Setting Up a Wired Mesh Network with Two TP-Link Routers and Repeaters
Setting Up a Wired Mesh Network with Two TP-Link Routers and Repeaters
Hello TP-Link Community,
I'm planning to set up a mesh network in my company using two TP-Link routers.
Because right now, we have the problem that our router is too far away and the repeaters do repeat the signal but it's to weak and we can't use it for browsing or video calls.
The objective is to have both routers connected via Ethernet cables and to incorporate mesh repeaters for extended coverage. Here are the details of what I intend to do:
- I will position the two routers at different locations within the company premises.
- Both routers will be wired connections.
- I want these routers to be part of the same WLAN mesh network.
- In addition to the routers, we plan to use mesh repeaters to ensure comprehensive coverage.
My questions are:
- Is it possible to set up two wired TP-Link routers in the same mesh network?
- Can these routers simultaneously support wired connections and manage the mesh repeaters?
I would appreciate any advice on the setup, especially regarding the compatibility and configuration of the routers and repeaters in a mesh network. If there are specific models or settings you recommend, please let me know.
Thank you in advance for your assistance!

I have kind of a similar question, so posting it here:
- I got 2x Archer AX 55 (V1) on the latest firmware 1.3.2 Build 20240325, one upstairs (where the IP modem is) and the other one downstairs
Right now, I successfully set them up with Easy Mesh with Ethernet Backhaul. Speeds are good so far, but before the FW update, I had them both connected directly to the modem from the IP via LAN cable and set up two different wifis "upstairs" and "downstairs" throughout the house. Speeds were better when connecting to the corresponding wifi on the corresponding floor.
I am wondering whether it would work to set up Easy Mesh via WLAN and still connect the satellite Archer AX 55 directly via LAN cable to the IP modem as well. So technically, I only would like to have one shared WLAN around the house, but both distributing Archer AX 55 would be connected separately via LAN cable to the IP modem.
Does this work?

It seems what you're describing as a goal is the Easy Mesh with Ethernet Backhaul itself.
If you unplug the cable of one or both AX55, Easymesh should switch/revert to a wireless backhaul as a backup.
Here's the guide for configuring.
