Great video explaining the limitations of OneMesh. I'm using 4 AX10's, all as wired AP's, and when I saw the new firmware with OneMesh, I was hoping the mesh technology could be used to improve handover between them while keeping the wired backhaul. Sadly no, but at least my question was answered quickly.
Thank you. You cleared up all the confusion. I bought 3 routers for my home, but I couldn't set up the "one mesh" network. Thanks to you, I now understand why I couldn't do it. I wish TP-Link had explained it as clearly as you did.
Thanks Behfor, I recently started watching your videos when I had to configure my router as wireless repeater, I must say, you make amazing videos, really helped me a lot.
On my home onemesh network I had to disable the 2.4ghz band because my devices connected preferably to that band and, with that, the speed was reduced a lot. When I turned off the 2.4GHz band all devices obviously started to connect with the 5GHz band, with excellent speed. I was intrigued by this. I suspect that the devices give reference to the strongest signal and not the fastest. Here's a tip for those who are having speed problems with the onemesh network: try disabling the 2.4ghz network. In my case, living in a 3-bedroom apartment (90m2), the 5ghz band, using the ArcherAX10 router and the RE500X repeater, got the job well done.
It looked like you could name the 2.4 and 5.0 networks as different ssid. Its helpful so that my outdoor devices (camera garage opener, etc) get better signal with 2.4 and inside the house 5.0 is my default for phone and tvs. But Im not sure if its possible on tp. Any thoughts?
@@drmiteshtrivedi Yes, it is possible. Just turn off one mesh option and you will have two separate bands with different names, being one 2.4ghz and other 5ghz. Cheers.
nice video. i was actually gonna upgrade my main router, and use my TP-link rolder on as one mesh repeater. never crossed my mind it couldnt be done. at least now im free to choose another brand of router
Your video just saved me from buying another router to try and make a mesh connection at home. I have been trying to find out wether one mesh will work with another router or not and couldn't find information about it. It is sad to see that onemesh would work only with repeaters and I can't make an access point for example and set up one mesh.
Yes again you answer the question I could not find anywhere else. The One Mesh wifi setup works like the Xfinity Pods where it dynamically selects the bandwidth and you don't get to decide.
Very well explained, Thanks! I was trying to decide between TPLINK AX20 and Huawei AX 3 Pro. Basically because of the Mesh capabilities, I am likely to go with AX3 Pro
Had the same issue with it - wish the OneMesh worked with multiple routers too, instead of it being limited to a router-repeater set. Shame. I'm sure the software and hardware is already there in all the routers. Just a question of their will, to enable it.
Very good explanation, I got 2 extenders which I assumed will connect to each other in a daisy chain to allow me to extend my wireless network to my outdoor workshop. That seems to be not the case with the TP link OneMesh system. It appears to be configured as a star network where each extender connects to the main network i.e. router. If there are any workarounds for this that would allow me to daisy chain the extenders and that don't involve me having to rewire my house i'd be keen to hear them!
Hi Behfor, I have watched most of your videos and I must say you make great Videos. In Your Video, Content coverage is amazing. I appreciate all your efforts make so much informative videos. All the details you mentioned are very helpful & useful. Recently, I have seen your both Videos related to TP-Link OneMesh and I have 1 below query: I have Router Archer C6 (Primary) & Range Extender RE305. I established OneMesh Network, Now what if connect another tp-link router (as Access Point) to Primary Router Archer C6 through LAN Cable?
Hi and thanks! You can connect an AP yo your network but that will not participate in your OneMesh network. You can manually create wireless networks on the AP though.
BTW using a Gb Ethernet back-haul is game changer in our home along with the ASUS's very flexible guest network to setup a segmented WiFi network to safely have all my IoT devices connected and separated for my intranet along with iPhone's and iPad's which don't need intranet access either just internet - network isolation is a wonderful thing :))
Thank you for the video! I have a one remaining question. Do I have to connect "OneMesh node" directly to the primary router? Or is it possible to connect to another "OneMesh node" and create this kinda long line? (e.g.: Router node (connected to the router) node (connected only to the node))
Great video, thanks! Can you please elaborate why I can't use other OneMesh routers as satellite devices? I have Archer AX23 as main router, and want to buy 2 Archer C64 for my different rooms. I was going to buy them and connect but decided to watch your video first
If you had an accommodation dorm in a university, what wifi mesh system would you recommend for such a big setup? It will need to cover about 60 rooms spread out between 4 buildings. Distance between each building is less than 50 meters.
@@Behfor I would love to have a permanent hardwired wifi system. Unfortunately, we aren't allowed to drill or run any cables. So wifi mesh seems to be our only option.
