Model: Range Extender  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

Hello,

 

I just purchased a  RE605X Range Extender and have some questions which I was not able to find the answers.

 

1)  Does this support wired backhaul?

 

2) If wired, then should this be put into AP Mode?

 

3)  Will the OneMesh system work if wired in AP Mode?

 

 

Thank you!

1/2. The device should have Access Point Mode which turns the extender to a wired access point. : https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/1325/

 

3. OneMesh does not support Ethernet backhaul.

Are there plans to support OneMesh with an RExxx that has an "ethernet backhaul" in future versions of the firmware, or is it impossible with current hardware? It would be great to have the convenience of OneMesh with the increased bandwidth of a wired "ethernet backhaul" connection between the RExxx and router. FWIW, I have an RE315 extender and Archer_A6 router. BTW... Just saw this exact same request brought up in Forum Topic 235540, "OneMesh Ethernet Backhaul". Other forum topics brought up similar requests, though appeared to accept the less desirable workaround (e.g. AP mode with different SSID and no OneMesh functionality).

@Tony i am also exploring mesh wifi different models/setup and different brands too. but really looking at RE605X mesh capabilities but a bit disappointed it doesnt support mesh in wired ap mode/backhaul. i like the design with integrated AC as it doesnt add to those wire cluttering. hopefully tp-link can come up with an update and support mesh in ap mode or come up with a new model but same AC integrated design.

@Tony  OneMesh does support wired backhaul. At least on the deco models. So might this be coming for the RE605x too?

 

I just received mine expecting it to be capable of this, but quite a disappointment for me now to be honest. If this functionality will not come. What models do or will support backhauling incl support for WiFi6 & WPA3. (I'm combining it with the AX6000)
