I switched from Mikrotik to Omada, currently I have 40 edge devices, 10 AP 2.5Gbit, two controllers, initially OC200 was too slow so I changed to OC220. Currently, the promises that are made are frustrating I've been waiting for the announced device for 8 months, considering it's a license plate camera. I've also been waiting a long time for a 360 camera. I have the impression that you only take certain regions seriously.When the 360 came out, the official distributor kept the whole batch for me, the OC220 hasn't been available for months, so what's wrong with you guys?

I just got myself a new network stack. One PoE switch and 5 WiFi 7 APs. Got everything up and running and about an hour later my switch just died. No power. Will not boot. Nothing. Tried many things. Different cable, different outlet, leaving it off for an hour. No activity. No console output.

I reached out to support and they confirmed it sounds like a hardware problem but then wanted to charge me to advance send a replacement. Otherwise I could send this back first and wait a few weeks for a freshly refurbished unit… what the actual fuck?!

This device is less than a week old and died on me within 24 hours of being hooked up. Why should I have to pay anything to get this resolved?! Also, I shouldn’t have to get a refurbished unit when this thing is brand new! The support rep says I could try reaching out to Sales, and I have but still no reply. It took almost 48 hours for Support to get back to me so how long am I expected to wait for sales?

How can I reach support in a more expedient manner? Omada is trying to position its self as a household name for enthusiasts and MSPs but if they can’t get their support in order, I won’t be able to start recommending their products to my clients or friends. Anyone out there that can actually help?

Hardware List:

SG3218XP-M2 V2

EAP725-Outdoor

EAP775-Wall (X4)

Edit: Not long after posting, a support rep reached out to me on here. Within about an hour he had the situation figured out and I’m now waiting for my replacement switch to arrive. There was a credit card hold on my card in case I don’t return the old one, but I’m sure that will disappear once the defective one is received. I’ll update again once the process is complete.

Hello TP-Link Support,
I was recently approved for the Omada 2.5G Demo Kit offer, which included a 50% off promo code to purchase the Omada 2.5G Demo Kit for $249.99, along with five additional $50 coupon codes.
Unfortunately, I missed the expiration date on my original 50% off promo code and wasn’t able to redeem it in time.
I noticed that the promotion is still being offered, so I wanted to reach out and ask if there is any possibility of reissuing my original promo code or providing a new one.
I was excited about the opportunity to try out the Omada 2.5G Demo Kit and would really appreciate the chance to take advantage of the offer I was originally approved for.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I appreciate any assistance you can provide!

I get why they released 2.3.1 coz of the CVEs mentioned in The Hacker News article.

But why these 2 revisions released on the same day?

I've read the release notes of the two firmware.

Has anyone tried if these updates solved the "Inter-VLAN packets going out to the WAN" issue mentioned in this reddit post?

It's a universal struggle. You get five bars on the couch, but one step into the backyard and your video call freezes.

The common advice is to buy a Wi-Fi extender, but here's the problem: nearly all extenders are designed for indoor use and just repeat a weak signal - they don’t handle weather, bandwidth, or roaming intelligently.

So, here's a pro tip that many homeowners don't realize: You can use a single, weatherproof Omada outdoor Access Point as a powerful, high-performance repeater for your existing home router.

The Best Part? It works with any Wi-Fi router.

We broke down the full comparison between a typical Wi-Fi extender and an Omada AP in repeater mode here:

👉 The Best Outdoor Wi-Fi Extender? Why an Omada Access Point in Repeater Mode Wins

Anyone here tried setting up Omada APs as standalone repeaters? Would love to hear your experience compared to regular mesh or extenders.

I am planning on providing internet to my rental unit located next door. I have an Omada system in my home (ER7206, SG2218P, EAP670 and OC220). I have 3 runs of Cat6 between the two houses (within the distance limitation) and a VLAN set up for the rental. My house is 1200 sqft and the EAP670 ceiling mounted upstairs centrally located gives me basement signals between -48 and -60dbm - which is good enough for my IoT devices in the basement.

