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 thanks for your reply.
I've currently installed a router with backhaul but my wife doesn't want routers in bedrooms as are really ugly (at least the ones compatibles with backhaul..)
if you have any device compatible with be in the plug or the wall, white and not too big I'll be more than happy to buy one of them!!
PS: the power lines have not backhaul right? And are not via Ethernet are just via power line right?

Router mám zapnutý a tak isto mám zapnutý zosilovač a napriek tomu sa nemôžem dostať a prihlásiť na rozšírenú wifi sieť prečo?@David-TP

Hi, Can I have the model number of your range extender as well as the main router?
Did you try to access the extender web UI via http://tplinkrepeater.net?
It is also suggested to use the Tether app. You can manage both the EasyMesh router and extender via the Tether APP.
Best regards.

Hi, The WiFi on the main router and powerline WiFi extender could form an EasyMesh network.
Between the master powerline adapter and the powerline WiFi extender, there is a powerline connection.
From the main router to the master powerline adapter, there is an Ethernet connection.
Archer 72 pro----<cable>---TL-PA8010P~~~<powerline network>~~~~~TL-WPA8631P
Thank you very much and best regards.

Hi, I feel sorry for all the punters looking for TP-Link range extenders that will support ethernet backhaul.
I went down this rabbit hole 6 months ago and after numerous pointless conversations which always ended in something like "ethernet backhaul is planned for device xxxx at some point in the future" I was ready to give up.
I had stepped up to a gigabit Network connection for my ethernet wired house. My old Apple Airports could not exceed 100mbps so they had to be replaced. Wireless was pointless because of solid walls throughout a large, single level home. All but the slowest TP-Link Range Extenders were one way devices.... no backhaul.
My luck changed when a technically minded friend asked, "why aren't you looking at Access Points rather than range extenders?"
I did the research and bought 3 TP-Link WA-TL3001 Access Points. I now have up to 3000mbps speed (even though I can't use that quite yet), bullet-proof ethernet connections, all devices on the network talking to each other and, best of all, spent almost half what I would have spent on 3 of the TP-Link RE705x. The Access Points all have the same Network name (love the Tether app) and my iPhone and Mac automatyically switch to the strongest signal as I walk around the house. Perfect.
Why aren't more people talking about TP-Link Access Points for ethernet backhaul?

That may be your experience, but it's certaily not mine. Which Access Points did you use, and were they all tagged as the same network? I have 3 WA-TL3001 Access Points around the house plus my Archer AX73 - all on the same network. There's no "overlapping" networks from different nodes, as you suggest. It's one network with overlapping wifi zones. Modern devices like iPhones will move to the strongest signal as I walk around the house but they never leave the Network I'm using because it's all the same network.
I didn't mention "Mesh" in my message, I'm talking about achieving ethernet backhaul and wifi coverage. "Mesh" seems to be a way to resolve the problems inherent in WiFi networks but if you have wired ethernet it's largely irrelevant.
Go to any open plan office, or similar, and you'll see no-one is obsessing about "Mesh". They use overlapping wired Access Points all on the same network. That's what I have done.

mesh with ethernet backhaul works with routers in Access Point mode. I use 2 Ax55 as remote nodes for example. The drawback is that they are not so nice and use more power, the advantage is that you can use a larger number of LAN ports.

@serengeti That's a really good solution. Here in Australia you can pick up an AX55 for about the same price as a RE705X. Mesh, ethernet backhaul and multiple LAN ports in one package. Yes, larger than a wall plug Range Extender but so much more useful. And you always have a spare router if your base unit dies!

@David-TP Any plans to support RE330 in the near future?
Curious to what is the difference within RE315 and RE330 or what do the numbers mean?
Also filters for backhaul not working on page.
Bums trying to guess what would tplink do with its products and support for features.
