Preferred WiFi Uplink AP feature
Preferred WiFi Uplink AP feature
I’m looking for comments on the Preferred WiFi Uplink AP feature in the latest AX55 beta firmware. My present EasyMesh network has 2 RE700X range extenders and one of them is physically located between the main router (an AX55) and another wired access point (also an AX55). I would like to configure the Preferred WiFi Uplink AP option for this RE700X to select the desired router but the only available option is “auto”.
On the forum website (https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/636954), it states “Preferred WiFi Uplink AP: by default, it is set to Auto, when there are more than two mesh nodes in the same EasyMesh network and wireless backhaul is used, you could select a preferred AP for the satellite device, the preferred AP can be either the main router or another satellite device.”
As I only have 2 mesh nodes (RE700X) that use wireless backhaul, it appears I need another RE700X. Is there anyone using more than 2 extenders that can confirm that I indeed would have the option to select the desired AP if I purchase another RE700X? I have no problem in acquiring another extender but before doing so, I would like to know the answer to my question.
Thanks in advance.

This is noted, and we hope this feature comes to more EasyMesh routers and also range extenders.