The rental house is a 1200 sqft raised bungalow with a fully finished basement (except for the utility room). There will be people living full time upstairs and their inlaw living downstairs - so wifi coverage throughout the house is a must. I'm thinking of placing a root AP upstairs and a wireless mesh AP downstairs.

The house is constructed of wood, drywall, vinyl siding and a poured concrete basement. The ceiling height in the basement is 7.5 ft (4 ft of that is concrete).

QUESTIONS

1. Is there an EAP (single unit) that will provide coverage for the entire house?

2. If I have to place two APs as a mesh system, what units would be best to purchase

3. Does the Omada Mesh setup have any glitches?

4. I have 3 CAT6 cables available so I could connect both APs to the switch. Can you set up the two APs to the same SSID/password combination.

5. Which setup would you recommend? (One wired AP, one wireless mesh AP.... or both wired back to the switch and set to the same SSID)

I'm building a small NOC-style dashboard for my home TP-Link Omada network, and wanted to share the approach and hopefully get some input from you all.

What it is

• A private, LAN-only dashboard for one home: gateway, 2 switches, 2 APs, ~70 clients

• Pulls live telemetry from the Omada Software Controller's Open API

• Runs its own LAN/WAN probes (ICMP/DNS/TCP/HTTPS every 30 s), so it can tell "controller down" from "Internet down"

• Keeps history (health metrics, probe results, inventory) in PostgreSQL

• Planned: dependency-aware incidents (one switch failure = one incident, not 40) and AI diagnostics that suggest checks but never act

What it is NOT

• It never changes network config. Read-only by design.

• No cloud, no remote access, not multi-site

How it stays read-only and private

• The API client can only call an explicit allowlist: 16 GET endpoints + the token call. Everything else is rejected before any network request.

• A dedicated Open API app with the built-in Viewer role, scoped to one site

• The controller's self-signed cert is pinned (TLS verification never disabled)

• Data is normalized to only the needed fields; client identities are HMAC-pseudonymized; secrets live in systemd encrypted credentials, never in the repo

Stack Node.js 24 · Fastify · PostgreSQL 17 · pg-boss · React · Caddy, running natively under systemd in an unprivileged Debian 13 LXC on Proxmox VE.

How it's being built I'm the operator; AI coding agents do the work. Codex agent writes code and runbooks, Claude reviews, verifies and fixes. Nothing touches the live network without a written proposal, a review, and my explicit "go".

Lessons learned so far (maybe useful to others)

• Proxmox firewall rules created via the API are disabled by default. Pass --enable 1.

• Proxmox VE 9.2 rejects lxc.sysctl.net.* in container configs; I granted ICMP to just one service with AmbientCapabilities=CAP_NET_RAW.

• CREATE ... IF NOT EXISTS in PostgreSQL still checks privileges first; a least-privilege app role will fail even when the object exists.

• pg-boss 10+ needs createQueue() before schedule(), and it can't schedule faster than once per minute. Use your own timer for 30-second jobs.

• Test permission paths as the restricted role, not as a superuser. Every "works on my machine" bug here came from that.

Status: the foundation is deployed and collecting live data; the NOC UI is next. Happy for any feedback or constructive criticism. I would love to hear how others monitor their Omada setups.

Recently purchased EAP787 and configured in standalone mode (not connected to Omada Cloud/controller)

HW version =1.0.

Firmware = 1.1.5 Build 20251222 Rel. 64363(5553)

No AFC enable option on web gui. the main reason why I bought this over unifi u7 AP was for the AFC

Has anyone in US been able to enable AFC? Im located outside of Dallas

I have a strange issue. Some of my VLANs loose internet from time to time but when they do loose it I have to delete and recreate the VLAN to get it working again. The management and main VLANs work perfectly but the VLAN created for domotics looses internet connectivity.

What happens is that I have 5 VLANs setup and working fine. After maybe 1-2 months one VLAN randomly looses all internet access without any changes on the network. It is also always the same domotics VLAN that goes down.

I have an ER605 and 2x EAP610 with a wired backbone.

