Moderator Note:
1. The availability of EasyMesh Wired/Ethernet Backhaul may vary by region even for the same model. Please check your local website for more information.
2. The above list might not include all models and hardware versions. It is recommended to keep watching the firmware releases for your router, as the EasyMesh Ethernet Backhaul will be listed in the patch notes if/when it is added to your version.
Some of our EasyMesh Wi-Fi routers have added support for establishing a seamless mesh network via EasyMesh Ethernet Backhaul. You can now connect two or more EasyMesh devices together by wiring the satellite device to the main EasyMesh router. Please check for the updates on your router web GUI or Tether App for the new firmware, update and install the latest official firmware on the router to explore all the new features like EasyMesh Ethernet Backhaul.
Or you can download the latest official version from the local website and upgrade the firmware manually as follows:

Hi Kevin,
I've been using the AX53 v1 in Beta since the beginning and there have been no more updates for it... Is there any forecast?
Mercusys routers can access the second router in Mesh without any problems, while TP-Link routers can't. Is there any possibility of this update?

@Kevin_Z Mesh Ethernet backhaul on Tp-link Archer AX53 V1 routers
The following scenario shows us my network topology and the issue I am facing once using Ethernet backhaul on my Mesh network at home.
Topology
My topology is Main Router -TP-link AX72 Pro V1- and 3 Satellite Routers -TP-link AX53 V1- which are connected to the Main Router via Ethernet cable.
Firmware
The main router was updated to the last version and the satellites to firmware 1.2.4 Build 20240206 (Public Beta Firmware for Trial) which it is supposed to support Ethernet backhaul.
Mesh Configuration
TP-link AX53 V1 routers have been added to the main router as satellites via wireless successfully, it means Wireless Backhaul works in the Wifi Mesh.
Then Ethernet cables have been connected between a LAN port at the main router and the WAN por at the satellites successfully. A few minutes after, Ethernet Backhaul started to work successfully.
Issue
Once a power outage happens, the network stability is lost after power is reestablished.
Request
When will the Tp-link archer AX53 V1 router firmware be updated to an official one which supports Ethernet backhaul and to replace the public beta firmware 1.2.4 build 20240206?
It is a pending task that Tp-link must develop as soon as possible to resolve the request of many people who have bought this modern router.

@PedroBG
Hello everybody,
I fully subscribe to PedroBG request
my network configuration is much simpler (AX53 V1 as main, and 1 as satellite), but the ethernet backhaul is fickle, and rarely reconnects on its own once the network is disconnected for any reason.
ts like the satellite falls out of satellite mode, because to reconnect I have to go through the full process of resetting it to default and then setting up as satellite again.
Really hope to see official release of the new firmware soon

Hi Kevin.
Really dissapointed with this. In the end I returned the VX230v but I still have lost money on the posdtage costs due this this.
I brought another AX1800 that works as expected but as I said, it has to be hidden away, reducing its wifi effectiveness becuase it looks like its been desinged by a five year old with Lego.
Not every router needs to look like something out of a Predator movie, yess the Deco is white but it does not do easy mesh so does not fitin with the current hardware I have.

@PedroBG Topology is pretty clear. Thank you.
Are all 3*AX53 connected to the AX72 Pro directly without any switches in between?
After a power outage, what is the status of the satellite nodes on the AX72 Pro's web UI? Are they shown as offline?
How to restore the connectivity? Do you simply power off the satellite AX53 and turn it back on? Or do you need to reset it to factory defaults and start over as described by Boruta?
I'll check with the development team once again to confirm when the official version will be available.

1. If there had been switches, I would have described it on my topology. NO switches in between of Ethernet backhauls.
2. After a power outage, no device can be reached on the network. For example, no devices are shown on the Tether application. There is no connectivity on the network. All the routers seem to be down.
3. To restore the connectivity, it is needed to switch off all the routers then switch on only the main router. Once it is online, switch on the satellites to restore Mesh network connectivity.
4. It's been a long time Tp-link hasn't published an official firmware for Archer AX53 V1 routers which supports Ethernet backhaul. It's time to do it.

Is there any information on when we can expect EasyMesh to support full IOT and guest networks?
It seems again something that has been missed out, all of my routers support both IOT and Guest networks on their own so why not support these networks as part of the Mesh System?

@PedroBG @Boruta @AngeloWinicius
The development team has confirmed that AX53v1 will soon receive official firmware. Please keep an eye on our official websites for updates.
I will update this thread or create a new one to notify you once the official firmware is available.

While we can't provide an estimated time of arrival for this feature, it has been forwarded to the relevant team for evaluation. We plan to optimize the EasyMesh implementation in future updates.
