@KimcheeGUN Can you share some screenshots? Any updates on ER-605 DPI support?

The release notes says this:
DPI: Added support for Deep Packet Inspection in Site view > Settings > Network Security > Application Control, which helps you to manage your network traffic through Application Layer.
I have some concerns about installing this release. Because typically DPI is a CPU intensive process (unless hardware accelerators are used). My concerns/questions are:
(1) - Are the current generation of routers still able to route at 1-Gbps wirespeed when using DPI?
(2) - In what way can I add new application definitions to this DPI engine?
(3) - Is it possible to disable DPI?
(4) - Consider posting some screenshots about these features and capabilities?
Many thanks,
- Will

DPI isn't auto enabled. You will have to enable it. So yes, it can be disabled.
I have my ER7206 running about 700MBPS (speedtest.net) out of 1G... BUT I have IPS enabled and DPI. I am fine with that. Since my client doesn't saturate the 1G speeds anyway. They peak about 350-400 at most.

I guess replacing the ER7206 with ER707-M2 would overcome that "limitation" - right?

I would assume, since the M2 has a better chipset... Still a dual-core chipset and little more ram.
BUT confirm that the M2 has DPI/IPS available right now? I don't think it is at this moment.
8411 would too, but again, I don't think DPI/IPS is available at this moment.

Yes - I know - not a lot of progress on the software/product development site!?
This goes for the complete Omada portfolio (i.e. including the Pro edition).
I guess I will have to be patience... which is not my strongest "capability"...

Honestly, there has been progress on the hardware. It's coming. I'm sure it is.
Like you said, patients isn't my best quality, but I do understand though. (used to work for their rival, so I understand the process)

Just give the performance specs a second look. It looks like the M2 is roughly twice as fast as the 7206.
So based on your 700-Mbps it looks like there is a reasonable change that it can handle 1-Gbps at wire speed with DPI and IPS enabled.
But anything above that... I have some serious doubts... the 8411 with their 10-Gbps ports is probably a better choice.
The reason for bringing this up is that a few regional ISP's are offering 2,5-Gbps-plus (up to 5-Gbps) Internet connections.
We will see how this all works out in the next 3-6 months.

It is good to read that DPI is possible. But on my site the DPI feature is grey. My Omada cloud controller tells me "Gateway does not support DPI". I use a ER7206. Which Gateway I have to use?
