Tags: #Adoption #OC200
Model: OC200  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.15.2 Build 20220323 Rel.60717

Hi.

We would like to inquire if this setup is possible
Main Router - 192.168.8.1 (edited)
ER605 - 192.168.18.10
OC200 - 192.168.18.11

We tried to use the 192.168.18.x IP but there is an issue whenever the OC200 is adopting the ER605. This does not occur if using 192.168.0.x network address on both ER605 and OC200.

Can we request for your assistance?

Thank you.

It seems like here is the double NAT in your network, and if the ER605 connect to the main router's LAN port, then the main router's LAN IP couldn't be same as the ER605's LAN IP.

Because the ER605 WAN IP should be different from the LAN IP. Otherwise here will be the IP conflict.

Just striving to develop myself while helping others.

Would I be correct in assuming your architecture has the LAN ports of the Main, ER605 and OC200 all at the same level, and that you have different WAN connections for the Main and ER605 routers?  If so, then yes, it should be possible, but it's not by default (I had the same issue, but gave up and just changed to 192.168.0.x)  However, after becoming more familiar with the Omada ways, I think if you redefine the default gateway for the default LAN subnet on the controller (Settings->Wired Networks->LAN) to be 192.168.18.10/24 AND you change the fallback IP and subnet of the Controller itself (Settings->Controller Settings->Controller->General Settings) to be say 192.168.18.11 and netmask of 255.255.255.0 (or whatever is appropriate) then the OC200 should boot up on the right network and find the router and adopt it.  

 

Normally I'd test before proposing this, but I am live at the moment and cannot mess around.

  @Virgo Hi

Main Router is 192.168.8.1
OC200 - 192.168.18.10
ER605 - 192.168.18.11
* this setup cannot adopt the ER605 properly

changing 192.168.18.x to 192.168.0.1 has no issues

Hi. Yes. The OC and ER are 192.168.18.x while the main router use a different network address.

Will try the suggestion you posted. 

Thanks.

This is the FAQ that is able to solve the issue. There is no direct way. It needs to be done as it is shown on this guide https://www.tp-link.com/ph/support/faq/3148/ Hoping TP-Link will be able to fix this on the future release of the firmware. Thanks.

Good on you for finding a solution.  My issue is, if you ever factory default the router, you have to redo all this with a local PC...hardly an enterprise grade solution IMHO.  And that's most of the reason why I kept my management addressing as 192.168.0.x....if you can't beat it, join it.  @Fae Maybe the engineers can noodle on a better, cleaner way to make this work?

I think the last step should be to have the entire setup exported or saved. This way, if the hardware controller fails and replaced with a new device, you can just simply export the settings. Maybe there are still some bugs/issues that haven't shown depending on how big the network layout is. Currently still doing some tests and finding out why some EAP icons shows a wifi icon beside the adopt option. Thanks
