ER605 DHCP Routing Issues
2022-09-26 14:32:18
Model: ER605 (TL-R605)  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: v1_1.2.2_20220918 (BETA)

I am running an Omada network with the following HW:

 

ER605 V1 Router

Omada SW controller running on a SFF PC

HP ProCurve 2910AL Managed POE+ Switch

QTY 3 EAP610 V1 Omada Access Points

 

I've been up and running for 2 months.  At least once every 2 days, one of my clients can't get a valid IP from the router and can't get to the internet.  Rebooting the ER605 solves the issue temporarily.  I've tried many things including:

 

1) Various firmware revisions on the ER605 (1.2.1 Release, 1.2.2 BETA)

2) Replacing the HP Switch with an unmanaged TP-Link Switch

3) Replacing the ER605 with another one of the same version

 

I would like to know what else I can try.  I'm not looking for fancy routing features (VLAN, VPN, QoS, etc).  I just want my clients to get an IP address and reach the internet.  

 

Should I replace the ER605 with a non-Omada router?  (Mikrotik hEX, Pfsense, etc)

Hi there,

Based on the information you've provided, it seems that you're having some connectivity issues with your Omada network.

It's good to hear that you've tried various troubleshooting steps such as firmware revisions, replacing the switch, and even the router itself. However, it's not surprising that the issue persists as there could be other factors contributing to the problem.

One thing you could consider is replacing the ER605 with a non-Omada router, as you mentioned Mikrotik hEX or Pfsense. This might provide a solution if the issue is related to compatibility with the Omada system. However, it's always recommended to consult with a professional before making any significant changes to your network setup.

As an alternative, you could also consider replacing your Windsor router with a replacement Windsor to see if that solves the issue. Make sure to check the compatibility of the replacement router with your existing Omada setup.

Hope this helps!
