Model: ER605 (TL-R605)  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 2.3.0 Build 20250428 Rel.18967

Hi TP-Link,

 

I have experienced problems with my ER605 - was "disconnected" from controller and as I was abroad ath this time, I couldn't do anything.

The web interface provides nothing to resolve any issue remotely. Normal operation was resumed after my return and powercycling the router.

 

My feature request is: please add at least reboot option to the controller managed devices

 

 

EDIT: my post about the incident can be found here

Hi  @ZoloNN 

 

Thanks for posting here.

 

The disconnection indicates that the device has lost communication with the controller. Under this condition:

Remote operations (including reboot) via the controller interface are impossible – "You can't cook without ingredients."

 

The remote reboot option only appears when the device is online and properly connected.

No, he means the actual deviuce web GUI (the one that says, for example "WEB SERVER FORBIDDEN CONTROLLER SOFTWARE RUNNING" like on switches and gateways when you go to their IP

It desperately needs a reboot button since you can still log into them with the device user/password you set in omada

 

I have experienced similar with the gateways - they can sometimes get stick in a disconnected state, but the web gui of the device still thinks its in controller mode so you cant do anything until you physically power cycle, especially if you dont have SSH enabled (which has a reboot command)

Hi @Vincent-TP,

 

the problem is, when the SD-WAN is down, I'm out of any option to do anything on remote site.

As the VPN connection on remote site is still working, I can reach web interface of my remote gateway - but as controller on primary site can't connect to the remote site (no SD-WAN), there is no management/troubleshooting possibility....

 

if you lose connection to the site with controller - all your devices are converted to expensive paperweight pieces smiley

 

And even last issue on primary site: controller thought the primary router is disconnected - and physical intervention (powercycle) was needed to restore normal operation.
