Hi, we are always trying to get more advanced information about AX53 V1, even though we are unable to give ETA at this moment, I believe it will support Ethernet Backhaul soon, because relevant departments are going to start applying for internal testing of its new firmware.
I will keep you informed once there is any update. And thanks a lot for the patience!

Hi,
My biggest problem is not that AX53 V1 can not support Ethernet Backhaul. Creating firmware for different soc-s is not easy, and V2 supported Ethernet Backbaul will be good enough if I can buy V2. :D I talked with several shops and IT distributors but could not get information about V2; they said V1 and V2 have the same item numbers, so I cannot order V2 specifically...
Do you know some information about V2?

@katonatomi The biggest problem is that we can't distinguish between the V1 and V2 versions of the same TP-Link router model before purchasing online as both carry the same Model No. This is particularly concerning because TP-Link sometimes introduces new features within the same model number, but their website doesn't provide clear information about which revisions have which features.

Hi, we don't have sales information, but as far as we know, AX53 V2 EU version started shipping since last month, usually it might take longer time to be available in the retailers.

I currently have a TP-Link AX 53 V 1. Today I will buy a second TP-Link AX 55 Pro, he will be the main one. Will I be able to connect them using MESH?

It would be nice if Routeur AXE75 supports EasyMesh, I'm about to build a mesh network and I bought this routeur. It would be a shame having to sell it because the Ethernet backhaul is not supported.
Thank you for the good work !

Is there a new firmware being readied for the AX55 Pro v1? It's coming up to 6 months since the last update.

Hi, Archer AX53 V1 and AX55 Pro support EasyMesh but don't support Ethernet Backhaul, thus they could build a mesh network via wireless backhaul only.
