Omada app is used for configuring and managing your Omada devices. You can change settings, monitor the network status and manage clients, all from the convenience of a smart phone or tablet. STANDALONE MODE Standalone mode is designed for managing EAPs or wireless routers right away without having to spend time configuring a controller. Each device is managed separately. This mode is recommended for networks which only have a few EAPs (or wireless routers) and require only basic functions, such as home network. CONTROLLER MODE Controller mode works together with a software Omada Controller or a hardware Cloud Controller, and is suitable for managing multiple devices (including gateways, switches and EAPs) centrally. Controller mode allows you to configure and automatically synchronize unified settings to the devices in the network. Compared to Standalone Mode, more configuration options are available and supports to manage more devices in Controller mode. You can manage devices in Controller mode in two ways: via Local Access or Cloud Access. In Local Access mode, the Omada app can manage devices when the Controller and your mobile device are in the same subnet; in Cloud Access mode, the Omada app can access the Controller across the internet so you can manage your devices wherever you are. Compatibility List: The controller mode currently supports hardware cloud controllers (OC200 V1, OC300 V1), software Omada Controller v3.0.2 and above. (To experience more features support and more stable services, we recommend that you upgrade your controller to a new version). Standalone Mode currently supports the following models (with latest firmware): EAP245 (EU)/(US) V1 EAP225 (EU)/(US) V3/V2/V1 EAP115 (EU)/(US) V4/V2/V1 EAP110 (EU)/(US) V4/V2/V1 EAP225-Outdoor (EU)/(US) V1 EAP110-Outdoor (EU)/(US) V3/V1 EAP115-Wall (EU) V1 EAP225-Wall (EU) V2 ER706W (EU)/(US) V1/V1.6 ER706W-4G (EU)/(US) V1/V1.6 *The latest firmware is required and can be downloaded from https://www.tp-link.com/omada_compatibility_list.

Read full description

IppoShield is a powerful server monitoring and alerting app that ensures your critical systems stay online and your team is always informed. It continuously monitors physical, virtual, and cloud-based servers, sending high-priority notifications with longer alert sounds for selected services chosen by each user. Every service can also be set as low priority, receiving a standard mobile notification sound for less critical updates. IppoShield allows you to pause and resume services to control data flow without missing essential information, and Smart Mute lets you temporarily silence non-essential notifications while keeping important updates active. The app supports multi-organization management, enabling oversight of multiple organizations, departments, projects, and services in one place. With customizable user access control, admins can assign permissions at the service, project, or department level, ensuring flexibility and security. Designed for IT teams and organizations that need reliable monitoring, IppoShield combines real-time server alerts, service customization, and advanced organizational management to keep your operations running smoothly.
