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

  1. This behavior is not explained anywhere—not in manuals, spec sheets, product pages, or marketing materials.

  2. Users naturally expect that a “Wi-Fi 7 EasyMesh system” will allow MLO-capable SSIDs to work across the entire mesh.

  3. Instead, MLO is effectively restricted to the main router, making the mesh network unable to deliver full Wi-Fi 7 performance.

  4. 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.

Hello @momopoem 

 

Thank you for your inquiry regarding EasyMesh compatibility with MLO Network extensions.

 

We understand that extended MLO network capabilities are important. While EasyMesh does not currently offer support for this feature, it is a priority for our development team and is planned for a future release.

 

The implementation and integration of the advanced MLO network into EasyMesh present significant technical challenges, to be honest. We sincerely appreciate your patience while we work diligently to develop and thoroughly test this feature to ensure a seamless user experience.

  @momopoem I full agree with you. Sadly, I only found out of this horrid limitation after spending a significant sum on a TP-Link Tri-Band WiFi 7 Mesh (made up of HB710 x 2 and HB611 X 2) that does nothing to boost wireless performance as claimed for us.

 

In fact my old Asus based WiFi 6 Mesh has better performance and stability.

 

I am sure TP-Link can resolve this limitation if you put your heart and mind to it and help make good your marketing claims very soon.

 

A firmware update to all the WiFi 7 Tri-band devices is much needed.

 

Thank you!

Hi, welcome to the community.

In a Mesh Network with HB710 x 2 and HB611 X 2, the EasyMesh agents could extend the MLO network on the EasyMesh Controller.

Best regards.

  @David-TP This is definitely not the case. The MLO is only enabled on the main router and the mesh nodes only support 2.4Ghz, 5Ghz and 6Ghz without MLO.

  @Navisurf 

Thanks for the update.

If that is the case, is there any chance you can send an email to support.forum@tp-link.com so that I can check with the senior engineer for further assistance?

(Please add the forum ID 849772 in the subject, and also include the firmware versions on both HB710 and HB611.)

Wait for your reply.

Best regards.
