Model: ER706W  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I'm thinking of getting an E706w as my main router combined with 2 EAP625s to be used as access points. More APs will be added later. The EAP625s will be connected with Ethernet cables. From what I have read, a hardware controller such as the OC200 is required in order for WiFi roaming (like a mesh setup) to be working effectively. Is that right?

 

I'm also interested in connecting the ER706w to a vpn provider (like surfshark) with the Wireguard protocol. Is this possible? Because when looking at the RT706W emulator, I can't see the option of VPN client, where you can upload a configuration file. Is this possible and how is the performance? Is it something I need to setup within the controller?

 

Also, how is it in terms of bandwidth control? I'm looking to combine 3 WAN ports. One 50mbps line (the max copper line in my area), a Starlink connection and a 4g/5g modem router. I'm looking to use this setup in a small hotel with around 80 persons capacity. Is there a way to limit each user to a certain bandwidth limit or  would you suggest a better way to do things? At the moment, when a few guests are watching videos on YouTube others can't even load a web page or are even having trouble sending an email.

Controller not needed for WiFi roaming, this is a standard function of access points and it work fine in standalone.  If the EAPs broadcast the same SSIDs and have the same passwords, clients will roam between them.   Mesh is a red herring and not needed when access points are wired.

 

VPN - i think so, but someone else can chime in on that

 

Multiple WAN - The router will not add up the speeds of you rproviders.  They can work alongside each other in load balance, or you can assign them to vlans with policy routing if you want to distribute load that way.
