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.

@David-TP I recently purchased an RE605X (V3) and discovered during setup that it does not support Ethernet backhaul. Considering this model is actively listed on TP-Link’s website (and even promoted as new in some EU countries), it’s surprising that such a fundamental feature is missing.
Could you provide any information on when Ethernet backhaul support will be added? It would be helpful to have at least an estimated timeline for this feature.

@David-TP When will easymesh ethernet backhaul support be added to the RE705X? I just bought this product and was honestly quite surprised that it wasn't supported already. The product documentation should be updated to point out this huge shortcoming until the firmware is upgraded to support it.

@hwelcher & @mmaicon , see this comment that I wrote in May this year.
In the era of generative artificial intelligence, their lack of committement to adding Ethernet backhaul to the extenders is appalling.
Plus, given TP-Link's very questionable practice of releasing multiple hardware versions of the same products keeping exactly the same product name, which I described in this comment, I wouldn't be surprised if they simply add ethernet backhaul in future new versions of the extenders, instead of adding this functionality to the models already released.
What are your thoughts on this?
Edit: amended the links to my comments.

@David-TP Please support RE705X.
I purchased the RE330 but found out the ethernet cable only supports 100 m/s. With trust of TP link products, I have purchased RE705X and shockingly realise that RE705X does not support Ethernet Backhaul!! This is huge disappointment. Please help to support the RE705X as honestly I think this is an expected feature.

Hi, welcome to the community.
May I know the model number of the Host router?
It would be highly appreciated if you could start a new thread here with more details:
https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/77
If connecting to the separate 6GHz band of RE600BE, how much speed you will get?
By the way, how much speed you could get from the host router?
Wait for your reply and best regards.
