First issue is that the SFP+ ports can't run on 2.5G. We use a 2.5G SFP module (GPON ONT), we tried some settings but never got it working on 2.5G on ER8411, so we settled on 1G for now. First issue what we had on a 1G WAN connection is that the speed is lacking. From connections that are faster than 1G on LAN the speed is not full. Also the router takes some time to reach full speed, starts on 500Mbit/s and takes 15 seconds to get 1Gbit/s. So we put our previous router before the ER8411 and connected the SFP+ WAN port to our previrous router on 10G speed the speed is as expected, instant full speed. If we configure the link between ER8411 and previous router on 1G same issue is again here. That need to be sorted out.

here's the thing, running with SM5310-T, link speed as 10G, and 8411 can run at 2.5G as isp provided.

do you ever think it could be a problem with your module? btw, according to my knowledge and researching, tplink SFP+ port does not support 2.5 and 5G sfp. refer to the datasheet.

 We use Wireguard to connect some other non Omada networks (site-to-site), we could configure it. But we use NAT on the router to allow the network behind the router to connect endpoints behind the Wireguard network. I'm missing to configure NAT (masquerade) on interfaces.

 

Also small improvement for port selections, now it is possible define a port or a range like (50-100). Really missing to define multiple ports that are not in a range. Like 80,443. Useful for firewalls and port forwards.

what kind of mode do you use? controller or standalone.

i asked the support before about the sfp+ as some of my clients' internet plan is 2.5Gbps. and they use a 10G module. and it works fine. 

plainly there are 1G and 10G for sfp+ on tplink sfp+ products. 

either it's hardware or software limitation, I did not ask. you cannot argue its cheap price.

  @OXAR 

you misunderstand me. i mean i did a survey that all sfp+ from the tplink don't support 2.5 and 5g. this is very likely to be a controller issue. the controller, I mean the sfp modules they got from the intel/Qualcomm/mediatek/realtek (maybe these brands) are not natively supporting them. 

you know, intel 13900ks and 13900k, these are sold at different price. reason why? because 13900ks is a special pick which they natively support higher clock speed. 

defect one are becoming 13900k 13700k or 13600k. so, the tech/chipset companies selling these products with a known defect. 

not to mention intel is famous to classify its fiber module into different categories and sell them at different price tags to other manufacturers like tplink

tplink probably got cheap modules considering the cost. therefore, the module natively does not support 2.5g and 5g. 

you want more compatibility, the module must support it natively and that would raise the price/cost.

that's my point. i am not saying it may not be a software limitation. but presume and think about this from the hardware level. 

to the best of my knowledge, meraki and cisco are offering limited support and requiring an annual license and additional support fee which costs pretty much annually. most of my clients choose tplink from a perspective of cost-friendly point.
