TP-Link Omada Gigabit VPN Router

TP-Link Omada Gigabit VPN Router (ER605) - 5 Years Local Warranty

The ER605 is the entry point to Omada's gateway line: five Gigabit ports, three of them WAN/LAN configurable, in a 158 mm case drawing under a watt of standby. It is the right gateway for a small office, a retail unit or a branch that needs VPN and multi-WAN failover rather than deep packet inspection — the ER7206 is the step up when session count or inspection throughput matters.

Five Gigabit Ports With Three Configurable as WAN

The ER605 provides 1 fixed Gigabit WAN port, 1 fixed Gigabit LAN port and 3 changeable Gigabit WAN/LAN ports. That layout is the reason small sites choose it: a single-circuit office can use one WAN and four LAN ports today, and a site that later adds a second broadband line for failover simply reassigns a port rather than replacing the gateway. All ports run over standard Cat5e or Cat6 to 100 m.

Multi-WAN Load Balancing and Link Backup

Load balancing on the ER605 covers intelligent load balance, application-optimised routing, link backup with timing and failover modes, and online detection. In practice that means a Singapore business can run a fibre service and a second line from a different provider, spread traffic across both, and have the gateway move sessions automatically when one circuit drops — the single most valuable feature at this price point for a site that cannot afford downtime.

Twenty IPsec Tunnels for Site-to-Site and Remote Access

The ER605 supports 20 IPsec VPN tunnels in LAN-to-LAN or client-to-LAN mode, with main and aggressive negotiation, DES through AES256 encryption, IKEv1/v2, MD5 and SHA1 authentication, NAT traversal, dead peer detection and perfect forward secrecy. IPsec throughput is 41.5 Mbps. Alongside IPsec sit a PPTP server with 10 clients across 16 tunnels, an L2TP server with L2TP over IPSec, and an OpenVPN server with 10 clients across 16 OpenVPN tunnels.

Bandwidth Control, Session Limits and Access Control

Guarantee and limited bandwidth can be applied per IP or per port, and per-IP session limits stop one device exhausting the 25,000-session table — a real problem on a small gateway when a single machine starts a large peer-to-peer transfer. Access control filters by IP, port, protocol and domain name; security covers an SPI firewall, VPN pass-through, ALG for FTP, H.323, PPTP, SIP and IPsec, and DoS and ping-of-death defences.

Captive Portal and Hotspot Authentication

Web authentication offers no authentication, simple password, hotspot with local user, voucher, SMS or RADIUS, external RADIUS server, external portal server and Facebook options. Under an Omada controller the captive portal is configured centrally alongside the access points, so a small café or clinic gets a branded guest network without buying separate hotspot software.

Silent, Palm-Sized and Under 6 W

The ER605 measures 158 × 101 × 25 mm and runs from an external 9V/0.85A DC adapter, so it fits in a shallow cupboard or on a shelf and is completely silent. It is adopted by an Omada Cloud-Based Controller, a hardware controller such as the OC200 or OC300, or the Omada Software Controller, which is what enables the Omada app, cloud access and Zero-Touch Provisioning; on its own it remains a fully configurable router via its web interface.

Ideal For

Singapore businesses, schools, hotels and managed-service providers building on Omada, and IT teams that want a gateway they can adopt, monitor and update centrally rather than box by box. Supplied by SourceIT with local Singapore warranty, GST invoice and project pricing on request.
