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 there,
I was on the latest 2.4 release with the SDN controller running within Docker, after some reading I found out that PXE options are only exposed if running in Standalone mode.
As of this morning I've ditched the SDN controller, factory reset my Router as well as AP and configured those for Standalone mode.
This issue was still present when running the latest firmware, so I downgraded using the link you posted for 2.2.3 Build 20231201 Rel.57231 and still this doesn't work, nor do I see options for 66 and 67.
Not sure what else to try, here's what I have for my settings.

Would you be able to share screenshots of your configuration? I'm just wondering if I'm missing something....

This was meant for the standalone users. In Controller mode, you must have the controller compatible with the options. Or it does not show up even if the firmware has supported it.
Then wait for the future controller update. I am not responsible for the controller. But the news I got is ETA V5.15.

@Springs42 Wait, I am having the EXACT same problem. Option 66 and 67 are filled out correctly, but anytime I go to boot it finds the file, but tries to fetch it via the gateway IP. Makes absolutely zero sense.

Are you looking for the next server? It does not support it. Try the beta then. Read the previous replies.

@Clive_A Wow, thanks for the quick reply. Yes, the next server is not correct when attempting to boot.
I was a little confused about the version revisions. I take it it's working with a beta version software for the Omada Controller?

Very unfortunate, that firmware was made for the standalone. The controller will add this, ETA V5.15. That's mentioned above.
The temp fix would be setting it in standalone mode and setting the parameters up.

@Clive_A Got it. Thank you. I saw that it only worked in standalone mode. Sadly, I am using the controller.
I combed through it again, and didn't see a timeline. Does the development team see a potential timeline for V5.15? Thanks again for the swift replies!
