First Look and Standalone Mode for the TP-Link Omada ER605 Router

Unboxing and taking a brief look at the TP-Link ER605. We also set it up in standalone mode but do not go into incredible detail about the setup. I will do a more detailed setup at a later date.

nice, first time viewer .. i skip ahead past all the formality b.s. to 2:37 time and the plug goes into a LAN port .. but what does the mouth-breather say? WAN port...

I plan on using it as a firewall between the cable modem to it, one port going to main cat 7+ patch panels, and other one going to WiFi router.

How do I connect er605 to an existing modem/router and used as a VPN router? Which port(LAN/WAN) from er605 goes to modem port?

[@SPXLabs]

You plug the modem into the first WAN port of the router. I have made several VPN videos, so I chose one at random. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpbIlnZooqaMZ6s

[@MatthewDuminy]

Can the WAN/LAN ports be set to the same LAN as the LAN port? In other words, can it be used as a 4 port switch so that there's no need to purchase a dedicated switch for small setups?

[@berniebernhardt1898]

Yes I believe so. Once you login, navigate to Network, and there are options to make additional LAN ports as well as port mirroring!

[@NgocLaMinh]

Yes, you can separate up to 4 differences VLAN base on 4 PORTS, then you can set bandwidth control for each ports to WAN (in my case: 1 for Personal no limitation, 1 for IoT with limit up to 20Mbps/each devices, 1 for Tenant with limit 150Mbps for all devices and 1 for Guest with 3Mpbs/guest )

Hello there. I need a router that has a port for a broadband internet cable (same small size as a phone cable connection) that I then have the ethernet cables that lead to my computer, tv etc. The switch router I bought had no port for the broadband cable input so I had to send it back.

So basically its a router without the wireless function? Can i connect this to my modem and then connect my computer and my roku to the tplink

[@SPXLabs]

Yup, it’s pretty common that businesses don’t use equipment that is a “all in one” package kind of thing in case the hardware fails. By splitting out the wireless and switching functions, the network will still work if the router fails. Although the internet may go down. Yes you can

[@krawsbreed1779]

[@kalijasin]

TL-R605 doesn't support Wan Aggregation.

[@pushingtechnologytothelimi7519]

May I give you a suggestion? When I do demo setups for my channel I always use admin for user name and password. Then for my personal setup I make it more advanced. That way you will not forget the password while you are recording. I got this router for an upgrade because the old TP-Link load balance router I have been using is not gigabit. Some things just do not work properly on a 100 mb anymore. For those that are reading this comment and looking at buying one. I have been using TP-Link since 2012 and now I have both wi-fi access points and routers. They have given me years of reliable service. If you need more bells and whistles you will need to spend more money.

[@SPXLabs]

Suggestions always welcome! I had considered doing admin admin but didn’t want to set some poor soul up with easy credentials that would leave them vulnerable. Lol also I’d probably forget the password anyway. What kinds of things don’t work?

[@orangeflow9809]

Does this router also work as a modem (or gateway, idk what its supposed to be called)? Can I plug this straight from the wall to this router then to my computer?

Is this router recommended to use in medium scale business environment? Maybe below 20 staff in the office.

[@eddie195777]

Excuse my ignorance, but what does standalone setup really mean? I am looking to connect my ethernet line from the router to my Smart TV to access the internet for streaming. Is a standalone setup what I need? Thanks.

[@SPXLabs]

It means you don’t need to buy all the Omada cloud hardware or use their cloud service

[@staaldak]

In laymans terms, standalone setup means you can configure the router via it's built in web interface found by typing its ip adress into the adress bar of any browser. Usually this router would be set up using a Tp-link OC200 network controller, which is a centralized way to set up this router along with other compatible Tp-link switches and access points to form a pretty decent home or small business network. You can set up a raspberry pi to act like an OC200, or a VMcontainer on a NAS, if you're into that kind of thing.

[@staaldak]

Yes you can do this fine with standalone mode. The chances are you can plug an ethernet cable into your tv and the routers and it will work without the need for any other configuration. The tricky part is if you want your tv to reside on a separate VLAN - virtual lan network - to the rest of your devices. There's tons of guides how to do that in both standalone mode or with an OC200/Cloud controller.

[@NgocLaMinh]

Standalone means you go to the router IP address, login and configure as all Wireless Router (except OMADA and DECO devices), not through any App or Cloud services

[@qwertyebable]

@@staaldak hi, could you please explain why a separate VLAN should be created for a TV?

I plug the Wan into my wall and the lan into my pc but it gives no connection. I can go to the IP address and set it up. Help?

[@SPXLabs]

Wan port needs to be connected to your ISPs modem/router/gateway and that device will assign an IP address to the tp link router. Other wise unplug from the wall plug your pc into the tp link router and navigate to the default IP address of the router to do whatever you need to do. Then set it up for WAN access. If that doesn’t work call your ISP for help. If that still doesn’t work try to find a local friend who is tech savvy and can hopefully figure it out.

[@BCAE]

@@SPXLabs Thank you so much for your response. I unfortunately am not that tech savvy, always find it unfortunate that I did not choose IT as a speciality :) I know that my modem is in my meter closet so I really do not understand why it does not connect. Really frustrating. I will contact TP-LINK directly and see if they can help me out~! Thanks still though!

Sounds like your modem doesn’t have DHCP on. Which is fine. You need to preconfigure your er605.

can i just buy and use this router not from the company internet or i haveto ask them first ?

[@Good_Enough4]

You should be able to just plug into the WAN port from your modem (from your internet company or a modem that is compatible with your ISP). This just "routes" the internet to where it's being asked to go. Keep in mind this specific router is *not* a WIFI router, so you'll need a separate access point or WIFI router connected to the LAN port on this router.
