Mesh over ethernet cable with RE500X
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I have three RE500X configured as Access Points in the rooms. They are connected to a Huawei router over the ethernet cable. Unfortunately, it's not mesh, so when I change rooms, my devices interconnect, which causes me some trouble. I bought the router Archer Ax55 to replace my Huawei, but it turned out mesh can be realized only over Wi-Fi, which worsens my throughput. Fortunately, I's able to return the Archer.
Is there any other router I should buy to have mesh over ethernet with my RE500Xs ?
Thanks in advance

Hi@tomki99,
Here are Easymesh Range Extenders that support building a Easymesh Network via Ethernet backhaul.
The RE500X is not in the list. If you want to set an Easymesh Network, the RE500X is currently not possible.
You can select the model of the link below:https://www.tp-link.com/easymesh/product-list/#wi-fi-routers
Select 'Wired Backhaul' on the left side to see which devices support Ethernet backhaul.

Hi@tomki99,
Yes, your understanding is all correct.
Unlike OneMesh, you can also consider using two routers connected via Ethernet to form an EasyMesh network, not just a router + range extender combination.
You can click on the ‘Wired backhaul*’ button on the left side of the list that supports creating EasyMesh network via Ethernet backhaul.

EasyMesh is not OneMesh and vice verse right? I didn't notice there are two standards in tp-link :(
My RE500X are OneMesh compatible and OneMesh doesn't allow any router Backhaul - is that right?
So to achieve what I need I've to replace my RE500X with some other stuff.
On the list you provided I see the only extender supporting Ethernet Backhaul connection is RE315 (AC1200) for which Archer A6 (AC1200) will be enough. Right?
Is there any router + extenders on WiFi6 (AX....)? I've 1Gb fiber at home so it would be good to do not produce botleneck locally :)
Thanks,
