Mesh network with 2 x Archer and Extender
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Good morning,
I'm trying to set up a permanent home network now that fiber optics has finally arrived in my area.
I already have an Archer AX73 V2 EU router (i still have to update the firmware for Easymesh compatibility) and a RE605X range extender which currently work correctly in Onemesh mode.
However, I would like to extend the coverage well over the entire house and I would also like to create a wired connection for a PC that needs as much speed as possible.
Below is a small illustrative diagram of how I would like to do it:
I'm not sure if this proposal can work properly. I'd like to have everything connected in Easymesh with the second router wired to the first (for more speed), and I'd also like to keep the range extender.
Obviously I would also like to have a single wifi network throughout the house (limited to the range of the devices)
Is it possible to have only one Easymesh network in this configuration? And if is possibile, which router do you recommend to connect to the first one?
Thank you in advance
Alan
Hi,
AX73 EU V2 has already supported EasyMesh and Ethernet Backhaul, so as long as the another router you will purchase also support EasyMesh Ethernet Backhaul, they will be able to build an EasyMesh network via ethernet connection, another AX72 EU V2 or AX55 V1 are both fine since AX55 V1 trail firmware supported it as well: Public Beta for Archer AX55 V1 Supports EasyMesh Ethernet Backhaul, DoH&DoT, ECO Mode and More
By the way, is your RE605X V3 or older version? RE605X V3 supports EasyMesh as well. Anyway, even if it is V1/V2 which supports OneMesh only, it could still work as satellite extender via WiFi connection to EasyMesh routers, so your network disgram should be working fine.
