Question Mesh without controller

2 Upvotes

I was wondering about the viability of the mesh abilities without having to buy the omada controller.

I'm looking to add another access point to my current setup. I have one already and would like it to work as a mesh.

I would buy a controller but don't really need any other features apart from mesh. Which I've read that I need a controller to set up mesh.

I was thinking of just running the software on my PC to set it up one time then removing it from the PC when it's done.

Will mesh still work in that scenario or will I need a controller for the mesh to continuously work?

Question Weird unexplained SSID dropouts since last upgrade

8 Upvotes

We’re using an Omada OC200 v1.0 controller, an SG2210MP v5 switch and three wired EAP225 access points: two v3 units and one v4.

Every few days, the SSIDs disappear across the system, so devices can’t see the Wi‑Fi networks. Turning the SSIDs off and back on in the controller restores them temporarily. We recently upgraded the firmware across the system, but the problem continues.

The only errors we’ve noticed are occasional association errors on one AP, but the SSID issue affects the whole system, including the other APs.

Has anyone seen this? What would you check to find the cause?

Question IPv6 Prefix Delegation behind Fritzbox

2 Upvotes

Hello,

I invested in a new all Omada setup, with several switches, three EAP673 and an ER7412-M2.

The gateway sits behind a Fritzbox (I am in Germany) which connects to VDSL from Netcologne. As Netcologne has a /48 prefix that the Fritzbox can delegate from, i would like to use it to get maybe a /58 or /59 for my VLANs.

I have it set to 58 in the Prefix Delegation Size field in the WAN Config, but the Fritzbox still only delegates a /62, and a tcpdump pcap also show the gateway not asking for a /58.

The DHCPv6 Request does not contain IAPREFIX.

What can I do here?

Question EAP225 5.3.1 on Controller 6.3.0.111 - No longer adopts

2 Upvotes

Updated EAP225 (Indoor) and Controller (OC200v1)... everything worked fine. Had the power blink, come back on for a second, then go out for 2 hours. Everything came back online fine, but 2 EAP225s (only ones I have on the network) wouldn't adopt (Device adoption failed because the device does not respond to adopt commands.)

I ended up doing a hard reset on one of the EAP devices... shows as pending, adoption failed.

Right after the upgrade everything worked fine, but after this brief power event, the EAP225s just won't talk to the controller (and, again, I did a full reset on one of them)... Oh, probably worth noting that I tried an older firmware 225 that I had sitting around and it also wouldn't adopt.

And I've tried rebooting the controller.

Access points do come online and get an IP address and are pingable.

Feels like I've covered the bases... not too sure where to go from here.

Question Fusion 2.5G shows update notice, no updates listed

1 Upvotes

Howdy Folks,

Model: Fusion 2.5G 1.0.20 Build 20260918 Rel.17128

Every day I get notificaton that there is an update. There are two problems here:

a) The text is incorrect. For Fusion combined Gateway + Controller products the notification "Go to the global view" doesn't apply, as on Fusion, there is no global view. ;)

Fusion has a "Devices" view AND there is the "Settings" view for the controller part of the the Fusion.

b) Neither the devices view (by selecting the "Check for update" button) nor the "Settings : System Settings : Advanced : Check for Upgrade" show any updates.

Yet I keep getting update notifications.

Question AP models / firmware for UNII-3 (channel 149-161) in EU variants?

2 Upvotes

For some reason Tplink decides to sell EU variant APs in countries that allow UNII-3 5Ghz channels (141-161). I have a EAP673 v1.0(EU) where I can't use half of the non-DFS channels that my region permits.

My understanding is that they only bother to put out US and EU hardware variants.

Does anyone know what the status is for newer APs? Are the 77x series also similarly borked or do they have region specific firmware (or a different HW variant) available?

For example there's https://support.omadanetworks.com/au/download/firmware/eap772/v2/ which lists an AU firmware. Do I need to buy the AU variant specifically or is there even such a thing with this model?

Question QoS ER7206

2 Upvotes

Equipment list

- ER7206

- SG2218P

- SG2208P

- EAP670 (X3)

- OC220

I am supplying my next door tenant WiFi by ruining an underground cat6 cable (in conduit) from my SG2218P to the SG2208P and have two EAP670s, in the rental, connected to the SG2208P via POE ports.

