2 tplink archer c7 v5 - One Mesh Network

Model: Archer C7

Hardware Version: V5

Firmware Version:

I have two TP-Links archer c7. A version 4 and a version 5. Version 4 is not compatible with the one mesh network. So I'm thinking of buying another Archer C7 v5 to build a OneMesh network.

If i put one router in Router Mode and other in Acess Point mode, the mesh network will works?



Another question, can I connect these 2 routers via cable to work through One Mesh?


And finally, is there any official position on version 4, whether it will have an update or not?

@Caleffi

Hi, thanks for asking.

Firstly, the Archer C7 V5 supports OneMesh™ only on router mode, which means you cannot set up one as a router and the other as an access point, they won't connect via OneMesh™. The OneMesh™ router can only be combined with OneMesh™ RE or OneMesh™ PLC to build Mesh networks.

Secondly, we cannot connect two routers that support OneMesh™ together via Ethernet cable to build up the OneMesh™ network.

Lastly, there is currently no plan to add the support for OneMesh™ on Archer C7 V4.

Nice day~