OneMesh is only for TP-Link devices, so everything has to be TP-Link to be able to participate in OneMesh. Please check the TP-Link website for the list of supported devices. Now if your Wireless router is not supported you might still be able to connect a TP-Link extender as a repeater to extend the range but unfortunately not as an OneMesh node Thanks.
@@Behfor I see thanks! My hunch was right. Cause The router was TP-link. Glad I asked first to confirm and I did not order the sale I saw. Thanks for the answer.
In setup you indicate you must connect BOTH radios to the mesh, 2.4 and 5 gig, what if the 2.4 gig radio has been turned off and will never be used, therefore it is not available, can the mesh node still be installed using only the 5 gig radio ? thanks
So we have to connect both bands to create onemesh? Does this mean the router and extender have to be in the same platforms, dual bands = dual bands, triple bands = triple bands, can't we have single band onemesh?
Hi, nice video, can you use two archer units and make them as your one mesh unit...instead of getting mesh node? Is there such a thing or is it capable? Thanks a lot
I have a question and I really need your help…are onemesh nodes connect to each other or only to router ?? As I have a very big location and need to find internet solution to cover it with internet
I just bought the Archer VR400 and I'm having issues with connectivity. I have two RE230 extenders with OneMesh connected. Are these devices compatible? Is there anything I may be doing wrong. I used to have an Archer A7 in place of the VR400 and it worked great.
Hi pls clear my daubts as i saw somewhere.. Can i use this archer a6 as wireless repeater or wireless ap with some other brand router to increase range, i had used old tp link routers witch was having option of wireless bridge where wifi survey option was available to scan and connect near by wifi
Thanks for making this video. In the first 4 minutes I already decided this One Mesh is not for me. I want my access points connected via ethernet backhaul. I also want to use routers/APs as mesh nodes. Why TP-Link. Why?
@@Behfor After doing a little more research I think I've found the answer to this question. TP-Link makes Omada. A professional mesh product line. It requires the use of a controller and has much more flexible setup in terms of network topology. Perhaps they don't want the less expensive home setup to overlap and at least partially take the place of some or all of the Omada gear?
@@JeffScott-1978 I agree with you, that could be the case. Unfortunately they do not add full features in their home networking devices even though the hardware is capable! That's why the whole concept of 3rd party firmware came to existence! Thanks for the research and also sharing! Cheers!
Awesome video, what is the best range to put the mesh node. Is it ok to put my node where I get 10-20 % wifi signal strength from primary router. So that I can extend to more place. Will my node get the full speed?
No, OneMesh is very limited. One of the limitations is that the connection between the nodes (backhaul connection) cannot be wired. You can (as far as remember) setup the re200 as an access point and connect it to the router, but not as a onemesh node.
Can you please recommend if to increase wifi coverage in my house should I add RE450 wifi range extender or RE300 Mesh wifi extender? I have archer A7 router
Well, I have not tried either of them so unfortunately I cannot tell you which one has a better range for sure, but in my experience usually when the device has external antennas, the range is better, but as I said I cannot answer your question because I haven't tested those devices. Thanks.
@behfor If I use multiple Re220 devices, must each one be within range of the main router or just within range of another Re220? Meaning..can they be daisy chained?
What would be the best device to extend and create a safe network in a hotel room (using hotel free wifi - cannot access any LAN port, should be configurable by wifi only)? I tested a small GL.inet nomad router but it looses the connection too often. Thank you
Thanks, is it possible to connecte nodes on each other so they communicate between each other like the Deco Mesh systeme ? Also it will be nice if you could make a comparaison between Deco Mesh and OneMesh systeme.
I have a TP-Link Mesh Router Archer AX90 AX6600 and if buy Mesh 1x Deco X90, Should i connect the Router and Deco by Wire or it can work wireless. Please advice
You need to have a supported OneMesh router for the onmesh network to work. Unfortunately you cannot use the extender in AP mode to create an OneMesh network. Thanks
I have TP-Link wifi powerline adaptors with wonder if it still uses wifi to connect with each other, or use normal power socket to do its data transfers for internet? If you have any information on this let me know, before i buy TP-LINK AXE75 AX5400 router for onemesh seamless wifi feature.
I have an Tp ax1500 router. Can I connect my old Archer C6 AC 1200 to it to use it as a mesh node or access point to increase my wifi coverage. If so , how to do it?
You can connect your old router as an access point to extend your coverage, not as a mesh node. You change its operation mode to AP, set up wifi networks, then connect its wan port to a LAN port on the main router.
Can I make a mesh node between two TP link devices, one which is currently use as a repeater? In other words, if I have a router (brand X) and a TPlink RE655 connected as a repeater, can I add a 2nd TPlink to the first one and add it as mesh or as a repeater?
