What is EasyMesh with Ethernet Backhaul and Why we need it?
EasyMesh with Ethernet Backhaul refers to the Main router and the satellite device are connected via an Ethernet cable to establish an EasyMesh network. Ethernet Backhaul offers a more reliable and faster option compared to EasyMesh with Wi-Fi, ensuring a robust and efficient EasyMesh network setup.
How to create EasyMesh with Ethernet Backahul?
Pre-configuration Notice:
1.Ethernet Backhaul is supported only when both your main router and satellite extender support EasyMesh with Ethernet Backhaul.
>>Router Support List of EasyMesh with Ethernet Backhaul
2.The extender needs to be under wireles range extender mode, not Access Point.
3.Once the Ethernet backhaul is successfully established, the wireless backhaul will be automatically disconnected. Conversely, if the Ethernet backhaul connection gets interrupted, the devices will automatically reestablish the mesh network using the wireless backhaul.
Scenario 1: Change wireless backhaul to Ethernet backhaul
Scenario 2: Add a new satellite Range Extender to EasyMesh
EasyMesh with Ethernet Backhaul stars with RE315_V1, which features an Ethernet Port with a speed of up to 100 m/s. This functionality will gradually be extended to other EasyMesh-supported extenders. We encourage you to share your feedback below regarding your current models of EasyMesh extenders and routers. This feedback will help us prioritize the implementation of EasyMesh on different product models.

Could you please consider adding ethernet backhaul to RE700X wifi 6 range extender? I am using RE700X units (3) with my main router which is a TP Link BE900.
Thanks!

@David-TP Hi. I have a new C80 V2.2 router with the latest firmware. What should I buy as an ethernet connected WiFi extender please? Another C80 or a WiFi extender like the RE315 ? What other extenders are compatible eg RE330 ?
Thanks. Alan in France.

It would be a good idea if there's a thread listing the ethernet backhaul capable REs (when there's more than one) like for the wireless routers.

@terziyski Yes, I do agree with you. However, RE315 is the only model that supports EasyMesh over Ethernet Backhaul.
RE800BE might be the next, but so far this model hasn't been officially released.
Thank you very much and best regards.
