XS712t (v1) support of IEEE 1905.1

On sites for the TP-LINK BE85, for instance, people are reporting issues due to network looping, and with switches that don't support IEEE 1905.1. Apparently, the devices transmit discovery and communication packages to establish their backhaul, and if either fails to get through the backhaul cannot be initiated.

 

I've looked every I could, and I can't find a single reference to 1905.1 for the xs712t. Does anyone out there know if there is either implicit or explicit support for this?

Neither.

Simply incomptible to the big majority of business class netowrk devices, switches, ... an extremely bad idea this IEEE addtition is.

It's incompatible to virtully any industry standard networking products in the field, old or new, except these built for usage on 1905.1 networks.

Avoid buying these at any cost, unless you build  new network on a green field.

Unfortuntley, even big consumer device vendors (Google Nest, AVM, ...) have jumped on this s**t.

What for exactly you need these consumer Mesh systems (throw in and run)? Most likely thre is no need ....

Especially if you intend to operate a wired backhaul anyway?

Asking different: What do you expect from a Mesh system, or watching to much marketing?
