TP-Link ER605, Wired Gigabit VPN Router

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 int

This review is for the TP-Link ER605 V2 Wired Gigabit VPN Router B08QTXNWZ1I bought this router with only one thing in mind. Setting up VLANS. I have transitioned to a "Work from Home" position. I did not like seeing work equipment on my network or vice versa. My home router would separate WiFi with a guest option but some equipment was not wireless. Setting up VLANS wasn't too difficult but I had to do a to of research first so I knew what to expect going in. You will also need a managed switch capable of handling VLANS. I found a Netgear GS305E here on Amazon to work with the router. I may u

I made purchase of this item because my mikrotic got damage in a lightning storm. I could not get any LAN from however i had store this item in cart for a long time and have been watching itso finally it was baught. I had no doubt about if or not it would work having experience with TP-Link i felt 100% confident in their products.

I am using this load balance and failover for two isps. It has good speed when doing this however there are some odditiesIt supports 802.1q trunks and vlans but it is confusing when you set them up. You have to create additional "lans" that create the vlans as part of the setup automatically, you cant create vlans and associate to the SVIs like you would on any normal network device. If you create a vlan fist you cant create the SVI for it, If you create a "lan" and tell it to use a vlan it will create them both and work fine. Its confusing on the screen because it looks at first glance to jus

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, thoug

I spent a TON of money on this ER605 and an OC300, along with several switches (24pt and several 8pt units), a lot of WAPs and more based on the positive reviews here. Well the reviews must be padded or fabricated by the company (who apparently doesn't read and certainly doesn't respond to any of the reviews here) because this unit pretty much SUCKS. Latency is terrible, turning 14ms pings into 44-540ms on average. It regularly freezes, hiccups and otherwise requires reboots in the middle of the day, even though the logs show little to nothing in the way of problems and the ISPs attached remai

This product is marketed to small business needs, I am using it for a home router, and it works well for that but requires some technical aptitude.Our old WiFi 5 (802.11ac) system was dying. Big house, need at least two access points. Our access point died (would lose connectivity once a week, then once a day) and our combo router/access point was starting to have issues, so it was time to replace it.I went with TP-Link Omada specifically because I wanted affordable ceiling-mount access points that uplink (backhaul) over Ethernet and can be individually replaced/upgraded as needed, separate fr
