Hi  @Gio25 

 

To do basic configuration for the EAP units, such as change SSID & password, hardware controller and software controller do the same thing.

 

While there are some advanced features which require the controller running all the time, if you are using a software controller, the controller PC should be running all the time.

 

Below FAQ introduces more details:

Should I keep the Omada Controller running after configuration?

 

what's more, you can have a look on the following FAQ:

The differences and commons of three Omada Controllers

Any controller will work for those. It can be Hardware on from TP-Link or selfhosted software one.

I'm using software controller setup in DOcker container for my EAP650 and EAP673. Works without any issue.

 

Cheers.
