Despite Option 66/67 appearing in the Omada controller UI when managing the ER7412-M2, PXE booting fails. A packet capture shows the router does not include the next-server directive in the DHCP offer, which is essential for PXE to locate the TFTP server.
This behavior suggests the feature is incomplete or broken.
Worse yet, the standalone router UI doesn’t expose these DHCP options at all, making PXE setups impossible unless using an external DHCP/TFTP combo.
Please confirm whether full PXE support is on the roadmap — specifically:
-
next-serverset properly when Option 66 is configured -
Support for Option 67 file name delivery
-
A fix for this in a future firmware update
This is a dealbreaker for automated deployments in lab or enterprise environments. I’d be happy to test beta firmware if needed.
