TP-Link Omada Router and Switch - update or replacement?
Hello
I have a question.
So far I have used the following set:
- TP-Link ER605 v2 /it was hanging/
- TP-Link TL-SG2218P v1.2 /I started to run out of RJ45 ports/
- TP-Link OC200
- TP-Link EAP115 x 3 /for less important devices, mainly IoT/
- ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 /it worked better at home in terms of range/
As for the router and Poe switch, I have decided to change.
Please let me know if my current choice is good or maybe
go for something else?
- TP-Link ER7206 v2.0 ... or maybe ER707-M2 would be a better choice
- TP-Link SG2428LP v1.0 /according to the specification it has fewer functions than TL-SG2218P/
- TP-Link 0C200
What do you think? Do you have any advice?
Best regards

There is no definite answer to it. But generally, you gotta refer to the specs a lot so that you learn about what you need now or maybe in the future. That'll make a wise and future-proof purchase.
The switch is not as good as SG2218P. LP is not a standard PoE budget. I recommend you consider this if you need more PoE from the switch.
That's an improvement in getting ER7206. The basic entry level is ER605. 7206 is one level higher than ER605.
If you need more ports, there are other multiple port models available.
I personally do not recommend ER7212PC. For a growing network, 7212PC is not gonna suffice. Get OC+AP, and with a router, that's the common setup.

Thank you for your quick response
When you write that SG2428LP is worse than TL-SG2218P, what do you mean specifically?
Do you mean only the power budget of 150W or something else?
In your opinion, is it worth changing anything from the above list?
Or maybe change this set to the one below, will it be more stable?
- TP-Link ER707-M2 or TP-Link ER7406
- TP-Link TL-SG3428MP or TP-Link SG3428MP
Or maybe stick with TL-SG2218P and increase the number of RJ45 ports by adding
another smaller Omada switch.

Yes. Based on a naming format. LP < MP < HP.
Omada (Pro) Switch Naming Format
Only refers to the PoE. Not the hardware performance.
It might be a small margin improvement. Changing the router to the 707-M2 or 7406 might get a more promising future proof as far as I can see.
You can use that guide to pick up the proper switch you need.
