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 when will we get Ethernet backhaul for the RE800BE to connect with an GE800?

Thanks for supporting the Range Extenders that you do with Ethernet Backhaul for easymesh. Of course I wish there were more, but I'm glad there are some. I doubled (as expected) my throughput moving from RE815XE (which I mistakenly thought supported ethernet backhaul {Stupid AI reponses}) to RE655BE. My wife hates the look of little boxes, antennas, and cones on all the countertops and shelves as MESH nodes, but we do not mind the RE's at ground level plugged directly into an outlet. We changed from 5 Synology Wired Mesh Nodes on shelves (WiFi 5) to 2 Wired TPLink (WiFi 7) and 1 Wireless TPLink (WiFi 6 - old one I had laying around) and we now have better performance (wire speed) all over the house. I'm still on windows 10, but it will be nice when I switch wto Windows 11 over the summer and all my devices (about 10) can run WIFI 7. I'm still using my synology as primiary firewall. That is my only ding on TPLink is how lightweight the advanced controls are for firewall, intrusion detection, alerts and reporting. Nevertheless I'm pretty happy with my recent addition of TPLink to my home / work at home setup.

I wonder if @David-TP still works for TP Link, he doesn't seem to reply anymore in any threads 
.
Anyways, would be nice if anyone at TP Link could answer the questions in this (and other) thread(s).

Is the RE700X v1 planned to support EasyMesh in AP mode?
I have one and would like to configure EasyMesh with ethernet backhaul.
Thank you.

@banc I'm interested too... I have a GE800 and two RE800 but easy mesh ethernet backhaul don't work. I had to set the 2 repeater as access point but it isn't the same thing.

@teoteo82 yes in my case I connected my RE800BE in access point mode using 10G backend to my GE800. So this is also not a great solution but has to do until the planned release with ethernet backhaul for the RE800BE ist available.
I am also very disappointed that TP Link doesn't bother at all to react to our messages in this thread but unfortuneatly have also no other news thus far.
