Review on πŸ”’ TP-Link ER7206: Ultimate Multi-WAN Gigabit VPN Router with Enhanced Network Capacity by Eddy Borghesi

Revainrating 5 out of 5

No, I don't beta test my network solutions

My Omada solution stack (all TP-Link): Controller: OC200PoE Switch: TL-SG2210MPRouter: TL-ER7206AP1: EAP620 HDAP2: EAP235 - Wall I really I wanted to like it, great clean hardware and cabling options, but the Omada SDN software just isn't ready for prime time use. Basic network functions are missing, such as: - Allowing (dynamically) set up one-way connections between VLANs. . Their solution is to set up static routes, which is terrible for IoT. Static DHCP assignments. Their solution is to set a static IP address on the host - an administrative nightmare. For a business-class solution, the lack of these features is ridiculous. They haven't even progressed that far yet. For my purposes, Omada currently only has the ability to set up VLANs compared to a basic home router. However, the bugs were killer: - I updated the switch firmware that was released after the 4.3.5 controller update and I couldn't regain control of the switch. Even after resetting the switch and turning off the power. I had to reboot the controller and reconfigure the switch to regain control of it. Of course, I lost all my settings in the process, which is completely unacceptable for a business-class solution. After that, Omada SDN failed to redeploy my EAPs. Even after restarting and toggling the technology, I see a message that the firewall settings are not available. I think it's fixable, but I don't care anymore.

Pros
  • Limited Lifetime Warranty
Cons
  • Not sure
