How to add a router to an EasyMesh network as a satellite device
187129 EasyMesh routers and routers can work together to form one unified Wi-Fi network. Walk through your home and stay connected with the fastest possible speeds thanks to EasyMesh’s seamless coverage.
Note:
The main router and satellite routers must be compatible with EasyMesh. If your router only supports OneMesh, a firmware upgrade to EasyMesh-Supported is required.
For TP-Link EasyMesh DSL Modem Routers, such as the Archer VX1800v, it can only operate as a main router. It does not support OneMesh™.
