Accepted [Wi-Fi Routers] AP Mode supports Onemesh
Updated on Sep 2, 2024:
We're thrilled to announce the rollout of new official firmware rolling out for multiple routers, including the BE, AX, and AC series, which introduces EasyMesh in AP Mode as a Controller. Check the following thread for a list of the models that support this feature:
EasyMesh Is Available When Wi-Fi Routers Work in AP Mode as A Controller
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are some cases that customers have their main modem router acting as the gateway and DHCP server in the network, and thus they need to change the TP-Link router to work as an Access Point to avoid the double-NAT issue. However, some of them still request the Onemesh routers (TP-Link OneMesh Devices) to support building up an Onemesh system with the Onemesh extenders when working in Access Point mode.
Before requesting that, we hope you could have a brief understanding about the difference between Router mode and Access Mode by referring to the article below, some advanced features would not be supported in Access Point mode, which is also the case for Onemesh:
If you do purchase an Onemesh router and extender already, you will need to configure it in Router mode to build up the Onemesh system. For better performance, it is suggested to check with your modem router support that if you can turn it into bridge mode or pure modem, then configure the TP-Link router as the main router.
However, we still open our ears for the market and customers here that how many of you request the Onemesh router supporting Onemesh in AP mode, and all of your opinions will be passed to the relevant team to be considered.
Press the like button and/or leave your comments and opinions if you also request the same. You can also exchange or share your opinions on this feature here. Thanks!

I have AX55 and was about to buy RE705X Extender that supports OneMesh and AP(because I don't have a decent wifi signal on my 2nd floor). Thank god I have visited this forum post and didn't burn my money. Just by visiting TPLink website, there is no single word that AP doesn't support OneMesh technology. Please TP Link make it work! Since a lot of us moved to work from home, extending our stable and efficient network connectivity through the whole house is a must. Please TP link make Extenders connect wired as an Access point to your OneMesh system!

@Kevin_Z Also I have setup my AX73 as a normal router but disabled all router functionalities (DHCP/QOS etc). I would like to believe I can still use OneMesh in this way? Does OneMesh rely on the router having internet connection from the WAN port?
