Multi-WAN Gigabit VPN Router with Omada SDN；The product is multiple voltage compatible, that voltage arrange is 100-240V.

Review: Reliable, Stable, and Feature-Rich Networking Gear - Before switching to the TP-Link ER605 V2, I was restarting my cable company’s modem/router combo once or twice a week due to constant dropouts and poor Wi-Fi performance. Since installing the ER605 and putting the modem in bridge mode, it has been running flawlessly for over 3 years—the only reboot I’ve done was after making configuration changes myself. At home, I use the ER605 with a TP-Link EAP610 for Wi-Fi, managed via the OC200 controller. At another property I manage, it’s paired with a TP-Link EAP225, controlled through the Omada software running on Proxmox. The entire Omada ecosystem—covering load balancing, firewall, VPN, and network management—is stable, intuitive, and enterprise-grade yet budget-friendly. If you need more ports with VLAN control and Omada integration, the TP-Link TL-SG2008 is an excellent choice. This smart managed PoE-in switch supports VLANs, L2/L3/L4 QoS, static routing, IGMP snooping, and link aggregation. It integrates seamlessly with the ER605 and is perfect for home labs or small business networks requiring flexibility and control. If you don’t need advanced management features, the TP-Link TL-SG108 is a simple, plug-and-play option. It’s unmanaged, fanless, built tough, and just works right out of the box—ideal for quickly expanding your wired network without fuss.
Review: Supports redundant WAN (ISP Uplink) and basic VLAN - 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 from the router. I wanted Omada because of the ease of administration of everything through a single interface. The ER605v2 is the least expensive TPLink Omada based router I could find and I like the fact that it offers the ability to connect to two separate WAN uplinks for redundancy. It does have a stand-alone configuration interface but I'm using an Omada hardware controller to configure it. It's boot time is longer than I would like but since the initial setup I have not had to reboot it. I do recommend a UPS so that it doesn't need to be booted after a power failure. The Omada controller interface can be somewhat confusing to understand but once you have it doing what you want it to do, it just works. I get the full gigabit download/upload my ISP offers. For a router without built-in WiFi, this is an excellent option *especially* if you plan to use Access Points controlled by an Omada controller. I was able to do some basic VLAN configuration (e.g. separating IoT devices from main LAN) with it despite not having any L3 switches on my network, but for some VLAN capabilities apparently you need one model up (ER7206). It works well. I have not (yet) tried the VPN features.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I am interested in a router that would provide failover function only without load balancing. Can this device provide that capability?**
A: With Link Backup function, the router will switch all the new sessions from dropped lines automatically to another to keep an always on-line network. Choose the menu Transmission > Load Balancing > Link Backup and click Add. 

Then, specify the primary WAN port, the backup WAN port, and whether you would prefer to use the "Timing" or "Failover" configuration.

Timing: Link Backup will be enabled if the specified effective time is reached. All the traffic on the primary WAN will switch to the backup WAN at the beginning of the effective time; the traffic on the backup WAN will switch to the primary WAN at the ending of the effective time.

Failover (Enable backup link when any primary WANs fails): Link Backup will be enabled when any primary WANs fails.

Failover (Enable backup link when all primary WANs fail): Link Backup will be enabled only when all primary WANs fail.

**Q: Home user looking for gigabit speed with load balancing and failover support, plus will this truly handle gigabit speed? Will this work for me?**
A: Yes, the TL-R605 supports WAN failover and is designed for Gigabit Ethernet networking. For more specific performance metrics, please see below:

**Q: Could the tl-r605 replace my oc200?  i'm getting rid of my rented router and i'm trying to find a suitable replacement.  i have the oc200 and 2 aps.**
A: Hi! The TL-R605 is a router; whereas the OC200 is a controller. The OC200 is not equipped with with NAT and/or firewall to translate WAN/LAN addresses. If you would like the functionality of the OC200 while also supporting Omada SDN features of the TL-R605, a combination of the TL-R605 and OC200 is recommended.

**Q: What is the max throughput on the vpn between two of these? spec has 40mbps in vpn section. is that it?**

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Fast & The Firewall: Backup Plan for When Comcast Strikes And Secure VPN
*by C***Y on March 11, 2025*

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. 🔥🚀🔌
