Easymesh with Archer C80
Hello,
I'm planing to upgrade the WiFi in a large house with thick walls.
Currently I'm using a TP-Link Archer C6 v2 router plus several legacy access points all connected via Ethernet to a central gbit switch. The problem with the current setup is that WiFi performance throughout the house is not that great. This makes me think about upgrading the hardware.
I'm assuming that the C6 v2 is not upgradeable to mesh with Ethernet backhaul and thus I'm thinking about getting four (or maybe even five) Archer c80 routers and connecting them via Ethernet again. However as far as I can tell the C80 does not offer VPN server functionality which I would prefer to have for use at a later point if I already have to buy new hardware.
Is wired-Ethernet backhaul available with Archer C80 routers with the current firmware? Are there any routers with both VPNserver and Easymesh functionality available right now?
The TP-Link website has lots of information, but I'm feeling lost regarding 'mesh' systems and I'm not sure which products are right for my application.
Thank you!
