX11000 isn't on the planned support list for Easymesh. It worked great as a great standalone WiFi router for 2yrs. While I can still use it as an AP, now that I got Easymesh to work - especially on ethernet backhaul - there is just no going back to Main Router + separate AP. I sure hope the AX11000 doesn't get orphaned on TP-Link's future support plans.

I'm happy with the latest FW update (20240320 1.2.0) to Archer AXE75 V1!
Finally I have EasyMesh with AX73 & AX23 as satellites & the extra bonus: IoT network.
The only thing I found was that TP-link login is not working.
Thanks!

Hi,
TP-Link login works fine for me with the new firmware. Do you get a specific error message when you try to log in?
