Model: Archer BE550  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.0.5 Build 20250520 rel.74080(5553)

I have 2 BE550 V2. The first is in router mode and is working correctly. 

 

The second one I am trying to make it work via Easymesh Backhaul, where I have a cable from the router to this one. 

 

The problem is that, although it says, in the web and app, that it is working, no clients connect to the second one. If I remove the second one, my, devices see no change, suggesting that it was never really working. 

 

The second one to install I connected the power, went to the app of the BE550 router I already had and added a device via the configure > easymesh > add new device. After it was added, I connected the Ethernet cable in the second one. 

It shows it is connected via cable. 

 

I already have the latest firmware version.

Both BE550 v1&v2 support building an ethernet backhaul  - details.

Here's the guide on how to do that. Depending on your premises size, probably only one BE550 can cover it.

Hi  @HelloStarWarsFr ,

Thanks for contacting our community.

 

When clients automatically connect to the main router, does it work properly? If so, as Terziyski suggests, a single BE550 can meet the network needs of all clients.
If not, try moving the clients closer to the satellite router and try connecting.
