Model: EAP653  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.3

I'm going to begin by saying that I may have under-purchased and might not be understanding what hardware or software requirements I need.

 

Right now, I literally have a single EAP653 plugged into a generic (non TP-Link) fibre router, with Omada Cloud Essentials (which I believe also includes a Cloud Controller. No further hardware based controllers or routers.

 

Basic config works fine: Using the default LAN, I have a working WiFi SSID, DHCP and internet access.

 

I then set up a new LAN as an Interface on VLAN 107, then created a WLAN to connect to VLAN ID #107.

 

Client devices can connect to the WiFi no problem, but are not served DHCP addresses.

Is this an issue in my config or am I missing some additional hardware / software to enable DHCP on VLANs?

 

 

Config:

LAN

 

 

 

WLAN

EAP is not a router but an access point, 

 

 

and as you see.

  @swskotl 

 

you need an Omada router, the settings you have set have no effect on other routers

Ah shoot - and the EAP can't route between its own VLANs / subnets?

Hi  @swskotl 

 

MR.S had answered the DHCP issue. 

You need to add an Omada gateway.

Below is a comaptible list:

Yes, with Omada cloud essentials, you don't need any hardware controllers.

Wish you a happy life and smooth network usage!  >Get the Latest Omada SDN Controller Releases Here< >Experience the Latest Omada EAP Firmware<

Ahh - thanks both. So the ER605 looks like a good candidate, then?
