Implemented AX55 V2.0 Easymesh implementation
Implemented AX55 V2.0 Easymesh implementation
Dear Community,
Recently, I upgraded my main router from an AX23 to an AX55(US) V2.0 and decided to set up the AX23(EU) V1.2 as a OneMesh satellite wireless repeater.
I spent many hours trying to configure my AX23 as a OneMesh satellite repeater. It was a difficult task because there was no “add device” button in the AX55 OneMesh interface. It is strange that the AX23 has this option available, but my AX55, which I consider a “better” router, does not. Both routers have the latest firmware versions installed, and Smart Connect is enabled.
After watching some videos, I found an alternate method to set it up:
- Set up the AX23 in the OneMesh tab as a wireless satellite repeater.
- Press the WPS button on the AX55 (router) for just 1 second (pressing it longer turns WiFi off).
- Press the WPS button on the AX23 (repeater) for just 1 second (pressing it longer turns WiFi off).
- The link/pairing process should start, and the AX23 will show in theAX55 as a OneMesh device.
This workaround is not very user-friendly…
It is stange that Easymesh is only supported in V1 and V4 but not in V2 and V3 AX55 versions.
Will really appreciate if Easymesh is implemented in V2 AX55 router.
Cheers! Mat

@Mat_arg Those are great news! Thank you, TP-Link community! I was wondering if ECO Mode will be supported in this release, as V1 versions are capable of this feature. I noticed that ECO Mode was not mentioned in the list from the provided link. Regards!
