Omada SDN nearly bricked my router
Hi there, i have my ER605 router all configured appropriately for my location using the built-in UI. When i went to my server where i had the Omada SDN installed, and went to Adopt the router, it kept switching between Adopting to Configuring, and it kept going back and forth. It got to a point where i couldn't access the router at all from my configured settings, and after watching it switch back and forth for 20mins, with my Internet being down the entire time, i had to do a factory reset of the router and reload my config file back in. I haven't tried to do the Omada setup again, because i would like to keep my pre-configured settings. Did i do something wrong, or does the Omada setup wipe all settings out of the router by default? Thanks

No sadly there is not
Generally there the controller is much easier to configure than the router GUI. You should be able to open the 2 windows side by side and copy / compare the changes / passwords etc across.. done that before!
Once configured on controller, just adopt her and should be good

Adopting the router will wipe/remove any locally configured settings and apply the settings you have supplied via the controller. Others have experienced issues adopting a router that was heavily configured, its better to adopt the router when its factory reset / untouched.
On your controller, under settings > wired networks > internet configure your router ISP setting there. Then factory reset the router and adopt it via the controller, it will then configure the setting you have supplied to the controller.

If you are using a controller (hardware or software, they are the same) configure your Internet settings in admin / wired networks / internet then adopt the controller (ideally with no config on it)
