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.

@David-TP , @Joseph-TP I am concerned because until recently the RE800BE 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 one and a half years ago in Europe and there has been not a single update since.
When can we expect some attention for this expensive Wifi 7 range extender? Or did TP Link decide this model wont receive any more support for basic functionality like Ethernet backhaul which should have been included in the first place?

@David-TP Is there plan for the RE715X range extender to support Easy Mesh with Ethernet backhaul? I bought 2 of these under impression that they were supported, however when troubleshooting found they are not, which is very disappointing.

@tchirou &@mrk2005 &@Blumberger,
We're pleased to have obtained the RE700X(EU)_V1_1.2.10(pre-release firmware) for you.
Please refer to the FAQ for manual firmware updates: How to upgrade the firmware of my range extender (new logo)
If you have any feedback, please feel free to leave a reply here.
There is no clear information on when the EU version of the RE705X will be updated with new firmware. If there is an update, I will notify you as soon as possible.
I'm testing this version of devices on my RE700X V1 (EU), and with EasyMesh enabled, Wi-Fi 6 devices connect without issue, but Wi-Fi 5 or older devices don't get an internet connection. They connect to Wi-Fi but get a "No internet connection" message.
With EasyMesh disabled, all devices connect without any issues.

Hello@Juan11,
Welcome to our community.
May I know if your network topology diagram is as follows:
ISP modem—router)))((( RE700X
(Note: — stands for wired connection,)))((( stands for wireless connection )
What are the models of the WiFi 5 clients and older clients?
Have you tested 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz separately? Does it occur on both bands?
When the wireless connection drops on these clients, can they still be connected to the main router?
Please verify that the security type has been set to WPA2/WPA3 - Personal. Try changing it to WPA/WPA2-Personal (Recommended) for a test
