Limited functionality and NO LANDSCAPE mode!

This app has so many potentials but has very limited functionality vs the Web version.
Also it is missing LANDSCAPE MODE for iPad. Although it has limited functionalities, by adding a LANDSCAPE MODE I will give it more starts

Features Missing

On older versions, as far as I remember, you used to be able to change a schedule for any SSID you wanted to. Now with the recent update you can no longer update Wi-Fi schedules or pause Wi-Fi SSIDS through the iOS app. You have to do it through the web based console. Please bring those features back.

Awesome overall but needs work

Bought the Omada system a few days ago, ER605 router, OC200 controller, and SG2218 switch. I played around with the ER605 in standalone mode for a couple of days and there's a lot of awesome features packed into it. However, a lot of those features are missing in the Omada control panel/GUI. For example, ARP Spoofing Defense, Flow Control, manual Duplex selection on the gigabit ports, WAN Failover Ping and DNS Query settings, and several others. There's also a slight issue with bandwidth for those getting full gigabit speeds from their ISP. My previous gaming wireless router easily gave us 940Mbps peak over Ethernet. The Omada system, however, only allows up to 700-800Mbps peak. If I remove the OC200 controller and just use the ER605 in standalone mode, I can disable ARP Spoofing Defense, enable Flow Control on the WAN, and we get the speeds we should be getting. We're not the only Omada users experiencing this issue. Additionally, the Omada GUI through a web browser is not optimized for tablets and super clunky. It will randomly scroll when you're trying to do something, hint buttons pop up and then disappear within a split second so you can't read anything, the overall aspect ratio doesn't fit iPad and crops out content, and so on.

Overall, TP-Link Omada is potentially a formidable competitor to UniFi. However, these bugs, lack of features, and bandwidth issues need to be ironed out. I believe they can be.

Pretty Solid

Everything works pretty smooth obviously it lacks more management tools as far as configurations for each access point, of course the web based version is more advanced but if they keep adding features from the web based it’ll be perfect, tremendous customer support

Doesn’t work

Says it’s connected to the EAP WAN but then below that says you must connect to the EAP WAN

Fast and simple

I just set up my 3 access points and OC 200 controller in less than 30 minutes for my RV park. This system is so easy. I previously set up a ubiquiti unifi system that took day s to figure out. I am sold.

Where’s the 2FA support?

When trying to log into the cloud controller it states I need to update to the new version of the app but there doesn’t seem to be an updated version. When will this be available please? Thanks!

Missing 2FA support

This app used to be quite good enabling the discovery and adoption of EAP’s as well as basic management of the controller. But with the latest update to the cloud controller interface and the addition of 2FA this app needs to be updated ASAP. The app fails to login and advises you that the account has 2FA, then advises you to download the updated app (which doesn’t exist) and to disable 2FA (which doesn’t make sense). Please update the app to include 2FA.

Be nice is it worked with 2FA

Would be nice if it was updated to work with two factor authentication.

Decent products totally let down by pathetic device control software

I have no idea why this doesn’t work with the TL-R605 security gateway.

The device is good but let down by the very poor integration of control. The only way to control locally is web based because of zero support for Mac’s.

Very short sighted in 2021. Come on TP-Link. I thought that you actually wanted to be a competitive brand and not just a low cost clone hardware company. Guess not.
