We switched to Omada EAPs and some switches some time ago but our core was still from another vendor.

To get whole network in Omada we bought a ER8411 and TL-SX3008F to replace routing and distribution. I just installed the latest beta version because the need of Wireguard. But we faced some issues and lacking some features.

First issue is that the SFP+ ports can't run on 2.5G. We use a 2.5G SFP module (GPON ONT), we tried some settings but never got it working on 2.5G on ER8411, so we settled on 1G for now. First issue what we had on a 1G WAN connection is that the speed is lacking. From connections that are faster than 1G on LAN the speed is not full. Also the router takes some time to reach full speed, starts on 500Mbit/s and takes 15 seconds to get 1Gbit/s. So we put our previous router before the ER8411 and connected the SFP+ WAN port to our previrous router on 10G speed the speed is as expected, instant full speed. If we configure the link between ER8411 and previous router on 1G same issue is again here. That need to be sorted out.

Please make it possible to use 2.5G and 5G speeds on the SFP+ ports.

We use Wireguard to connect some other non Omada networks (site-to-site), we could configure it. But we use NAT on the router to allow the network behind the router to connect endpoints behind the Wireguard network. I'm missing to configure NAT (masquerade) on interfaces.

Also small improvement for port selections, now it is possible define a port or a range like (50-100). Really missing to define multiple ports that are not in a range. Like 80,443. Useful for firewalls and port forwards.
