Model: Archer C6   RE330  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.3.7 Build 20220613 rel.64828(4555)

Hello,

 

I have just received my RE330 and upgraded to latest firmware. My problem is adding it to my OneMesh hosted by the Archer C6 v2.

 

The C6 already has already hosted a OneMesh with an RE200 for years without issues. The RE330 is another addition besides the RE200.

 

What I tried: 

- In Archer C6 I get the RE330 listed under "available OneMesh devices". I click add -> failed

- Via tether app: RE330 in EasyMesh menu I can initiate joining a mesh. Then I am told to press WPS buttons on RE330 and Archer C6, which I do. Result: still not joined the OneMesh

- Setting up the RE330 wireless network manually: I can see the Archer C6 wireless LAN 2.4 and 5 GHz, two entries each, and one of these is tagged as "OneMesh". Still, joining these network does not lead to the RE330 listed under OneMesh devices in the Archer C6, and - vice versa - not showing that the RE330 has joined an EasyMesh network

 

My assumption: these devices are simply not compatible. Am I right?

Hi,

 

The RE330 should still be compatible with OneMesh, despite now also supporting EasyMesh.

 

Did you perform a factory reset on the RE330 after the firmware upgrade? Sometimes this can be necessary.

 

Is the "latest firmware" you upgraded to still a version 1.0.x or are you already on a 1.1.x firmware?

 

In case you are still on a 1.0.x firmware, then you could downgrade to a non-EasyMesh (i.e. OneMesh-only) firmware and see if that makes it work.

Hi and Thanks for your reply.

 

I just tried the factory reset without success. RE330 is in the list of available OneMesh devices but adding it fails.

 

RE330 is on Firmware 1.1.0 build 250829 Rel. 52371n.

 

Update: at least something has changed: in the archer OneMesh menu, the RE330 has completely disappeared. But in RE330 in EasyMesh, it says it is part of an EasyMesh network. Without any details. Not sure what to make of this.
 

Best regards,  Chr
