ER605 V2 - PXE Boot not working?
I migrated from a unifi system over to a tp-link ER605 as my unifi system couldn't support my new internet connection properly.
One thing that was setup and working was pxe booting.
I've tried setting this up within the ER605 but it doesn't seem to work correctly.
It picks up the boot file correctly but even if i put the correct address into what now states the "DHCP TFTP server" it still picks up the default gateway as the tftp server and just boot loops.
Has anyone been able to get this working correctly? or is there anyway to get around it?

Hi @Toast789 @mrdeadlocked @WindyBinDay @Springs42
Confirmed w/ the dev that there will be a beta for standalone to have the next server. If you are using a controller, please let me know the controller version.
Future firmware updates for the router will resolve this issue. Please patiently wait for the future firmware updates.

Here's the beta firmware for you. Please download it here: download
It adds support to the next server in standalone mode. For anyone who uses a controller, this might not be as helpful. Please wait for the future firmware of the Omada Controller.

@Clive_A the qr code is not working. I think the link is expired or something.

That previous link was a direct download to the file. The session was terminated later by the file server. So it does not work anymore.
Download the new QR code from that again. I updated it.

I used the 2.2.3 Build 20231201 Rel.57231 firmware. PXE booting works fine. I used netboot dot xyz efi

I upgraded my stand alone ER605 v2.0 to firmware 2.2.3 Build 20231201 Rel.32918 and TFTP address is still my gateway address.
Firmware version mentioned above does not appear on the list of available downloads.

I installed firmware ER605 2.2.4 Build 20240119 Rel.44368 and TFTP server setting is still not working.
It seems that the advanced LAN settings are completely ignored.
Am I missing a vital step?

I am also experiencing the same problem.
Hardware version: ER605 v2.0
Firmware Version: 2.2.4 Build 20240119 Rel.44368
The Advanced Settings for DHCP does not appear to be applying. Despite setting DHCP Network Boot (Option 67) and DHCP TFTP Server (Option 66), the endpoint does not appear to get these necessary values when trying to boot. The endpoint stays on "Start PXE over IPv4 on MAC xxxx" without ever getting the IP address for the TFTP server.

If you are not reading the thread carefully, let me point you the issue.
You are NOT using the same firmware as they do.
And my previous reply was a beta firmware provided by the download link which has expired for a long long time. (7-day)
Here's the link I created again. Note that the firmware may not include the features you see on 2.2.4 now.
In addition, the official fix to this issue will come out on V5.15(ETA). Disclaimer, this is not a guarantee but informative use.
