TP-Link EB810v - Quick overview

[xiaofan]

I’m getting a second 810v for my bedroom with a lan port. Can the ONT support the wired backhaul through the lan point at the DBbox?

No. ONT has only single 10G LAN port working.

ONT - EB810v in DB box, second EB810 in the bedroom.

So only can do wireless backhaul correct?

Ethernet backhaul:
ONT - EB810v in DB box -- wired connection -- second EB810 in the bedroom.

Wireless backhaul:
ONT -- EB810v in living room -- wireless -- EB810v in bedroom.

Is the new firmware available for real? Or it's another hoax again?
I still don't see any new firmware available on my EB810v.

It's real, it bricked my router. Grr... Switched back to my trusted Google wifi while waiting for starhub to send tech over.

Looks like you have no LAN ports in the rooms and you are using wireless backhaul. TP-Link Archer BE230 is a low end dual band EasyMesh node and it is a poor addition to the EB810v, if you need to use wireless backhaul. But if you have LAN ports in the rooms, then maybe there are better setup using Ethernet Backhaul to suit your needs.

Anyway, since you have already bought the Archer BE230, please post the floor plan (with details of the locations of the ONT, main EB810v and Archer BE230, as well as LAN ports in the rooms if any) to see how to optimize the placement of the main EB810v and the Archer BE230 node.

In general, the mesh node needs to have good connection to the main nodes, two walls in between the main node and the mesh node is a NO-NO. Best is to have line of sight with no walls in between. Depending on the situation, you may be okay with one wall in between the main node and mesh node.

Often people think that it is good to put the wireless mesh node (or repeater) to the room with weak signal, that is usually the worst choice.

Hi @xiaofan , Thanks for the reply. Here I post the floor plan. Main EB810v and ONT are the M location. I have LAN port at S location hence I put BE230 there. I'm using ethernet backhaul. With this setup I have good coverage at most location except Bedroom 2 where totally can't connect to WIFI at EB810v, it can barely connect to 5Ghz band on Be230. Another problem is I use guest WIFI for IoT device, so IoT device in Bedroom 2 can't connect to Guest wifi on EB810v.
I'm thinking to put a TP-Link Wifi Range extender at X location. As this location has line of sight with EB810v. Will it work with EB810v? Any low cost TP-Link Wifi Range extender to recommend?
Another option is to put a cheap wifi router (maybe Archer AX72) at location X. But I can only use wireless backhaul for easymesh as there is no LAN port there.
What is your suggestion?

Just use the Archer AX72 then. It is about S$80 BNIB from Carousell and better than all the TP-Link Range Extenders.

Hi,

TIA for the reply.

1. Can the tp-link eb810v ethernet backhauled with a BE230? All my devices are non-wifi7 currently. so just a cheap way to extend the coverage for short term first.

Thanks for the reply. I actually prefer to use Range Extender as it won't take up space on that location. Also based on what I found on TP-Link website, Range Extender support Guest Wifi too.

Yes it can. I'm using ethernet backhaul on these 2 devices.
But please be aware that TP-link easymesh is still a half baked solution with some limitations. You can refer to the previous few posts from xiaofan.

How is it that everyone got firmware update but nothing on my EB810v? Do I need to restart?

seems phased roll outs, why SH should yolo release the OTA.

Someone reported it brick their router, won’t be surprised SH now pause rollout!

Will it be a good idea to EasyMeah with BE550?

 

[sean29]

So mine was confirmed bricked by the hub trooper. Replaced with a new unit, let's see how stable this new unit is now.

Should be fine.
