Model: Archer AXE75  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.0 (latest)

as per title, and per image bellow:

 

 

it is absolutely useless to have an option to enable Guest and IoT Network if they are NOT transmitted/extended by EasyMesh

 

we have guests up there and surprise-surprise we also have a lot of IoT devices up there and all over the place. whole point of having Geust and IoT Network is to unload and secure the main wifi network. it is unacceptable to not have an option to extend those too.

 

what if we want to connect IoT devices up there too? or what if we do not need Guest Network down there at all, only up?

 

therefore, make it happen to be able to select multiple (at least) 2,4Ghz SSIDs to be extended when establishing EasyMesh Network 

 

as things are now we can do only:

  1. not use Guest and IoT Networks and have all devices and guests on the main wifi network
  2. buy 4 more extenders to extend Guest and IoT Networks in two directions (UNACCEPTABLE) and even with those 4 more extenders they won't be part of EasyMesh
  3. complain, suggest future request, wait and finally sell all TP-Link faulty products and move to other brand which supports such basic functionality

I regret spending $1000 for top end lineup and assembling the whole tp-link ecosystem just to find out how lame this brand is.

 

to be clear, this is not something that needs to be "developed". the functionality is already there, it is just deliberately locked away! in order to force people to buy latest high-end-flagship overpriced DECO/BExxxx series routers.

 

well guess what, the cup is full, and I've put all my tp-link devices on garage sale for less than a half the price (as they are worthless). as soon as I get rid of them, I'm buying the whole ecosystem from ASUS.

 

no more lies. I literally hold in my hands original boxes from my AXE75 routers, and on them there are printed false claims and features that do not exist!

  @hWmMzIfYNRISEgn 

 

Hello, thank you for posting on the TP-Link community, and we certainly appreciate all your feedback and feature request(s) here.

While we don't have any specific details that I can share around if the features can come to your home router, or when it might, I'll make sure to log this feature request and pass it along to the team.

I'm moving this conversation into the ‘Feature Request (Routers)' area and tagging it as a ‘Future Consideration’ for better visibility.

Feel free to let us know of any other feature requests you may have, we’d be happy to send them up for you.

I would like this function on my ax23 too. I currently have two of these and I plan to have 6 in total with easymesh technology, but the guest network and IoT are essential

For some reason I can't vote on this but just want to +1 this.

It's in no way clear from any documentation that this isn't possible - I expected OneMesh/EasyMesh to "just work" and extend everything from my main router outwards...

 

Using 2x AX73 and 2x RE700x's :-(

I'd also like to upvote this, but looks like voting is closed.

 

The lack of support for the IoT network in EasyMesh is what's currently withholding me from using it, as the majority of my devices are on the IoT network.

  @hWmMzIfYNRISEgn I also need this for the exact reason discussed by the original poster

  @Marvin_S does this limitation extends to ALL EasyMesh devices, (including the ones launched with EasyMesh default support, such as the HX510), or only to the old models that got updated to support EasyMesh, such as the AXE75, AX53, etc?

Hi, as I know, currently, all the models with Easymesh feature do not support to synchronize guest network and IoT network to satellite routers.

You may vote above, and we will log your feedback~

I was hoping this feature be possible with easymesh. Having the Guest and IoT network to just actually working in the main router limits the range these networks can reach. I have AX55pro as the main with 2 AX23 connected.

This is something I would also appreciate added. Due to the materials my house is made of, I need extenders at different parts of the house, as wifi doesn't penetrate some of my walls. IoT network is useless to me without this feature, and guests can only use my wifi at certain parts of the house only.

 

Edit: I have an Archer AX53 with RE705x extenders.