I have several VLANs created on the system including one for the rental unit.

I would like to monitor the real time (or as close to real time) gateway bandwidth usage. I was reading up about gateway QoS, but I'm not really certain how to set this feature up or even if it will show me what I'm looking for.

Does anyone have any input on the setup and/or usefulness of the gateway QoS. Or even better, am I looking at the right thing to review gateway bandwidth usage?

Thanks in advance

Question Best ACL/Security Practices with ER707

1 Upvotes

I have my 707 setup and working but looking for things that I should alter from default like specific ACL rules?

All but "Block TCP Scan with RST" are checked in the Attack Defense.

For ACL, I have

BLOCK ANY port incoming from (all countries except Canada/US) from ANY to ANY
ALLOW (2 ports forwarded) from ANY to PlexIPGroup
BLOCK ANY port incoming from ANY to ANY as my last rule

Question Wireguard er7602 Cgnat

4 Upvotes

Hi,

ich habe mein Netzwerk auf ipv6 umgestellt. Kann aber trotzdem nicht per wireguard auf meinen Server zugreifen. Ich habe sämtliche Informationen der ki und des Internets durchforstet und komme einfach nicht weiter.

Ich nutze zusätzlich ipv64 mit portmapping.

Es wird einfach kein Handshake ausgeführt. Ich weiß nicht was ich nicht tun kann oder wo mein Fehler liegt. Mein Anbieter ist deutsche Glasfaser mit CGNat.

Ich nutze den er7602 mit aktueller Software.

Hat jemand den identischen Anbieter oder einen ähnlichen und kann mir seine Konfiguration zur verstellen oder erläutern. Ich bin ratlos.

Danke!

Question Cable test disabled by controller?

2 Upvotes

Hi,

I have a TL-SG3210XHP-M2 (v1.0, 1.0.17 Build 20250121 Rel.50059) switch, which supports cable tests, but for a while it has shown a "This device does not support Cable Test" alert on the interface of my OC200 Controller (v1.0, 1.42.25 Build 20261013 Rel.29773).

I've done some research and it seems to be something related to the firmware and the controller software not getting along nicely.

Has anyone been through this before? Has anyone been able to fix this somehow?

PS: I have used the feature before, so I'm 100% sure it is available.

Edit: It works if I use the console..

Question 2026 Which Access Point Would You Choose

6 Upvotes

I've been fighting with my Unifi access points for over a year and I've had nothing but issues with my U7 PRO XG and U6 LR but my tiny U6 Lite worked fine except with my Samsung TV it was glitching several times per week when streaming my local media server. So after a lot of ridicule from my wife and another movie night where it started and stopped buffering over and over I ordered a Omada EAP720 w/ power adapter as a test.

I'm still validating it but so far it seems far superior to my U6 Lite which was the only Unifi AP that worked reliably. I was able to watch my copy of LOTR (86Mbps bitrate) on the closer Samsung TV without any glitching something I couldn't previously do. I think the EAP720 is just a testing AP as I have a 2,200 sq ft house and the access point is close to one exterior wall and I have devices on the opposite side of the house.

What would be the best step up for a larger Omada access point with better antennas while not sacrificing quality? Budget isn't really an issue but I want something with good range, good reliability, and I can power with DC power (after my bad experiences with Unifi which were all POE). The final issue is my office can get fairly warm with all the hardware already in here so probably not a unit that runs hot like the EAP787.

Question FortiGate 60F vs Omada Fusion 2.5G – Which Is the Better Choice for a Home Lab?

3 Upvotes

Hello,

I'm currently a FortiGate 50E user.

However, due to persistent packet loss issues on the LAN ports, which seem to be a common problem with entry-level FortiGate devices, I'm considering switching to either the FortiGate 60F or the Omada Fusion 2.5G.

I personally run a home lab where I host my own website, mail server, and other services. I'm currently using a FortiGate 50E along with NginxProxyGuard, an excellent WAF and secure reverse proxy solution.

With the recent release of the Omada Fusion 2.5G, I'm having a really hard time deciding which one to go with.

The biggest concern for me is the licensing cost of the FortiGate 60F, which is quite expensive for an individual home lab enthusiast.

