I thought you used all the blank bold lines to represent the Ethernet connection.

Yes, that's what I did. And that's what you (TP-Link) do in all your articles. Why doubt it at all?

There aren't many discrepancies and the technical support does have his highlights and focus.

Really? Is this how you gatekeep your support agents? That's how you reply to all the quotes I showed? So, if I ask two guys what's the color of the sky and the first say it's blue and the second say it's brown, I should trust both. They are just sharing different highlights and focus. Correct?

I believe since you decided to seek confirmation in the community, you do want to compare different ideas.

Unfortunately, I'm not there yet. I'm still playing the game "find the liar". At this point, I'm looking for a single person in the universe who knows how the mentioned products actually work. And maybe then I can compare different ideas.

Considering you already have an Easymesh router-Archer AX20(AX1800), it is natural to keep EasyMesh and add several EasyMesh extenders.

Amazing insight. That said, this is a fresh quote (from today) from that same support:

"For the Archer AX20, we regret to tell you that the model doesn't support Easymesh.
You may refer to the compatible list for Easymesh Products.
https://www.tp-link.com/us/easymesh/product-list/#wi-fi-routers
Because AX20 does not support easymesh, even if RE315 supports it, they cannot form easymesh."

The funniest thing is that my router is actually contained in that same link. That must be a case of "different focus". Right?

For the Deco Mesh recommendation, the technical support and I both agreed Deco in Access Point mode would be the best configuration.
However, I realized the support might think you plan to set up a different Deco Mesh network in each house, House 1 with AX20+2*Deco M4 and House 2 with a single Deco. It would be a misunderstanding.  We could add all the 3*Deco M4s(or more, 2 sets as you mentioned) in two houses together under the same Deco Mesh network.

Best regards.

I will try to neglect the way you tried to gatekeep your support again with that misunderstanding nonsense.

Bottom line. If I have three Deco M4 units each connected directly to my main router through ethernet cable would all these three units form a proper mesh?

If yes: if I add another Deco unit, but this time wirelessly - would all these four units form a proper mesh?

@David-TP,

Okay. I will continue the gambling with you.

Quoting my quote:

"For the Archer AX20, we regret to tell you that the model doesn't support Easymesh."

But because I don't want to bring that other support into this mess and make you gatekeep them again, I'll rephrase my question:

Does Archer AX20 v3.0 support EasyMesh?

If yes: does Archer AX20 v3.0 support EasyMesh via Ethernet Backhaul?

@David-TP,

Okay. Onto the next one.

If I have two RE315 extenders each connected directly to my main router through ethernet cable would all these three units (AX20 + 2X ethernet RE315) form a proper mesh?

If yes: Can I add another RE315 extender, but this time wirelessly - either connect it to the main router or to one of the other extenders?

If yes: Would all these four units (AX20 + 2X ethernet RE315 + 1x wireless RE315) form a proper mesh?

And there is one more notice RE315 has a fast Ethernet post which is up to 100Mbps.

Okay. Considering this limitation plus the recommendation to connect the wireless extender to the router directly, I think the superior choice for my case would be to keep/extend the Deco mesh. I've attached the final scheme (hopefully).

I need one last approval that everything will be stable and that a proper mesh with all four nodes (four Decos) will be created. Of course, I'd disable AX20's Wi-Fi and keep the Deco in AP mode.
