I love the Threat Management Gateway on my OC200 mixed in with the ER707-M2 but I wish it was all in one areá.  You have the GLOBAL HOST on the OC200 which has the map, I added the API but not sure what it's really meant for other then blocking countries.

 

Then you have to goto the ER707-M2 Insight Area to see info for the Threat Management Gateway and then goto Settings Firewall etc to actually get to the blocked IP's.

 

So if you guys could get this all in one spot or atleast link it through on the pages that would be IDEAL.  And you should be able to MANUALLY ADD IP's as well!

 

It's still SUPER SLOW for the WAN to come up, it can say connected and take a good 2-3 minutes or so before any internet works.

 

I setup a PfSense last week, instant all the time outside it's boot time.  I have not tested the boot time on the ER707-M2 but....  I just know when you plug in the WAN..... it can have all the IP's etc but nothing, no net for minutes.  

 

Same if you make small changes around the place on the OC200, it will drop the net ............  You guys have to fix that, it seems ROUTER WIDE.  If it's your version of Linux you need to drop it like a bad smell........  

 

I am trialing this ER707 but I might yet return it due to the slowness .......  It also doesn't dish out custom DNS on static IP's........  AGAIN Windows Server DHCP, PfSense etc all do this!  

 

I have many things that need to use different DNS.......  So this is the feedback.  AND............ AND.....   the Threat Management Block list is limited to 32 entries only?

@Clive_A Hi,

 

There is a problem with the backend login interface. If the Dynamic DNS URL is not available, it will display a "Referer checking failed" error. Later, I can log in to the backend using the IP number.

 

Is there a CSRF issue with the login interface?

Are you able to confirm the DDNS has been synced correctly? Can you paste a screenshot of the DDNS status? Please mosaic the sensitive information.

If you access the IP, then without typing anything else, simply input the IP, and you can be directed to the router admin page?

Dear @Clive_A 

 

Thank you for the prompt reply.

 

DDNS synchronization was successful and no errors occurred... ↓

 

 

Enter the URL, which is displayed as follows. It will not lead to the login screen. ↓

 

 

Then, after changing it to IP, it was normal. ↓

 

 

Looking at the overall incident, the currently known problem is that the domain cannot be redirected to the login screen.

 

I don’t know why?

 

Many thanks~^_^

Try the incognito mode or private mode. It should fix the problem. It seems to be a cache issue with the browser.

Hi  @Clive_A 

 

The following I have tested many times:

 

1.For the PC versions of Chrome and Edge, use incognito mode throughout the process. You cannot access the domain and can only access it by changing the IP.


2. For the mobile versions of Chrome and Edge, use incognito mode throughout the process. You cannot access the domain and can only access it by changing the IP.


3. Downgrade to ER707-M2(UN)_V1_1.1.0 Build 20230609. After returning, make sure you can enter.

 

I am very sure that there is a problem with ER707-M2 V1_1.1.1_Build 20230927 Beta.

Hi @SakamotoBlog 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

I got a reply from the test and dev team. This has been replicated and will be fixed in the public release. Please pay attention to the public release. For the time being, you may downgrade to the previous firmware as a temporary solution.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

  @Clive_A and team, this will be a great update. I am testing this firmware on my ER707-M2 v1.0 with the Omada 5.13.10 controller (also beta) and when enabling IDS/IPS my internet speed is heavily impacted. I have a 1Gbps internet, with IDS/IPS on Low I can get around 400Mbps throughput and on Medium around 250Mbps. With IDS/IPS turned off and can get 950Mbps. Is this a hardware limitation? (CPU and memory are not maxed out) or can this be fixed on software prior to the final release?
