Hello,

I have bought 2 Archer AX53 recently. Earlier before this purchase, i had few posts to understand the mesh network concept.

I had got a link in which the topologies were explained to form a mesh network. Link - https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/697572.

As per the above link i am trying the topo3 method based on the locations of the routers.

One archer ax53 is kept at first floor and it is the main router of the mesh network which is in AP mode (wired from ISP modem _ GX brand). Exactly the same way how it is visible in topo3.

The second archer ax53 (latest purchase) is at ground floor and it is connected to the ISP modem by wire (Router mode). But when I try to connect this second one to the mesh network I am not able to get it done. Could you please support me ?

Should I have the second ax53 in router mode or AP mode to connect it to the mesh network ? In topo3, it says main is in AP mode and satellite in router mode. If I try wireless it works, but the speed is not great due to the concrete of the house. I request to help me in connecting the second archer ax53 to be added in the mesh network. 

Getting a wire from first archer ax53 is difficult, hence i prefer topo3 setup.

Anticipating your reply,

Thanks,

Arun
