AX53 Easymesh Wired Backhaul Issue with Switch Connection Between Two Routers
I have two AX53 devices, and I encountered an issue with the wired backhaul while setting up Easymesh.
Model: Archer AX53 hardware V1
Firmware: Archer AX53(EU)_V1_1.4.4 Build 20250603
Due to the length and layout of the network cables in the building,
I used a Switch (D-Link DGS-1005A) to connect the two AX53 devices.
The Easymesh setup was successful, but the wired backhaul wouldn't work,
and it automatically established a wireless backhaul instead.
When I removed the Switch (D-Link DGS-1005A) and connected the two AX53 devices directly,
a wired backhaul was automatically established.
However, without the Switch, some computers and other devices in the area could not connect to the network.
In the Easymesh setup, is it not possible to have a Switch between the two Easymesh devices?
What is the reason for this?
If the issue is compatibility with the (D-Link DGS-1005A),
are there any compatible TP-Link Switch models to consider?
