Hi Everyone,

 

We’re excited to announce the official launch of ER7212PC!

 

ER7212PC is a future-proof, versatile, and compact router with PoE+ ports and Controller capability!

 

1. Production Overview

 

• 3-in-1 Router: A router with a built-in PoE switch and controller
• Up to 4× WAN Ethernet Ports and 8x PoE LAN Ports
• Highly Secure VPN: Supports IPsec VPN, OpenVPN, and L2TP/PPTP VPN connections
• Centralized Management: Cloud access and the Omada APP offer convenience and easy management

 

2. Hardware Features

 

• Equipped with 2× Gigabit SFP WAN/LAN ports, 1× Gigabit RJ45 WAN port, and 1× Gigabit RJ45 WAN/LAN port
• Support 8 ports 802.3af/at PoE output, PoE budget is 110W
• Professional 4 kV lightning protection
• Power supply: 53.5VDC/2.43A Adapter
• Fanless and compact enclosure design for desktop and wall mounting

 

 

3. Software Features

 

• Supports all Omada Software Controller functions with remote cloud management
• Supports OpenVPN/ IPSec/ PPTP/ L2TP/ L2TP over IPsec
• Captive portal provides a convenient method for guest authentication
• Abundant features including Load Balance, Bandwidth Control and Access Control

 

 

4. Application Scenarios

 

Supports Desktop and Wall-Mounted installation, and is suitable for small network scenarios such as small restaurants and convenience stores, as well as home network scenarios such as residential home decoration.

 

 

5. Solution Deployment Advantages

 

For small commercial networks and home networks, the current Omada solution is Omada Router + PoE Switch + Hardware Controller, which may troublesome for users to deploy and take up a lot of space. Compared with current Omada solution, ER7212PC has the following advantages:

• Easier deployment
• Less space and more flexible in installation
• Lower cost
• Maintains flexibility

 

 

6. Product Comparison

 

(1) TCP packet forwarding performance comparison (Static IP)

The one-way TCP performance of ER7212PC under Static IP dial-up is comparable to ER605 v2, the two-way TCP performance is slightly better than ER605 v2, and the two-way performance of dual LAN/WAN is better than ER605 v2.

 

 

(2) TCP packet forwarding performance comparison (DHCP)

The one-way TCP performance of ER7212PC under DHCP dialing is comparable to ER605 v2, the two-way TCP performance is slightly inferior to ER605 v2, and the two-way performance of dual LAN/WAN is better than ER605 v2.

 

 

(3) VPN performance comparison

ER7212PC supports IPSec VPN, OpenVPN, PPTP/L2TP and other VPN types, and supports SHA1 and SHA2 encryption algorithms. The IPSec VPN performance of ER7212PC is lower than ER605 v2, but the performance of PPTP、L2TP VPN and OpenVPN is better than ER605 v2. In addition, the ER7212PC's VPN can significantly outperform the ER605 v1.
