Model: RE500X  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.2.0 Build 20250815 Rel. 43943

Hi,

 

EasyMesh already set up via Archer AX55 v1.0 with 1.4.1 Build 20250821 rel.70686(4555) firmware and 3x RE330 v1.0 with 1.1.0 Build 250829 Rel.52371n (6985) firmware which works just fine for months.

Added one RE500X v2.0 with 1.2.0 Build 20250815 Rel. 43943 firmware to the EasyMesh,

RE500X appears in EasyMesh device list on the AX55 router for some time then is presented offline, rebooting the RE500X solves it for a short time, but then is presented offline in EasyMesh list again.

While presented offline i still can ping the device, but MeshList also changes the device tree of the satellites formerly connected to the RE500X taking a weaker link to another satellite, also RE500X shows "all 4 green lights" for 2,4G and 5G etc. while presented offline.

 

Saw the thread https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/845714 describing same issue for RE700X/RE705X/RE715X hoping for a fix for R500X.

 

Regards,

Holzmichel

Hello @Holzmichel ,

 

May I know if your network topology diagram is as follows:

ISP modem—AX55 )))((( 4 Satellite nodes )))((( clients

(Note: — stands for wired connection, )))((( stands for wireless connection )

 

Could you test whether the status still shows as offline when only the RE500X is running as a satellite node?
