Has this been evaluated or categorized any further?

 

I understand the perspective/view of it possibly not being high demand, but on the flip side if it wasn't: why is there such support for it in the open source community?

 

I know I personally don't have any TP-Link/Omada routers (nor have I recommended or installed any) due to the lack of this feature.  But I know if it were an option I would be re-evaluting things.

Can you transfer it to the internal dev team for evaluation ?

 

Thanks for your help

It's been sent and notified to the dev team. But I don't think it's gonna be a high-priority demand/request.

I know open source can do that because there is openwrt for ER605 already and I had a brief look at the features on it. It does support many features that we don't support, but that's the advantage of open source. There are always unconventional ways to use products and the different needs from people, but our baseline is still providing conventional products to meet the most basic uses of our 2B customers.

 

I have looked up what UBNT does, and I don't find it supports disabling NAT as well. And so far we plan to keep it as a router. And most other contract users don't have the requirement of disabling the NAT. Just a few people on the forum expect this, I am afraid that this feature will be delayed longer than any other requests. Or not considered. I am still checking with the dev about this.

 

If you have a double-NAT issue, turn the modem to bridge mode. Or set its NAT mode to full-cone mode. If your modem cannot be changed to bridge mode to fix double-NAT, you may also write a request to the manufacturer of the modem or seek help from the ISP to see if they can provide a firmware or command to turn the modem to bridge mode.

 

It still stays as the current tag since the last time I reported it to the request pool. If this affects your choice, you can consider other brands now.

It is said this was considered but not in high-priority order. I asked before but never got an accurate answer. So, the timeline for this feature is unknown. Many other new features or optimizations are more important than this. So in their opinion, there is a tier list yet this one is placed behind or may not be considered.