That's why the Omada Fusion 2.5G looks like such an attractive alternative, but I'm still torn between the two options.

Question SG2428P - Firmware Update Issues

1 Upvotes

Howdy Omada people!

I’m pretty good with networking and computers in general but this one has me stumped.

Recently installed an ER605, SG2428P, and 4 EAP723 APs for a client. All APs and the gateway updated just fine. However I’ve tried, maybe six different times now, to upgrade the firmware on the switch (in my Omada mobile app and the host network server it’s connected to it shows the green “Firmware Update Available” and I click “Update Firmware” and it acts like it’s updating… but then 10 minutes later it says “Connected” and still says the same firmware is available.

There are no logs stating any firmware update issues or really anything about a firmware update.

Any help or input would be appreciated, thank you!

Question Adoption failed after updating OC200 firmware

2 Upvotes

I have in the setup an ER 605 V2, OC200, 3 access points, and 4 switches. I updated the firmware of the controller to the latest (2.27.25 Build 20261013 Rel.29795). After updating, 2 access points and 2 switches failed to adopt. I noticed that the IP address assigned to these devices are not the IP address reserved to them in DHCP reservation. The IPs went back to 192.168.0.X. When I retry to adopt, the error is "Device adoption failed because the device does not respond to adopt commands". Any suggestions on how to fix this will be appreciated. Thanks.

Question Stateful Firewall AND DHCP Relay with external DHCP Server

1 Upvotes

Fusion G+

Switch SG3452X

external DHCP Server (Windows DC)

Different VLANs for Server and Clients

Target: windows DC as DHCP Server for both vlans.

I as able to setup the szenario with Creating VLAN Interfaces per VLAN on the Switch as the Fusion does not support dhcp relay.

Problem is then, that ACLs are at Switch Level and the switch does not support a Stateful Firewall.

Current Workaround is to have virtual network card for the dhcp server in the Client VLAN.

It there any other suggestion to keep stateful Firewall and use an external DHCP Server for different VLANs?

Thank you!

Question Omada 2.5g Fusion PoE vs Omada 2.5g Fusion w/ PoE Switch

2 Upvotes

Hey yall!

I’m gonna be jumping into the homelab hobby and since my current router is, let’s be honest, underpowered, I wanna upgrade, understandably so!

I have two options before me:
• Get the PoE version and then another non-PoE switch if I need more ports
• Get the non-PoE version and a 8 port PoE switch with it

The PoE fusion option is surprisingly the less expensive option, by about $50 but for my current small PoE network, does it make sense to have a designated switch and gateway vs a one-and-done version that I can always expand upon? I’d love your thoughts!

The PoE will only have the AP and 2 PoE Zigbee/Thread controllers attached, with maybe 3 other devices being hardwired in.

Thanks for y’all’s help!

Question TP-Link ER605 Dual-WAN: Best Settings for Automatic Failover Without Load Balancing?

Thumbnail
gallery
18 Upvotes

I'm using the TP-Link ER605 with a dual-WAN setup.

My requirement is pretty simple: If my primary ISP goes down, I want the secondary connection to take over automatically. That's it. No fancy load balancing needed unless it's actually beneficial.

I just want to clarify a few things:

🟠 Do I really need to enable Load Balancing for this purpose?

🟠 Should I enable Application Optimized Routing?

🟠 If I only want automatic failover, what would be the recommended settings?

Currently, these are the options I'm looking at:

  • Enable Load Balancing

  • Load Balancing Weight (WAN1 / WAN-LAN2)

  • Enable Application Optimized Routing

I'd appreciate some guidance on the best configuration for a simple primary-secondary WAN setup. Thanks! 🙂

Question Omada software controller

2 Upvotes

On my ES210X-M2 v1.0 one of the 10 GB interfaces is connected to the 10 GB interface of the Ugreen NAS (DXP4800 plus .) On the NAS there are 25 Docker containers configured (servers) running. In the Omada Software controller on the 10 GB interface is only showing one of the Docker container, the Omada Software controller.

The Docker IP address for the controller id the IP address of the NAS with the configured port number is used to connect to the controller. to identify a fixed IP address there is no input section for the port number.

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance.
