What is EasyMesh with Ethernet Backhaul and Why we need it?
EasyMesh with Ethernet Backhaul refers to the Main router and the satellite device are connected via an Ethernet cable to establish an EasyMesh network. Ethernet Backhaul offers a more reliable and faster option compared to EasyMesh with Wi-Fi, ensuring a robust and efficient EasyMesh network setup.
How to create EasyMesh with Ethernet Backahul?
Pre-configuration Notice:
1.Ethernet Backhaul is supported only when both your main router and satellite extender support EasyMesh with Ethernet Backhaul.
>>Router Support List of EasyMesh with Ethernet Backhaul
2.The extender needs to be under wireles range extender mode, not Access Point.
3.Once the Ethernet backhaul is successfully established, the wireless backhaul will be automatically disconnected. Conversely, if the Ethernet backhaul connection gets interrupted, the devices will automatically reestablish the mesh network using the wireless backhaul.
Scenario 1: Change wireless backhaul to Ethernet backhaul
Scenario 2: Add a new satellite Range Extender to EasyMesh
EasyMesh with Ethernet Backhaul stars with RE315_V1, which features an Ethernet Port with a speed of up to 100 m/s. This functionality will gradually be extended to other EasyMesh-supported extenders. We encourage you to share your feedback below regarding your current models of EasyMesh extenders and routers. This feedback will help us prioritize the implementation of EasyMesh on different product models.

@Joseph-TP thanks for your quick reply. I am concerned because until recently this model was shown on the list as "planned" but now it was just taken off the list which is unfortunate and suggest the plan was dropped suddenly and quietly. Also I am concerned since this model was released a year ago in Europe and there has been not a single update since.

@tchirou &@mrk2005 &@Blumberger,
We're pleased to announce that the RE700X (EU) V1.0 firmware, which supports EasyMesh Ethernet Backhaul, is now available. You check if there's new firmware available on the RE700X firmware update interface?
Hi @Joseph-TP
Still nothing on my end
Do you think you could give us a link to download the firmware file ?
thanks a lot

Hi @Joseph-TP
Do you mean something like a staged roll out which takes a few days to reach everyone or a closed testing and it could take weeks/months for the general public to get it ?
Thanks

Last year, I also bought the AX1800 + RE605X V2 kit with the intention of extending my mesh Wi-Fi via Ethernet cable, and I was disappointed. Especially since I paid more for the RE605X extender than for the router.
Is there a newer firmware available, or are you planning to update the firmware using Ethernet backhaul in the RE605X V2?

Hello, I have a TP-link Archer BE800 as a router and 3 x TP-links RE800BE as extenders. As a wired access point, this does cause some issues. I am also curious about the status of the backhaul connection. Is there any light at the end of the tunnel?I hear that there are developments happening, so please keep me informed.
