Unit arrives with IP 192.168.0.1 which is annoying and makes plug and play integration not possible for many networks. The Omada Controller see’s the unit but cannot provision it. Once you change your terminal device to some IP like 192.168.0.X, you can log into 192.168.0.1 and change the router IP to be on your network. Not sure why they don’t just select 192.168.1.65 or some other random IP. Anyway, once I did that the router provisioned and I was in business. It’s faster than my older Edgemax 5 port, integrates really well, and has a bunch of other features. The full blown Omada control interface (not standalone mode, I have an Omada controller, a separate box that plugs into the network) takes some time to understand. Not a knock on Omada as there are many features and options for all devices. The way it all integrates is pretty powerful and easy to navigate after you ingest it all. The router stand alone UI is fine, too, if you just need a pretty fast and feature rich home router. So I have two wall mounted access points, a POE switch, an outdoor AP, and this router (all Omada). Adding the new router made a noticeable improvement to overall improvement and the system does seem to optimize very well. My only gripe is the initial setup could be a little more seamless for the router. Every other Omada I have integrated perfectly. I would also like it to be POE powered but that’s a “nice to have.” Some background if interested: I’ve been gradually moving my wifi system over to the Omada ecosystem. My first purchase was their wall mounted access point, which mounts in a junction box and has a couple Ethernet ports. Great product. After that experience to picked up an Omada POE switch to directly power the APs. Then I got an outdoor AP. AP Performance was (and is) great in a very challenging urban SF environment. There are so many wifi networks on my block. I was coming from a Google wifi which was ok at first but after more networks popped up or a SW update it would just grind to a 3Mbps halt. The Google isn’t flexible at all. With that said I know some people have great success with it in suburban environments. The Omada APs just work and it’s been great. The Omada controller box is also worth it. The whole system is a bit overkill for a residential system, but overkill is underrated and I have a bunch of cameras on switches spread all around. I tried Ubiquity but had some issues and didn’t like the cloud interface. I prefer the Omada interface and the Omada controller box isn’t hundreds of dollars. Hope this helps.

Our home is 4,000 sqft on two levels and the wifi distribution was built using an older Netgear wifi/router with a first generation Rockspace wifi mesh. As more smart devices, tablets, IOT's and such being added, the system really began to choke and just couldn't handle the load. That's when I decided to rebuild the topology using a standalone router and upgraded wifi mesh. There isn't a huge selection of standalone routers in the home networking category, and the selection came down between Ubiquity and TP-Link. I settled on the TP-link ER605 and am very pleased with the overall results, though it did come with pretty steep learning curve, due to its (in my opinion) confusing GUI interface. For instance: setting a DHCP address pool is hidden within a category called "Network List". All that is displayed is a Network Name "LAN", the IP address of the router, and a couple other parameters. You must select an edit icon to expand the display which will allow you to customize your LAN set up. It's subtle, and easy to miss if you don't understand the GUI design intention of the programmers at TP-Link. The MAC/IP Reservation controls are straightforward, but there is no obvious way to sort the list by IP or MAC address. I have nearly 70 devices hanging off my network, and not being able to sort the lists makes for a tedious effort when looking for a specific device. I contacted TP-Link support about this and told me that, no, you cannot sort the DHCP IP listing, but you can if you use their add-on OMADA Hardware Controller (at a cost of about $100), but I really don't want another layer of hardware or complexity to deal with. There are other quirks in the interface that slowed my setup time, only because I had to spend more time just to find where the specific option I was looking for is buried within the GUI. Now, anytime you migrate to a new topology, there will be a learning curve, but most of the quirks I ran up against could easily be addressed with a bit of effort on the GUI design. Things like Port Forwarding (Called "Virtual Servers" in the GUI), Dynamic DNS, and OpenVPN services are all there and are fairly straight-forward to set up. So, overall, this little modem has delivered everything I expected and need and this, coupled with the new wifi mesh system (Eero 6+ with 4 nodes with backhaul to the router) has dramatically improved our overall network and wifi service throughout the house. The ER605 modem has proven to be very well suited and is a fast and efficient workhorse of a router. With a bit of pain, effort, and patience to get through the learning curve of the interface, there will be only a few minor disappointments in the interface.

This TP-Link ER605 V2 is a great choice for techies—tons of options to tweak, but if you just need a fast, reliable wired router, it works flawlessly out of the box. I mainly got it for WireGuard VPN, and it hasn’t slowed down my connection at all. Setup was straightforward, and the load balancing & multi-WAN support is a nice bonus. Best part? If (when) your ISP decides that uninterrupted internet is too much to ask for (looking at you, Comcast), you can tether your phone via USB as a backup connection. Just plug it in, and boom—instant lifeline while the cable company plays “scheduled maintenance” roulette. If you need a powerful wired router with VPN support that won’t bottleneck your speeds and gives you a solid backup option, this one delivers. 🔥🚀🔌

I have been using this for more than a week, overall good product. Must but if you want to use with multiple internet connections in one network Pros: extremely easy user interface 5x gigabit ports WAN fail and load balancing Small form factor No need for omada contoller Setup and forget configurations Cons: don't use with omada contoller. Horrible placement of options. WAN connection polling time cannot be set in standalone mode Some settings require hard reboot to apply, auto soft reboot not reflecting the settings The order of WAN port number is reversed for working order, last WAN is default not the first one

no funciona el provisionamiento, se queda como confingurando y nunca termina de configurar

Worked fine

Great product

Excelente producto, si necesitas una VPN, y un balanceador de carga, y por si fuera poco tiene un firewall, muy buena eleccion
