Hi,

Am considering upgrading to a OneMesh-compatible AX21. I have an underground Ethernet connection between where the AX21 would go, to a detached garage where the WiFi signal from my current TP Link router (not OneMesh-compatible) is weak. Of course, I could buy any TP Link extender / access point and fix that using the Ethernet connection easily - but would normally have a new WiFi SSID etc.

If I were to use an AX21, with a OneMesh compatible extender (say RE 605X) wired in access point model, would OneMesh be available / create a seamless unified WiFi network, but use the Ethernet as backhaul? Obviously performance would be better this way than WiFi repeater. Or am I stuck with a separate WiFi SSID etc. if I use a wired connection (in which case, no point in upgrading to a OneMesh-compatible router first)?
