Hi, everyone,

I would some help in order to know if any of the existing TP-Link and Mercusys 5G routers support EasyMesh Ethernet Backhaul.

 

I've looking here in the official forum and it seems the TP-Link Archer NX routers (NX200, NX500, NX600, etc.) don't (or didn't at first) support EasyMesh Ethernet Backhaul. Is this still the case or has a firmware update implemented the Ethernet Backhaul feature in the TP-Link Archer NX routers?

 

Also, I have been looking at the Mercusys MB520-5G and MB510-5G routers, but I haven't found any information that clearly states if these routers support Ethernet Backhaul or not. The only thing I found was the following link, https://www.mercusys.com/en/faq-1065/, that states "This Article Applies to: MB520-5G", but I would like someone from TP-Link or Mercusys to confirm objectively wether the Mercusys MB520-5G and MB510-5G routers support Ethernet Backhaul or not.

 

Thanks for all your help in advance! Really appreciate it!

Best Regards,

Hi, thank you very much for the feedback.

Both Mercusys MB520-5G and MB510-5G support EasyMesh Ethernet Backhaul, and it needs to be set as an EasyMesh Controller

Hi, yes, Archer 5G NR routers don't support EasyMesh Ethernet Backhaul.

If you want to establish Ethernet Backhaul, it is recommended to only use Mercusys branded EasyMesh devices.

Best regards.

Thank you for your quick and helpful answer! I really appreciate it!

 

What about the TP-Link Archer NX routers (NX200, NX500, NX600, etc.)? They still don't support EasyMesh Ethernet Backhaul, right?

Also, just one more question, now related to the Mercusys MB520-5G: can I establish Ethernet Backhaul between this Mercusys router and a TP-Link EasyMesh router that also supports Ethernet Backhaul or is it recommended to establish Ethernet Backhaul only using Mercusys branded routers?

Thank you for all your help!

Best regards,

Hi! Thank you for your help!

 

When you also have clear info about the Mercusys MB510-5G, let me know!

 

I think we've covered every TP-Link and Mercusys 5G router (except the Deco lineup which supports Ethernet Backhaul), right? Or are there other models I didn't mention?

 

Best regards,

Hi, MB510-5G also supports EasyMesh Ethernet Backhaul. I updated the first reply yesterdaylaugh.

Yes, except for the Deco linkup, we basically covered all 5G Home routers for now.

Best regards.
