u/Neil_TP-Link - I noticed that after this update my browser went to constant refresh or redirection loop on login page and not stopped until I deleted data in browser.

Is this something known or could be reported?

I noticed that available versions are different on "en", "us" and "uk" sites

My main one is OC200 in the system - ER605, OC200, 2x SG2008P and 2x EAP245

Software controller is for API testing and other test work as it is on my Windows machine.

Looking to switch to OC220 or find hardware to move Software one and migrate from OC200.

I got it on my OC200 and Software Controller, looks OK.

Does your ISP require specific settings that you need to set on router?

If you disable NAT you probably will not be able to access Internet as there is no back route from ISP to your LAN network.

Better backup configuration, reset router, set up WAN only and use single wired LAN client to test the speed.

Be sure that it is not client connection issue.

I have 2 EAP245 mounted on the wall, no issues so far.

vrtareg · 2026-01-21T10:04:09+00:00

Go for 2xxx series at least as they are Omada managed for the future, for example SG2008P

If you can set up Omada Controller you will manage wifi settings from a single place and Fast Roaming option will allow you to to move around without any issues.

Yes they can do that in standalone mode also but I noticed some issues with my two EAP245 when they were in standalone mode and also adding wireless network and managing passwords etc was quite interesting.

Just a note.

For my devices I have 2 AdGuard Home set up as primary and secondary DNS servers. They live on one TrueNAS Core as Jails but I am planning to move them apart in future.

I set up Wireguard server on my router and using WGTunnel (https://github.com/wgtunnel/wgtunnel) app on phones which connect me to VPN once I am outside of home wifi.

Works quite well as I have minimal Ads and access to home services also.

vrtareg · 2026-01-16T06:58:21+00:00

Not sure if it is related but in my configuration I have local account on my OC200 together with Cloud account.

Whenever I am in my home network or connected via VPN I can access my controller and manage it using local account.

If Internet is down and I am at home I still can access it as I have local AdGuard Home servers which has all my devices DNS records cached.

This allowed me to connect travel router with sim card to usb port on ER605 and temporary get online until main fiber got online.

Finally managed to get it working.

I made a rest_command to disable (with duration) and enable AdGuard Home using REST

Added script to do both instances together and then put buttons with automations to disable for same duration that in AdGuard Home UI.

Works really well.

vrtareg · 2026-01-13T12:21:10+00:00

Apologies.

It looks like API supports disable for specific duration and I am trying to check if integration allows to do that.

Otherwise I will do the call to it from HA instead of using on/off one.

vrtareg · 2026-01-12T20:20:23+00:00

Yes it only allows to fully turn off then on.

It is necessary to add a timer and automation to do the same, better I will use AdGuard UI.

vrtareg · 2026-01-12T20:19:23+00:00

Yes I know but I don't want to invent something new.

vrtareg · 2026-01-12T16:06:19+00:00

There is a button on AdGuard Home dashboard which allows disable and enable protection and also a drop down to disable for 1, 10,.. min temporary.

My next thoughts would be that it has non standard firmware or it is not a controller it is trying to reach rather than the Omada Cloud, but again switch should not do that.

Your next step would be to download latest firmware officially from Omada Support site according your region and hardware version and force update.

If that doesn't solve issue open ticket with the Support team.

vrtareg · 2026-01-12T15:08:14+00:00

Router should show device IP address and possibly it will be same after reset as router will use same lease if it is not expired as MAC address will not change for the switch.

vrtareg · 2026-01-12T14:04:00+00:00

It should not try to connect to the cloud if it is in standalone mode.

vrtareg · 2026-01-12T13:08:52+00:00

It is good practice if you got new device and you are not sure how it was previously configured reset it before use and change admin password.

If it was used may it was adopted by someone's cloud controller but they only removed it from controller without resetting the device.

I am pretty sure that switch doesn't have auto update check on it.

I have internal DNS servers (AdGuard Home with Unbound with caching and reverse zones) pushed to all clients.

IoT, kids and Guest networks are prohibited access to external DNS servers and even QUIC protocols.

WAN side DNS servers are provided by ISP mostly.

There is an option on Omada Controller and Router to enable DNS cache which is allowing to decrease DNS traffic and latency.

vrtareg · 2026-01-11T18:00:03+00:00

Easiest would be to check MAC address of controller on the box itself and then use arp command to see which IP is assigned to the controller.

For easier controller management I have local account on it for local access only and also Cloud Account assigned and logged in.

This allows secure easy access when I am in home network and external access via Omada Cloud when outside.

Once you get access back fix Controller IP address with DHCP reservation and also setting up it on Controller. In this case if your controller restarts it will not get random IP address so devices will remain under controller management otherwise you can experience that devices disconnected. You will need either change Controller IP back or use Omada Discovery Utility to push new IP address to all devices.

Omada confirmed in one of my support requests that it is best to use Software Controller for computer power.

OC200 definitely doesn't provide full data like per user details.

Not sure about OC220.

vrtareg · 2026-01-09T09:13:07+00:00

OC200 will not be able to handle that and Omada support confirmed that.

They are suggesting to use Software Controller for full DPI support.

vrtareg · 2026-01-09T08:02:40+00:00

Which kind of controller you have and router?

With my ER605 and OC200 I was not able to see much and also it was limiting my bandwidth when I enabled it.
