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.

Hello@Dzejson90 ,
Thanks for contacting our community!
Firmware for different hardware versions is generally not compatible with each other.
Model and hardware version availability varies by region. Please refer to your TP-Link regional website to determine product availability.

@David-TP A list of EasyMesh Range Extenders that Support a EasyMesh Network via Ethernet Backhaul

I understand what you're saying and I've already checked it, but I'm asking because there's no European firmware version that supports Ethernet backhaul, but there is for other countries, such as the US, for versions V3 and V4. I thought someone had already discussed flashing a different version.

I'm experiencing slower speeds with ethernet backhaul (60-150Mbps) than with wireless backhaul (250-300Mbps) on my RE705X in easymesh mode. My main router usually achieves speeds of 280-320Mbps.
It just doesn't make sense to me because shouldn't I be theoretically experiencing better speeds with ethernet backhaul?
This is also true with I use Access Point mode with ethernet backhaul. But the speeds are actually worse in this mode.
----------------------------------------------
Main Router: AX53 V1 US
Satellite: RE705X V2 US
Both devices with up to date firmware and both confirmed to support Easymesh with ethernet backhaul and this is confirmed in the settings. Connected by CAT6 ethernet cable. 300Mbps internet plan.

@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 RE705X v1.0 UK support still in progress?

@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.
