Model: ER605 (TL-R605)   OC200   SG2008P  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I recently bought some used Omada devices which are:

- ER605 Router

- OC200 Controller

- TL-SG2008P Switch

- EAP610 Access Point

I'm wondering if it is safe to buy these devices from secondhand markets or if there is a risk that they may have been tampered with, such as having malware or backdoors.

What can I do to sanitize them? Is a factory reset the most I can do before deploying them on my network?

Thank you.

Thank you for your post. As the official manufacturer, we strongly recommend purchasing only from authorized retailers to ensure full warranty, genuine firmware, and safety. Second-hand units may conceal hidden faults or tampering; although a factory reset usually restores defaults and erases prior settings, we cannot guarantee complete security or optimal performance.