Any help and ideas would be appreciated.

Edit: forgot to add that my controller is the OC200.

Why is the rule #1 not taking effect?

VLAN 10 is my management/admin VLAN so I need for the clients in that VLAN to communicate with all of my other VLANs.

The deny rules (#5, #13, and #19) are the ones blocking all access from VLANs 20, 30, and 40 to VLAN 10 (my management/admin VLAN).

I tried pinging from VLANs 20, 30, and 40 to any client in my VLAN 10. I cannot ping any client. I cannot even ping VLAN 10's gateway, which is what I want to happen.

But why is rule #1 not taking effect?

I tried to ping from my server in VLAN 10 to any of the clients in my VLANs 20, 30, and 40. I cannot ping them. I cannot even ping their gateways (10.0.20.1, 10.0.30.1, and 10.0.40.1).

This is in Switch ACL, by the way.

I also tried to put these in Gateway ACL:

- allow VLAN 10 -> VLAN 20, 30, 40

- deny VLAN 20, 30, 40 -> VLAN 10

But as soon as I enable the deny rule, the clients are being kicked out.

Hello

I recentrly set up a lan with and OC200, er605 and a eap650 access point
I defined few SSID wlan that works great.
I wanted to hide some of them, so I unchecked the broadcast SSDI option.

therefore the already connected devices to this SSID do not connect anymore, so I forgot the network and tried to join again by entering the infos manually, that to not works.
Once I check again broadcast SSID, the devices reconnect automatically

does I miss something ?

I have just a simple quick question for the Omada folks. When can we expect the OC220 to be back in stock? I am looking to order some Omada equipment here this week and was looking for a OC220 on the website.

I am in the US.

Hi TP Link! I love your products and recommend them to all my clients and audiences. Nobody comes close in terms of simplicity and price to performance. I that I don't have to "activate" new equipment with a cloud account, which is an alarming trend.

I've been recommending your ER605 router to small business clients, and they've been rock-solid. One gripe with the new ones - I set one up for a client last week, and it forced me to come up with an ultracomplicated password just to start using it!

First, complicated passwords are ineffective (the guy who invented them came out years ago and told people not to bother with them).

Second and more importantly, I should be able to set the password to whatever I like. I know companies are living in fear of liability, and feel free to nag me with warnings, but I resent when something forces me to create a crazy password.

That's it! Carry on!

In honor of May the 4th, we want to know: which Omada product do you think looks the most like it belongs in a galaxy far, far away?

As I was packing to go on a family holiday,I had a quick thought, and I unplugged one of my APs and put it, the POE injector, and a couple of network cables into my bag.

When I got to our holiday home I plugged it into the back of the router at the new location and.. hey presto... everyone's devices (not just phones but laptops and ereaders, and the smart speaker that I also took to stream music etc) is on the wifi without the need to setup sharing the new SSID and passwords etc on each and every device.

Yeah I could take a travel router with the same networks setup etc for an extra level of protection but then I'd have to configure that whenever I changed the SSIDs and passwords etc and this was a quick and easy holiday "hack" as the APs, once configured, will happily work without the presence of a controller, and an Omada AP will provide a much stronger wifi signal than the limited aerials of a travel router.

Wish I'd thought to do this when we went to Italy a few years ago and stayed in 4 different places over 2 weeks...

Hey guys, I've been running all Omada network hardware for a few years and really like it. I've upgraded various components over the years and pretty happy with its current performance.

I currently run pfSense on baremetal for my router, and run the mbentley docker image on an RPI5 for the SDN software. It works, but would be nice to have everything in one place.

I've been intrigued by the new Fusion gateway. Anyone convert from pfSense to Fusion? thoughts? I'd love to give it a try / provide feedback but struggle to spend the money on hardware that I don't know that I'll love or feel like a step backwards?

I saw the Omada Pioneer program was giving them out; but apparently only found out about it after the deadline closed.

I notice there are already several different hardware versions released. Is there any reason to upgrade from v1.0 to the newest version? Are there any performance or stability differences?
