What is EasyMesh with Ethernet Backhaul and Why we need it? 

 EasyMesh with Ethernet Backhaul refers to the Main router and the satellite device are connected via an Ethernet cable to establish an EasyMesh network. Ethernet Backhaul offers a more reliable and faster option compared to EasyMesh with Wi-Fi, ensuring a robust and efficient EasyMesh network setup.

 

 

 

How to create EasyMesh with Ethernet Backahul?

 

Pre-configuration Notice:

1.Ethernet Backhaul is supported only when both your main router and satellite extender support EasyMesh with Ethernet Backhaul.

>>Router Support List of EasyMesh with Ethernet Backhaul

2.The extender needs to be under wireles range extender mode, not Access Point.
3.Once the Ethernet backhaul is successfully established, the wireless backhaul will be automatically disconnected. Conversely, if the Ethernet backhaul connection gets interrupted, the devices will automatically reestablish the mesh network using the wireless backhaul.

 

Scenario 1: Change wireless backhaul to Ethernet backhaul

Scenario 2: Add a new satellite Range Extender to EasyMesh

 

 

EasyMesh with Ethernet Backhaul stars with RE315_V1, which features an Ethernet Port with a speed of up to 100 m/s. This functionality will gradually be extended to other EasyMesh-supported extenders. We encourage you to share your feedback below regarding your current models of EasyMesh extenders and routers. This feedback will help us prioritize the implementation of EasyMesh on different product models.

@skeen1970 

Hi, Thank you for the message.

This firmware is for RE315_V1 and I see Archer C80_V1&V2.2 also support EasyMesh Ethernet Backhaul.

So if you have updated both of them to the latest firmware, the Ethernet Backhaul will work properly.

EasyMesh Routers Support Building a EasyMesh Network via Ethernet Backhaul NOW

Best regards.

  @David-TP 


Is this ethernet backhaul capability available to the RE450?

 

The RE315 only has a 10/100 ethernet port while the 450 has a 10/100/1000

 

Thanks

Hi, It is planned to be supported on different models but there hasn't been a clear timeline for a specific model.

How about the model number of your host router?

Thank you very much and best regards.

RE315 V1 - Unable to synchronize system time with NTP servers when connected via ethernet backhaul ...

 

And therefore can't set auto restart and LED night mode properly due to wrong time...

  @skeen1970 

Hi, have you tried to reset the new RE315, and then connect it directly via Ethernet cable to A6?

I would like to follow up on your case via email. Please check whether you can receive my email later.

Wait for your reply and best regards.

  @RMitev 

Hi, May I know the model number of your EasyMesh Host router?

Did it help if you changed the DNS server on the host router to 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4?

And can I have a screenshot of the time settings on the RE315?

Wait for your reply and best regards.
