Hello TP-Link Community and Moderators,

I’m reaching out to inquire about the availability of EasyMesh Wired Backhaul support for the TP-Link Archer AX12. I found an older, locked thread discussing this feature (https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/647206), but there were no recent updates, so I’m starting this new topic to seek clarification.

I’m eager to use EasyMesh with a wired backhaul to optimize my network performance, but it appears this feature isn’t currently supported on the AX12. I’ve noticed that the Archer AX1500, another Wi-Fi 6 router in TP-Link’s lineup, already supports EasyMesh with wired backhaul, which suggests it might be feasible for the AX12 as well. Could a TP-Link admin or moderator kindly address the following:

1. Is EasyMesh Wired Backhaul planned for the Archer AX12 in a future firmware update?
2. If so, is there an estimated timeline for when this feature might be available?
3. Are there any technical limitations preventing wired backhaul support on the AX12 compared to models like the AX1500?

My router is running the latest firmware ([insert firmware version]), but I don’t see any EasyMesh Wired Backhaul options in the settings. Any insights from the TP-Link team or community members would be greatly appreciated, especially given the AX1500’s support for this feature.

Thank you for your time and assistance!

Best regards,

Thank you so much to the entire TP-Link team for this fantastic update! 🙌

A special shoutout to @Joseph-TP  — I really appreciate how you listened to my request for EasyMesh Ethernet Backhaul a few months ago and kept the conversation going. It’s genuinely refreshing to see a company that turns user feedback into reality this quickly.

I’ve just updated to firmware 1.5.0 and I’m happy to confirm that EasyMesh Ethernet Backhaul is working perfectly as intended. The connection is rock-solid, and the new AP mode EasyMesh support is an excellent bonus too.

This update truly makes a big difference. Thank you again for all the hard work and for caring about what your users actually need. You’ve earned a very satisfied customer!

Keep up the great work!
