Hello friends of cultured entertainment... I just ordered a RE705X repeater only to find out on the forum that it doesn't actually support wired mesh? So is Tp-Link kidding me? How am I supposed to share 500mbps internet over two almost meter-wide stone walls? Nowadays, I would believe it's commonplace... And you still haven't created it for many products for several years? This repeater costs much more than a router that could do it. Regardless of the fact that basically mesh can be achieved with any manufacturer? I can get it to work stably with your cheap router and an x-year-old mikrotik, and you are not able to put it together on the same technology? Is this a joke? Setting up a stable connection is difficult, but it can be done. I want to hear the official statement when you will release it! I repeat, it's almost a lawsuit, because selling such expensive repeaters for fun and not being able to feed it with a cable is treason! Shame on you and deal with it before I get there to spank you!

For other people who are as frustrated as I am... The repeater will arrive tomorrow or the day after, so I'll sacrifice the evening and start it up, even though the Tatars don't officially support it, and I'll post here the procedure how and what to set to make it work. Thank you for your patience, because I can't stand watching how incompetent people are in such a gigantic company. Have a nice day.

I completely understand your frustration. When I purchased my RE705X-V1 a year ago, I also expected to connect it to my AX55 using the Ethernet backhaul for an EasyMesh connection. The packaging (nor the official product page) didn’t make it clear that it was wireless backhaul ONLY, which was really misleading.

Given that enabling Ethernet backhaul is a relatively simple software update, I’m genuinely surprised it has taken this long to implement. TP-Link should at the very least provide transparency about their roadmap or, ideally, offer refunds for what feels like false advertising.

  @David-TP Any chances to update RE505X?

  @David-TP 

Hi David, I am hoping for RE500X, RE700X, & RE705X to support Ethernet backhaul really soon.

I need to extend Wi-Fi where there is no coverage. The Ethernet backhaul would solve this problem.

Also, I want to connect the extender to an unmanaged ethernet switch.

Thank you.

Low WiFi speed after Ethernet backhaul

So last week I bought a new

  @serengeti 

I think I just found out the answer myself. RE315 has no gigabit LAN port.

@David-TP we need an extender with 1000 Mbps LAN to support Ethernet backhaul!

  @David-TP re315 only has a 100mbps port? That's rather slow and useless and renders the Ethernet backhaul quite limited.

We would love to see Ethernet backhaul support added to extenders with a 1000mbps port like the re550, one of the best selling extender on Amazon.

  @David-TP 

  @David-TP now I'm using an ax72pro as main and some routers to do the Ethernet backhaul.

in some rooms this isnugle and I would like to use range extenders as can be mounted on the wall.

can all the RE posted and the ones you will post in the future able to Extenders the. same network with the same name using Ethernet backhaul wit my main?

thanks! 
 

if true I will probably wait until RE 330 as re315 with the antenas is a little bit ugly :(
