I don't have that option available to update.  Did you somehow force that on V1 are you certain you have V1.0 Hardware (as opposed to say v1.6?

 

 

1.1.9 Build 20240426 Rel. 51213

 

When I try firmware update via the device it says up to date

No it is not supported in RE705X v1.0 fw. version: 1.2.10 Build 20250627.

 

EU v1 is still not supported. Up list of supported devices and versions

Oddly enough, nothing helped in my case. There must be another factor at play.

AX80RU still writes that the extender is offline, although it is working and there are clients.

In this case I am in USA.  I'm not sure I want to risk putting the EU image on the USA device.   It looks like from your experiment above it is also not working.  I'll hold off for now, since I don't feel like buying a new $200 device for my bedroom (mostly kindle and alexa).  So I can live with slower WIFI backhaul instead of wired.

  @IDontSpeakMonky hi, i did nothing , the device updated automatically, because I'm using automatic updates. I looked at official tplink site of my country and there is no such fw version like after automatic update, there are only older versions. i don't understand that.

Hello@IDontSpeakMonky &@RobBR,

 

As far as I know, both the EU versions of the RE705X_V1 and V2 already support EasyMesh Ethernet Backhaul. Please refer to: 
RE705X(EU)_V2_1.2.0 Build 20250808

RE705X(EU)_V1_1.2.10 Build 20250627

 

The US version of the RE705X_V2 also supports this feature, but there's no specific information yet about the RE705X(US)_V1. Please note the upcoming firmware update.heart

Hello @p3acemaker  & @STN ,

We've initially determined that this display anomaly is due to the EasyMesh components on the router and Range Extender not being fully synchronized.
If it doesn't affect network usage, we recommend waiting for a subsequent firmware update. We will gradually update the components to synchronize and display the correct status.

I appreciate your patience.heart
