Firmware Updates---Onemesh firmware for Archer AX6000
Updated on 2121-02-25:
Hello all,
The Onemesh firmware for the Archer AX6000 has been officially released, those who haven't updated the AX6000 firmware for Onemesh can check for the updates on your Tether app or on the router web interface, or you can download and install it manually from the TP-Link official website here:
https://www.tp-link.com/support/download/archer-ax6000/#Firmware
We've got the new firmware for the Archer AX6000, which adds the support for Onemesh. This version has not been officially released yet, you can manually update your router firmware if you would like to implement the Onemesh with some existing range extenders.
Here is the download link:
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 AX6000 Onemesh network? How many extenders?
2. How large of the house, how are the AX6000 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 if you have any other inquiries. Have a nice day.

May I know the reason why you want to downgrade? This new 1.2.1 cannot be rolled back, while we will try to work it out if you are experiencing an issue.
I have 1.2.0 installed, running in Access Point mode. I know that no One Mesh features are available in Access Point mode, and I don't have any additional One Mesh products or other extenders.
I experienced problems with Smart Connect and wanted to revert back to see if they go away.
The problems that i had were
- A Lenovo Smart Display (Goolge Home device) intermittently displays "Connecting" for long periods of time
- An iPad 2018 drops WiFi intermittently
I am currently running with Smart Connect off, and not seeing the problems again (yet).

Hi Kevin,
I have a lot of questions.
I have been updated my AX6000(US) to a new firmware: 1.2.0
Troubles:
1. 2.4G reconnects every 30 sec. on mobile devices and Ipad.
2. 5G - Not working at all, can't connect from Notebook, SmartPhone and Ipad (Smartshare turnedoff).(UPDATE: connected for 4-5h, 5G network got "offline" - can't connect,after reboot I connected..)
3. Smartphone see the 5G network, the laptop does not see this network, I enter manually
I reset the settings, the situation has not changed.
are there any solution methods?
4.Can't understand why?

Every 30-60 sec. got timeout.
Checked on online game,
got ping ~50-60-180-50-60-180. (I can't play normally)
UPDATE:
Changed the 5G network name, not worked with Networkname_5G, now works!

Thank's for the update. Now have mine working flawlessly with a RE505X.
Had to factory reset the RE to get it to connect correctly, otherwise it wouldn't pickup internet for those devices that connect to it. Setup SmartConnect and 5g devices are picking up 5g band fine.
So far no complaints, the only issue I have is the TV now has issues connecting via ethernet? Seems to take a while for the connection to work when turning the TV on, picks itself up after about 30 seconds.
Apart from that it is fine. Have over 40 devices connected (Mostly smart home devices, a couple of phones and PC's).
Not sure if I've been one of the lucky ones, but have never had an issue with the AX6000. Been flawless since getting it, and even better now OneMesh works!

Thank you very much for your detailed info. We currently cannot provide you another beta firmware, while we have reported the issue to the support engineers, they will likely reach out to you via email to continue to troubleshoot your issue. Please check your email box and confirm.

So the 5G issue is resolved after you renamed the 5G network? That's good to know.
As for the 2.4G disconnect issue, can you please if the Smart Connect is on or off on the AX6000? Is there a range extender in the network? If the Smart Connect is off, please try to run a Wi-Fi analyzer, review which 2.4G channel is clear, choose that one on the AX6000; Change the channel width to 20MHz, then confirm.

Thanks again!

I'd like to try your configuration: could you tell me more about the settings?
- is SmartConnect on or off? - if it is on, do you get all 5G devices to connect to 5G band?
- what't the channel width for both 5G and 2.4G?
Can you check if you get any packet losses if you run a longer time test, e.g. using the Startrinity Continuous Speed Test tool (desktop client)?
Thanks in advance!

Ok, with 2.4 SOLVED. Now big problem with ping.
there is no extenders.
5G works on ch.49-40mhz.
and another one, my Alienware can't see the 5G network on the 2m range if I set from 149 ch.

Now big problem with ping.
What's this? Can we have more details? How did you test the ping? Any screenshot?
my Alienware can't see the 5G network on the 2m range if I set from 149 ch.
I assume this Alienware may not support band 4 channels, you may confirm this by changing the 5G channel on the AX6000 to 36 or 44, check if you can see the network.

I have all the WiFi settings/bands set to auto.
I can see 5G is transmitting on 36
and 2.4G is transmitting on 8
No issues with packet loss that I can see. Have ran CST for a solid hour.
Most of my devices are 2.4G (Smart home devices, lights, controllers etc.)
Phones, laptops and desktop all connect to 5G when I check, I have smart connect on.