Depends on what 2 tp-link devices are. If they are both repeaters you can't make a onemesh network with them, you need to have a tp-link router for that, however you can still use both of them as repeaters with your brand x router.
Hello, how many tplink devices I can connect to the tplink one mesh system, just like I can 2 tplink devices connected to the tplink c7 router one mesh system? Or I can Put just one?
Hello, I am am having 2 same model routers spreading wifi from different ISP on opposite corners of my apartment. As concrete is too thick I have coverage of both routers only in the middle. If I buy any 2 piece deco pack, should I be able to configure them separately to the 2 different routers? I mean, are they paired to each other or I can use them 1 by 1 on different locations and networks respectively? Sorry for the dumb question, but those guys in the store said it will not happen... somehow I hope they were not enough informed.
Hi @Behfor, I have recently started watching your video and I liked it too much. You are really doing great. You have made a Video with ASUS router for the Dual WAN feature. - Could you please suggest other Dual Band Wifi Router supporting Dual WAN and Mesh Technology? - Is there any other workaround to have Dual WAN setup on TP-LINK routers (I am using TP-LINK Archer C6-OneMesh)? Thanks in advance.
Hi, thanks and I'm glad you liked the video :-) If your router doesn't have the dual-wan feature, a possible workaround is to install a third party firmware such as DD-WRT that has that feature! Of course that depends on whether the router supports that firmware or not, and whether you are willing to take the risk of installing a custom firmware or not, because it might void the manufacturer's warranty and if something goes wrong it can brick the wireless router!
I have the AX55. I think it's a little stupid that if I wanted to add an extender that I could not use gigabit Ethernet to do that. Seems like that would be better.
Hi, great video, one question though. Do you know if the wireless backhaul runs on same channel as the wifi network or different. I have archer c6 + re200 and the backhaul is on same channel. Do you think having backhaul on a different channel will improve performance ? I can't find a setting for this.
Hi, that's the limitation of the mesh network. Basically a wireless device can only use one channel for each radio at a time. If the repeater is connected to the main router using 2.4 GHz CH 1, it can only rebroadcast on 2.4 GHz on the same channel. That's why using access point to extend the WiFi is much more professional, or even using repeater with different radios for backhaul and clients. Thanks.
@@Behfor Thanks. What I have seen is that in one mesh setup tp link router broadcasts hidden ssids which I think is used as backhaul by the tp link extender.
Thanks a lot . Nice Video . Question : In order to install and use a Mesh with the Router , don't you need to upgrade the router's firmware? Or router supports mesh directly from the box (talking about an Archer C7) . Thanks again
The fact that you can't use more than one router in the OneMesh is dumb. The Archer AX10 router is approximately £75 in the UK, only a £10 premium over the RE505X, and yet comes with a much more usable 4 ports. I find the plug in extenders just to restrictive, not just in available ports (can always plug into a switch, sure) but also just in form factor. If AIMesh can allow multiple routers, there should be no reason why this can't. It wouldn't be so bad, but TP-Link parental controls are semi-decent whereas they are archaic on the ASUS devices and not good enough on the NETGEAR. So frustrating.
luckily watch your video before i purchase 🙏 really disappointed for tplink onemesh technology~ i think Asus is the better option for me to buy 2 asus router make aimesh. Thanks your explanation on the video 🤓
Thank you so much for this great video!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 I already have a Archer C7 (twin of A7) in the basement and I got Cat6 ethernet cabling done throughout the house. It's a shame that the repeaters cannot connect to the C7 via ethernet. Otherwise, this would have been an inexpensive way of getting a whole house wired mesh network. Would you recommend using the Deco M4/5 as access points connected via ethernet to the C7?

I have an Tp ax1500 router. Can I connect my old Archer C6 AC 1200 to it to use it as a mesh node or access point to increase my wifi coverage. If so , how to do it?
You can connect your old router as an access point to extend your coverage, not as a mesh node. You change its operation mode to AP, set up wifi networks, then connect its wan port to a LAN port on the main router.
Can I make a mesh node between two TP link devices, one which is currently use as a repeater? In other words, if I have a router (brand X) and a TPlink RE655 connected as a repeater, can I add a 2nd TPlink to the first one and add it as mesh or as a repeater?
Depends on what 2 tp-link devices are. If they are both repeaters you can't make a onemesh network with them, you need to have a tp-link router for that, however you can still use both of them as repeaters with your brand x router.
How many extender connect in one mesh in tp link one mesh router
Typically when using repeater, you get half the wifi speed. Does it happen to using OneMesh node?

Will one mesh work with a deco mesh routers.
