Range Extenders Support OneMesh/EasyMesh in AP Mode
Hey everyone!
We got some feedback from our community users requesting for Range Extender to support OneMesh/EasyMesh when works as an Access Point.
Currently, OneMesh/EasyMesh is not supported when the extender is set to Access Point Mode. However it is planned to support EasyMesh over Ethernet Backhaul under Range Extender mode.
It will start with RE315_V1 and gradually be added to other EasyMesh-supported extenders.
RE315 Supports EasyMesh Over Ethernet Backhaul
Note:
1. An extender needs to support EasyMesh (over Wi-Fi) first, then supports EasyMesh over Ethernet Backhaul.
2. Ethernet Backhaul only works when both your main router and satellite extender support EasyMesh over Ethernet Backhaul.
Other Mesh Options:
Option 1: Deco mesh system supports Ethernet backhaul under both Wireless Router and Access Point modes.

Kindly note that the Deco system is different from TP-Link OneMesh >>> TP-Link OneMeshâ„¢ VS Deco Mesh: What's the Difference?
Option 2: OneMesh---Compatible Powerline devices if your house is under the same power circuit/under the same power meter
Some powerline products could build OneMesh through Ethernet & house Power line

Router: Archer AX90(AX6600)
Repeaters: RE315, RE305, RE205
Country: Romania
My scenario is that i want to have OneMesh after I'll connect(via ethernet) either the RE305 to AX90 or RE305 to RE205.

@RyanDias I see where TP-Link has announced the Deco X50 Outdoor.
It looks like it does everything except that is not compatible with OneMesh.
The X50 outdoor checks most of the boxes:
Outdoor rated ✅
POE (power over ethernet)✅
Backhaul wired or wireless✅
AX wifi 6 (6e would be better but ok for now)✅
5400 mbs(6600 would be better but 5400 is good for most everyone's needs)✅
But this still leaves us OneMesh equipment users behind.
Looks like maybe upgrading the Deco line again but not OneMesh.

The Deco's have always had the Ethernet backhaul - with a twist - you HAVE to use a TP-Link switch to connect the Decos and the Decos are on a different Subnet than your router - meaning you cannot do NAT or Port Forwarding to devices connected on your WiFI network...

Please DO share information about "aftermarket" firmware? I think it should be obvious that TPLink is not going to care about this, I already have 4 RE505's purchased that are just lying here - if they brick due to firmware, it's still worth trying since I cannot use them currently at all.
