Set up Omada Router for small office
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hi
I want to set up an internet sharing in my office with around 50 PCs. I also need 5 access points to implement WI-FI Mesh for laptops in my office. I found out that the "Omada Gigabit VPN Router ER605" can handle my situation by sharing internet bandwidth based on IP. I want to double-check about the hardware that I need to purchase. 1- One Omada Router ER605. 2- Five Access Points device such as EAP600.
1- Is it the best match that I can do?
2- Do I need to buy an "OC200 Omada Hardware Controller" along with the ER605 for this network or my ER605 router can handle all the problems?
Thanks

Correction: we never advertise that you can aggregate the speed.
The description is not very clear to me. Just let you know about this first. And you can read this:
For the rest of the part, ER605 can handle around 50 PCs. It is usually used in a 100 network device situation. If you need more, please consider a better model. ER7206 will be the next level.
AP part is fine.
OC200 is not necessary unless you want to have better management.
In this case, you might also consider the switch. I don't see you mention any switch but just FYI, you can get an OC200 for management of your router and APs.
It's a regular setup and no problems with it.

1. Try ou the standanloe emulator: https://emulator.tp-link.com/5.11-605v2/index.html
Bandwidth control is a core feature available in both modes.
2. Yes.
Controller and standalone, both can do that. Standalone, in the bandwidth limit.
