TP-Link must enable MLO-capable SSIDs on EasyMesh satellites
Hello TP-Link Engineering Team,
I am writing not only as an individual customer but on behalf of many Wi-Fi 7 users who are facing the same issue.
Currently, TP-Link Wi-Fi 7 routers are able to broadcast MLO-capable SSIDs only on the main router, while EasyMesh satellite nodes do NOT broadcast MLO-enabled SSIDs.
This limitation is serious, unexpected, and completely undocumented.
■ Why this is a major problem
-
This behavior is not explained anywhere—not in manuals, spec sheets, product pages, or marketing materials.
-
Users naturally expect that a “Wi-Fi 7 EasyMesh system” will allow MLO-capable SSIDs to work across the entire mesh.
-
Instead, MLO is effectively restricted to the main router, making the mesh network unable to deliver full Wi-Fi 7 performance.
-
Many customers bought TP-Link Wi-Fi 7 devices specifically for MLO + Mesh usage. Right now, that expectation cannot be met.
This has already resulted in confusion, wasted money, and frustration among users.
■ The community perspective
From multiple discussions, it is very clear that the majority of Wi-Fi 7 users expect:
-
MLO-enabled SSIDs to propagate to all EasyMesh satellite nodes
-
MLO client connections to work everywhere, not only near the main router
-
A true Wi-Fi 7 mesh experience, without hidden limitations
Currently, TP-Link’s implementation significantly limits the practical use of MLO and contradicts user expectations.
■ Our request (non-negotiable for Wi-Fi 7 mesh users)
We strongly request that TP-Link:
🔥 Enable MLO-capable SSID broadcasting on EasyMesh satellite nodes
as soon as possible, or at minimum:
-
Provide an official explanation why it is not supported
-
Publish a clear roadmap for implementing this feature
-
Update product documentation to inform customers about this limitation
Right now, users only find out the truth by asking in this forum. This situation is unacceptable for a feature that is a key selling point of Wi-Fi 7 routers.
■ Additional notes
-
This is not a niche or optional feature — it is essential for modern Wi-Fi 7 mesh deployments.
-
Competing vendors are moving fast to integrate MLO across mesh systems.
-
Without this feature, TP-Link Wi-Fi 7 mesh products cannot deliver the performance that customers reasonably expect.
We respectfully, but firmly, ask TP-Link to treat this issue with high priority.
Please provide a clear official response and roadmap.
Your customers deserve transparency and action.
Thank you.
