Note: You will be unable to downgrade to the previous firmware version after updating this firmware.

Hello everyone,
We understand you have been waiting for the Onemesh firmware for Archer AX11000 for long, here comes with the beta version. You can manually update your router firmware if you would like to implement the Onemesh with some existing range extenders.
This is the download link:
https://static.tp-link.com/beta/2021/202104/20210416/ax11000v1-up-ver1-2-0-P8[20210415-rel78917]_beta_2021-04-16_10.34.39.zip (No need to install this beta version anymore)
Refer to this guide to add the existing extender to the Onemesh network:
https://www.tp-link.com/support/faq/2509/
We hope you could help provide some details about the network layout, which will help us to understand your usage better:
1. What is the model number of the range extender that you want to add to the AX11000 Onemesh network? How many extenders?
2. How large of the house, how are the AX11000 and the range extenders located, are all on the same floor, or on different floors?
3. How about the Onemesh network performance? Is it as good as expected?
Do let us know how it goes. Have a nice day.

Hi again folks. Since my initial post a few days ago I thought I'd give a brief update. I'm sorry to hear of the glitches and frustrations others are having but I must say I haven't had any problems at all. Onemesh is still functioning as I initially set it up with One RE605X upstairs and the main router downstairs using SMART. The router speeds are as attached (I am paying for 350mb from Virgin) and as you can see both the 2.4g and 5g on the RE605X are perfectly acceptable. It really is puzzling how with the same setups some of us are OK whilst others seem all over the place which must make this very frustrating and a headache for the engineers to release a stable firmware update.

@xokia Onemesh only works between Onemesh Router and Onemesh extenders, but not between two Onemesh routers. You can read about it there (Q10):

Indeed! I've no idea why mine should be OK and others not which must be very frustrating but I can only speak as I find. I must admit however, reading through this forum I'm expecting mine to start playing up any day soon 
....... I wish everyone well and that setups work as advertised and intended especially with new (none beta) firmware.

@kwoolley If you have already purchased the RE605X, you can install them one by one to work with the AX11000 to build up the Onemesh network, as you can see soram doesn't encounter any issue with the setup and Onemesh performance, and I believe most of the users are enjoying the Onmesh network now, so no worries. The Onemesh firmware had been strictly tested before release, so the basic functions and features are working properly. As for the issues Maciej & Scott79 encountered and reported, our engineers are working actively with them, it will be figured out soon if there is a bug or special issue wiht the usage or network.

Are we still on the BETA firmware?

@Kevin_Z So doesnt work with access points as onemesh units can only use repeaters? That kinda sucks seems like an arbitrary limitation. An access point has an ethernet connection and wifi. When will faster repeaters be supported?
The FAQ explains why folks are seeing slower speeds with onemesh. It doesnt support ethernet backhual either. Which means folks have no choice but to use wifi as the backhual which means bandwidth will get reduced with onemesh. Depending on traffic I could see Bandwidth being reduced by half. You might want to explain this in the FAQ. I now see onemesh as being no different then the standard wifi repeaters that are on the market except that onemesh has additional limitations. Seems wierd you folks are calling it a mesh network unless I am missing something. I'd call onemesh a psuedo mesh network. Regards.
Based on these limitations I think I'm done with onemesh time to return some routers. I'll switch to something that supports a true mesh network.
It would be interesting experiment if folks have standard repeaters. Try setting one up to use the 5ghz gaming channel check your speed. Would be intersting to see if you get similar speeds. The other thing is with the a standard repeater you can use ethernet backhual.
