Does not really support EasyMesh satellite router mode

I bought this device as it claims supporting EasyMesh Satellite Router mode.
I planned to use it to extend the network from my internet provider's WiFi router, from another brand, which supports EasyMesh.
Unfortunately, I
had to return it because of these issues:
1) In mesh satellite router mode: Every time a computer connected via LAN is booted or shutdown, the WiFi signal is lost for a few seconds.
2) In mesh satellite router mode: Every time the C80 router is rebooted or after a power loss, it is necessary to re-do the EasyMesh pairing with main router (no automatic reconnection).
3) In mesh satellite router mode: The WiFi SSID and password of C80 router are the router's factory default (instead of the main router's ones) and cannot be changed.

I returned it and replaced it with the TP-Link RE900XD, which works perfectly although it is bulkier, more expensive and has only three LAN ports.

Contra

  • In mesh satellite mode, WiFi is down for 2 sec after a LAN device boots / shutdown
