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.

Option 2: OneMesh---Compatible Powerline devices if your house is under the same power circuit/under the same power meter

Hello @Solla-topee , I've recently bought RE700X V2 to build wired mesh system with my AX 53 V2 in my home.
After many unseccesful attempt, I saw that this product does not support ethernet backhaul in this community thread even though there is no clear statement in the product page that this product doesn't support ethernet backhaul.
From the eye of customer, I've dealed with the problem 2-3 hours and at the end I saw that my product doesn't support this feature. I've felt disappointment.
Could you please prioritize to put ethernet backhaul feature to your extenders?
Thank you.

700v2 and AX53 are supported.
Are you connecting the router and extender DIRECTLY via cable? - It will not work if you have a switch between them - needs to be a direct cable.

Hello
Yes I tried it with direct connection between router and extender.
When I plugged eternet cable, my all network become unstable such as clients dropping connection and not getting any ip adress from router.
I think it causes ip address conflict.

When you connect to the extender via the TPLINK app - can you set/enable Easy Mesh and set the device as a slave/satellite unit first?
When I setup Easy Mesh network, I start with the master unit - factory reset, login to the router, enable Easy Mesh and set unit as Master. Then, for each satellite unit, do the same - factory reset, login, enable EasyMesh - set as satellit device, restart, and then connect the cables.

Is there a time line for supporting Ethernet backhaul for OneMesh devices?
I have MR600 placed in the 1st floor for good reception of LTE and it also provides WiFi for the 1st floor.
I have an ethernet cable running to ground floor and having another wifi router.
It is very difficult to roam across floors without breaking the signal.