Unfortunately not (at least for now)
Hello, how many tplink devices I can connect to the tplink one mesh system, just like I can 2 tplink devices connected to the tplink c7 router one mesh system? Or I can Put just one?
Hi, I'm not sure what's the maximum number of devices you can connect to the onemesh system, however, you can definitely connect more than one. 👍
Behfor can I connect two tplink c7 with each other, to work together on the onemesh system?
As I said in the video unfortunately no
Hello, I am am having 2 same model routers spreading wifi from different ISP on opposite corners of my apartment. As concrete is too thick I have coverage of both routers only in the middle. If I buy any 2 piece deco pack, should I be able to configure them separately to the 2 different routers? I mean, are they paired to each other or I can use them 1 by 1 on different locations and networks respectively? Sorry for the dumb question, but those guys in the store said it will not happen... somehow I hope they were not enough informed.
Hi @Behfor,
I have recently started watching your video and I liked it too much. You are really doing great.
You have made a Video with ASUS router for the Dual WAN feature.
- Could you please suggest other Dual Band Wifi Router supporting Dual WAN and Mesh Technology?
- Is there any other workaround to have Dual WAN setup on TP-LINK routers (I am using TP-LINK Archer C6-OneMesh)?
Thanks in advance.
Hi, thanks and I'm glad you liked the video :-)
If your router doesn't have the dual-wan feature, a possible workaround is to install a third party firmware such as DD-WRT that has that feature! Of course that depends on whether the router supports that firmware or not, and whether you are willing to take the risk of installing a custom firmware or not, because it might void the manufacturer's warranty and if something goes wrong it can brick the wireless router!
I have the AX55. I think it's a little stupid that if I wanted to add an extender that I could not use gigabit Ethernet to do that. Seems like that would be better.
Hi, great video, one question though. Do you know if the wireless backhaul runs on same channel as the wifi network or different. I have archer c6 + re200 and the backhaul is on same channel. Do you think having backhaul on a different channel will improve performance ? I can't find a setting for this.
Hi, that's the limitation of the mesh network. Basically a wireless device can only use one channel for each radio at a time. If the repeater is connected to the main router using 2.4 GHz CH 1, it can only rebroadcast on 2.4 GHz on the same channel. That's why using access point to extend the WiFi is much more professional, or even using repeater with different radios for backhaul and clients. Thanks.
@@Behfor Thanks. What I have seen is that in one mesh setup tp link router broadcasts hidden ssids which I think is used as backhaul by the tp link extender.
I've bought one of these, does anyone know if I can use it with my 'personal hotspot' on my phone or not?
Thanks a lot . Nice Video . Question : In order to install and use a Mesh with the Router , don't you need to upgrade the router's firmware? Or router supports mesh directly from the box (talking about an Archer C7) . Thanks again
Hi, I'm not too sure about the C7, however it's recommended to have the latest firmware installed.
Hi i have a Archer AX73 in the living room, if I get an TP link extender RE505X, am I able to roam using same SSID in masterbedroom?
The fact that you can't use more than one router in the OneMesh is dumb. The Archer AX10 router is approximately £75 in the UK, only a £10 premium over the RE505X, and yet comes with a much more usable 4 ports. I find the plug in extenders just to restrictive, not just in available ports (can always plug into a switch, sure) but also just in form factor. If AIMesh can allow multiple routers, there should be no reason why this can't. It wouldn't be so bad, but TP-Link parental controls are semi-decent whereas they are archaic on the ASUS devices and not good enough on the NETGEAR. So frustrating.
Yup, I hope TP-Link changes their policy and allow to use multiple W Routers in the OnMesh, it doesn't make sense to me either! cheers.
@@Behfor Hi, anything changed with that? or TP LINK still block use multuple Routers in the OneMesh? :)
Thanks for the great info.. need help...so should I get A7 over C6? For mesh setup..thanks in advance
The c6 is good for most people
Are you sure the back haul cannot be ethernet? I see an ethernet port on the RE220.
luckily watch your video before i purchase 🙏 really disappointed for tplink onemesh technology~ i think Asus is the better option for me to buy 2 asus router make aimesh. Thanks your explanation on the video 🤓
Thanks for sharing! Glad this video was useful for you :-)
Thank you so much for this great video!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I already have a Archer C7 (twin of A7) in the basement and I got Cat6 ethernet cabling done throughout the house. It's a shame that the repeaters cannot connect to the C7 via ethernet. Otherwise, this would have been an inexpensive way of getting a whole house wired mesh network.
Would you recommend using the Deco M4/5 as access points connected via ethernet to the C7?
Thank you ❤️
Can you demonstrate adding 2 re300 to increase the mesh coverage?
