  @Kevin_Z The second router previously worked as an access point without building an easy mesh. It was connected via a 2.5Gb port to the main router (also 2.5Gb). Everything worked fine. I'm sure of the port's functionality.
Only in Easy Mesh Satellite mode the 2.5 port does not work. It is impossible to even connect devices to it. But when I reset Easy Mesh it works as Wan/Lan stable.

 

@kostyax I see. Thank you very much for the verification.

 

So once configured as a satellite router and connected to the main AX55 Pro via its LAN port (gigabit port, it's not the 2.5G WAN port) to build up EasyMesh network via Ethernet backhaul successfully, it's still not working if you connect it to the main or any of the client devices via the 2.5G port?

 

If that is the case, I would like to escalate your case to our support engineers to investigate further.

I can also confirm I have the same issue as @kostyax .  The 2.5G port doesn't work at all on the satelite router when in Ethernet backhaul mode using 1G ports. The satelite's 2.5G port works fine when not in Ethernet backhaul mode.

And I can add that the 2.5G port works on the main router (to a client device) when the main router is in 1Gbps Ethernet backhaul mode with the satelite. So it appears to be something in the satelite code thats not running the 2.5G port.

Ideally I would like to run the Ethernet backhaul link over the 2.5G ports, otherwise theres no point me having the AX55 pro versions vs the non-pro.

I have 2x "Archer AX55 Pro v1.0" both on "1.3.1 Build 20240426 rel.31941(4555)". I have a 2.5G capable link between my office and my main router, and I need that 2.5G link to support bandwidth between my office and my NAS etc which is located where the main router is. So ideally I would like to run the easymesh satelite AX55-pro in my office with 2.5G Ethernet backhaul to my main AX55-pro router.

Thank you very much for your detailed information.

 

When connecting the two AX55 Pro via the 1G LAN-LAN, and connecting a PC to the satellite 2.5G port, will the PC get a valid IP address and gateway? Are you able to ping the gateway?

 

We will also escalate your case to our support engineers for further investigation, please follow up with the engineers directly and update the community once there is a solution.

  @Kevin_Z 

No. When using that 2.5G port on the satellite plugged in to a client, the client acts as if there is no network cable plugged in.

Hi

Do you have feedback from developer about beta or pre-released version blackhaul for ax12?

  @Kevin_Z 

Hey Bud, 

I've tried the Beta version for the AX55 V1, The wired ethernet backhaul feature isn't stable while moving around, the satellite loses network and drops out completely. I am waiting for the bug-fixed version.

Just so you know, I'm using the AX55 v1 as the primary and the RE705x as the satellite Mesh node. As far as I know, even the Beta version has been suspended, I'm looking forward to seeing the official release soon.

Best,

Jehoash

Hi,

Not sure if you want to double check on AX23V (JP) to add it to the list, but if someone is interested I have bought one and it supports Ethernet backhaul.

AX23V  is sold in Japan. I acquired one and was able to set it up as an EasyMesh satellite

Model: Archer AX23V

Firmware Version: 1.0.2 Build 20240429

Scenario:

Archer AX10 v2.0 (US) as main router

Archer AX23V as EasyMesh satellite using a Cat6 network wire

I've checked on AX10 web UI that AX23V connection type appears as wired and some clients were connected to it.

  @Kevin_Z  when would the ax53 V1 getting the ethernet backhaul for easymesh officially? last official non beta update was like 2 months ago, and it just "enchances device security". could i get an estimate when the beta firmware would be pushed to the official firmware? thanks in advance!

  @Kevin_Z 

Hey Kevin,

I've got the AX55 V1. Not the Pro...unfortunately.
