Thanks for the reply.

looking at the TP-LInk EasyMesh Devices the AX11000 isn't a planned device on this list.

  @Riley_S you marked this as accepted for AX11000 to get easymesh with Ethernet backhual, however the AX6000, and AXE16000 is listed but don't see the AX11000 listed. 

   @Riley_S     Can you please update this information especially now that Wi-Fi 7 routers are released and it seems even more confusing with people that have bought previous Wi-Fi 6 Wi-Fi 6E routers.

I really don't think I will be buying future TP thing products if you don't support easy mesh with internet backhaul on for example the AX 11000. Actually specifically including that router. But others as well.

That would be insane.   However perhaps I will be pleasantly surprised and you will tell me that you are indeed supporting it. Please let me know as soon as possible. It will affect my future buying decisions in the next month for multiple routers at multiple places.

  @Riley_S 

Thank you Thank for this information and a couple weeks ago I saw the ax11000 listed there with several other models that were planned. It doesn't seem to be listed there now. What changed?


Can you tell me if that's just because it is now fully compatible with easymesh ( and a firmware was released for it) or that it has been eliminated from the possibility of ever having easymesh with energetic back field backhaul  compatible with the future products as well as mesh routers.


Thanks for your help

I've been trusting TP link to do the right thing for this and make the ax11000 compatible...

.. but if it does not, I then keep your link is forcing obsolescence on its customers even though it could easily help the customers, it's a waste of money. I bought the wrong product. 

If definitely would be the time to sell my ax11000 routers, change purchasing decisions to a different brand among my extended family and choose a more thinking company that supported its customers much better.

It's tragic how companies these days View products that cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars as disposable for consumers and refuse to to upgrade products , which really do values customers and their concerns especially regarding technology prices, and hurts the environment greatly by creating a lot of electronic waste. Not to mention other companies do support their products on an ongoing basis and even without source code so that once a company fails to support its product, open source can support it.

I realize that you think that this may hurt your long time sales, but in essence it will increase them as if you distance customers through your policies, they're not coming back ever.

When TP-Link initially posted the list of compatible routers and made promises about Easy Mesh support, I'll admit, I felt a strong sense of trust in the brand. The inclusion of the AX11000, a router I had my eye on and had already purchased some time ago, was like a green light for me. But what happened next was nothing short of a shocker. TP-Link decided to pull the rug out from under us, and that has left me feeling not just disappointed, but downright betrayed and incredibly distrustful.

I mean, come on, the abrupt decision to yank support for the AX11000, and some other routers that had been on the "compatible" list for a good while, it's like they played with our emotions. It's infuriating, really. You make a promise, and then you break it after folks have invested their hard-earned cash. Who wants to stick with a company that treats its loyal customers this way?

I had grand plans to get TP-Link routers, not just for my place but for several different houses in my network. I was all set to start with my own place, and then expand. But after this debacle, I'm seriously second-guessing that plan. It's mind-boggling that a company can flip-flop on something they claimed should be a standard feature in all their routers.

And what makes it worse is that the AX11000 is still up for sale, and they did say it would support Easy Mesh. Now they're going back on their word? It's like they're playing a game of bait and switch with their customers.

This whole situation has left me with a deep sense of distrust, and it reminds me of why I switched from Samsung to LG TVs. LG consistently delivered on its promises, while Samsung seemed content to make its products obsolete by ignoring updates and stripping away features. Witnessing TP-Link follow a similar path is profoundly disappointing.

In conclusion, I want to stress the overwhelming feelings of betrayal and distrust that TP-Link's recent decision has triggered. I'm now seriously considering returning the AX11000, even though I purchased it some time ago, because what was promised was never delivered in terms of keeping support updated. I sincerely hope that TP-Link recognizes the gravity of this situation and takes immediate steps to rebuild the shattered trust among its loyal customer base.

I honestly haven't been so disappointed in such a company in a long time.
