Omada Ecosystem devices losing internet connection although local connection is still fine
Hi TP-Link Community,
I recently bought into the Omada ecosystem after seeing some positive reviews of the product and it seemed rather easy to configure and setup using the controller.
I am running the router ER605 v2.0, Switch TL-SG2218 v1.0, WAPs EAP115(EU) v4.0, EAP245(EU) v3.0 with the Omada controller running on CentOS.
I have configured VLANs as this was my main reason for purchase was to segment my network.
Upon first configuration I was extremely happy with how flawless and simple this was to configure using the Omada controller interface and was perfect for what I needed. After about 4 weeks of no issues and perfect operation of the network, I started to see some Large Ping attack messages and I also noticed that my internet would stop working and loading webpages would just time out. to fix this issue I just had to reboot the device to restore the connection. (Can confirm no issues from carrier side) This is 100% a issue with the hardware. after a few days I noticed the Large ping attack messages coming in more frequent. I also noticed that my internet connection would just stop working on all connected clients for no real apparent reason every day now. I noticed new firmware updates and a controller update and was hoping this would be the fix. After updating I have noticed this issue gets progressively worse to now I'm at the point of rebooting this equipment every 4 hours and some times the reboot just wont always work and I have to physically turn it off out the power point wait a bit and turn it back on.
I cant figure out what is happening as the NBN connection is perfectly fine with no drop outs what so ever. My local connection is perfect I can access my controller and other servers no issues when this happens. but for some reason the internet just breaks? the other thing I have noticed is that devices that are still streaming a connection, Netflix, Youtube, teams, etc all still work whilst the stream is still running, until you end the stream. Whilst the issue is happening trying to load any webpages on any devices just times out until I reboot the router and switch. it seems like a very strange issue that doesn't really make any sense I am almost convinced its a firmware issue and any help would be great please as this is starting the frustrate the hell out of me and almost at the point of going back to my basic home router.
Kind Regards
James
