TP-Link official statement regarding WPA3 and OneMesh Compatibility.

Model:General Product
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Recently we have had some inquiries about the OneMesh and WPA3 compatibility update for our products, such as the Archer AX50 and Archer AX3000.  While "Coming Soon" was never intended as a guarantee and more of a reference we understand how it was causing some confusion.  To that regard we have made changes to the splash pages for these two services to better articulate the actual intent.  "Coming Soon" has been changed to "Planned".  We also encourage you to review the disclaimer note at the top of the page for further explanation. 



Splash pages for these two services can be found here:

WPA3:
Note: The WPA3 firmware update for products marked "Planned" are not a guarantee. Firmware will only be added should resources and hardware allow. The compatible device list will be updated regularly and the information of planned models is only for reference; TP-Link reserves the right to modify this page at any time without notifying the user.

OneMesh:
Note: The OneMesh firmware update for products marked "Planned" are not a guarantee. Firmware will only be added should resources and hardware allow. The compatible device list will be updated regularly and the information of planned models is only for reference; TP-Link reserves the right to modify this page at any time without notifying the user.

A word of warning.
Don't buy TP-Link AX20 if anyone here wants to use the OneMess functionality.
TP-Link pulled a bait and ignorance on previously AX50 model. They added the NOTICE below after FLASH SALES of AX50.
Note that it is "planned" for the OneMess. Who knows if TP-Link will pull another same stunt on AX20 too.

TP-Link OneMesh firmware for Archer AX20 is already released. 

TP-Link OneMesh firmware for Archer AX20 is already released. 

O.o?
That is unexpected indeed.

Then I have to retract my earlier post. 

But not for Malaysia's version right? I remember someone said it's only for v1.0 but ours is v1.2

Im on unifi 500Mbps
may I know which router should i get?
currently using is unifi router tp link archer c1200

The Shopee AX56U price hasn't updated yet :/

TUF-AX3000 is selling for 529 in Lazada

That AX55 at 259 quid on Laza is very tempting ...

I ended up getting it after I failed to get the AX56U. I remember I have cash in my lazada wallet hahahaha. I don't really need the USB function.

You can get it for RM487.50 at Shopee now from ookas.plus

Just saw it, for 200 more, should I get the tuf-ax3000 instead of ax56u?

It really depends on the coverage size of your home / number of devices connected

In a <1,000 sq ft unit, the 56U should be sufficient

It's double storey

In that case, you're better off with two AX routers in mesh

2 x AX55 will do the job very nicely, especially if you have ethernet backhaul

Thinking about that too but i don't have ethernet backhaul in the house. the options now is either using Wifi extender or homeplug.

No D-Link. Sampah brand. Dunno how many units I have at home all dead. Everything from routers, switches, USB WiFi and even print servers.

Longest serving will be my old Linksys routers and TP-Link access points. Heck, even the cheap Comfast brand more reliable than D-Link.

Might repurpose the husks with Raspberry Pi boards later.

wise suggestion.

the beauty with aimesh system is that u can mix and match with other asus routers that support aimesh, ax or ac

I saw both V1.0 and v1.2 being sold at my local pc shops last week.

Can't be sure if v1.2 supports OneMess or WPA3 or not.

Archer AX20 V1 V1.20 support to be released

AX1800 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Router

That's the only beauty I afraid. Stability and performance depends on which models used. Roaming is pretty much non-existent.

I highly value roaming in a mesh WiFi system. Without a good roaming, mesh WiFi is nothing more than wireless repeater on same SSID.

there is an update on their website: https://www.tp-link.com/my/onemesh/product-list/

Note: The OneMesh firmware update for products marked "Planned" is not a guarantee. The compatible device list will be updated regularly, and TP-Link reserves the right to modify this page at any time without notifying the user. Both listed and higher hardware versions of these models are compatible with OneMesh.

Although I cannot find any online reviews yet, as a mesh system, 2 units of AX55 should have no problem connecting via wireless backhaul

I am currently running AiMesh using different routers / mixed ethernet and wireless backhauls

You do not need any extenders

I got myself the ax56u, 11.11 sales below RM 300,super happy

Was using ac87u. Can say ax56u coverage is way much better. However, the nightmare begins when my smart home switches can't pair with ewelink app using 56u, I have to use a repeater for the smart switches

Hope there's a fix to this in future firmware or ewelink update

I think it's due to WiFi 6 compatibility issue.

Try to disable the WiFi 6 function on the RT-AX56U.

1) Would this damper the range of the router?

2) I also use my old Ac87u as media bridge, connected to this ax56u, disabling wifi6 will it mean I have to change any settings in ac87u?
Appreciate your input. Tq in advance

If you need a wifi quality and improvement, get AX20. if not, or you just need a connection and wifi, for that speed 30mbps, stock wifi router can do.

Good day.

I am currently using RT-AC86U.
Would the AX-55U be a good match as an AiMesh satellite?

If not, what would be a good (low cost) match?

Thank you.
