Just switched to EasyMesh from Deco
Hello everyone! I recently just switched from Deco M5s to 2x Archer BE805 and managed to set up EasyMesh and it's ethernet backhauled, I do have one questions is why does the Satellite Router is still broadcasting it's SSID? Are there any ways I can disable this? or I can leave it be and this won't cause any interference. Thanks in advance!

@terziyski i did exactly as the guide said, reset the device to factory but does it have to be connected literally directly to the Main's lan port or i can use the wall ethernet port which is connected to the main router?

If the wall ethernet port goes to the main router then this shouldn't be an issue.
In the guide I posted, there's a screenshot where you should be able to see the satellite router wired.
That's in the section "How to confirm whether Ethernet Backhaul is working or not?"
If you see the satellite router in the satellite devices list then everything's OK.

@terziyski yes, its showing up in satellite devices, but not sure why it is still broadcasting it's own SSID though and how do i confirm it's also broadcasting the Main SSID? When I'm near it, my phone doesn't show up in the Satellite's connected devices.

What do you mean by "still broadcasting its own SSID" and "my phone doesn't show up in the Satellite's connected devices".
You satellite router should broadcast the same SSIDs like your main router.
The wireless signal strength of the main router could be the reason for your phone to connect to it, when you're near the satellite router.
Post some screenshots for clarity on that matter.

Hi
It is advisable to verify if the Wi-Fi name of the satellite is 6G one, as the BE805 currently does not support easymesh formation via 6G. The current setup should feature synchronized 2.4G and 5G names for the two BE805 units, successfully forming easymesh, while easymesh is not established for 6G.
Please note that this situation may receive updates in the future, so it is recommended to stay informed by checking the official website for any announcements.

@Joseph-TP apologies for the late reply as i was on a business trip, this means as long as the satellite does not broadcast 2.4/5ghz, the easymesh is setup correctly. My SSID is AwFamily

According to your screenshot a device with the name AwFamily2 is connected to your main router in Easymesh via its ethernet port - so your configuration seems correct.
