TP-Link seriously needs to fix this.

 

Backstory.  I had a wireless router (older) from another brand.  But adding smart devices in our home overloaded it.  So I purchased an Archer wireless router (AX1800).  Having a USB port for shared storage was required and the TP-Link provided that.  The product works for me, no issues, full home coverage.  We added a shop on our propery and the router just didnt reach out there, its in a central location to our home.  So I decided to get a TP Link extender (RE200) and it "sort of" works.  The connection is very unreliable and slow.  To fix this, I ordered a couple hundred feet of direct burial cat 6 and ran cabling between a switch I have in the garage and the shop and plugged the RE200 in.  Well, doing so broke the entire network.  After googling I found out that you cannot run the RE200, or any OneMesh product, with ethernet backhaul.  WHY NOT?  Never in a million years would I have imagined that would not be a feature.  

 

I know TP-Link offers the Deco line, and admittedly Deco would do exactly what I am trying to do.  But my home router works perfectly fine! Im not going to throw it out to go all Deco.  That would be a huge waste!  Im also not even sure I can do that because the Deco devices dont have USB ports to attach storage??? The simplest and most reliable option for me would be a simple firmware update to enable ethernet backhaul.  

 

As much as my AX1800 has served me well, at this point I will never again by a TP-Link product unless this is addressed.

Nowhere in the marketing material or box does it say OneMesh only works via wifi. Bought the following thinking they could form a OneMesh network via Ethernet... all will now be returned as are not 'as advertised' !

 

1x TP-Link AC1200 Dual-Band Gigabit Wi-Fi Router

2x TP-Link AC1200 Mesh Extenders

 

Sorry TP-Link... you had me as a customer, but have now lost one.

hi  @Solla-topee,
I just want to let you know that I am the owner of two RE505X extenders, and I really would like it to support ethernet backhaul! Is there any feedback from the development team?

Best regards,
Balazs

This would make a lot of people feel TP-Link is not an evil, greedy company, instead they are helpful, and consumer-friendly.

It is useful for me when devices are separated by heavy walls so WiFi connection is poor in the straight line but there are Ethernet cables between

this would be great to see on the RE815X and is actually the entire reason i purchased the RE815X extender to work with my AX90 router. 

 

Also, we need 5G-2 Onemesh backhaul support ASAP.

 

Come on TP-LINK, you charge enough for your products to put some development into these no-brainer features to create a unified experience. 

Router: AX90

Extenders: RE505X and RE815X
