Model: EAP225   ER7206 (TL-ER7206)  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: current

I have 3 sites. 

 

Each with its own software controller.

 

Goal: have ONE soft controller. Have all remote sites connect and use that one controller.

 

I have followed to a T these instructions: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/3087/https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/3087/

 

I have new OMADA devices to use, instead of first connecting already assigned devices.  ( I have new router and new AP's to practice with before moving all sites to one controller)

 

Added ports forwards 29810-2981429810-29814 UDP/TCP. Added ports on PC firewall. Disable firewalls. Still the adopts fail. They show up in the controller with correct MAC and uptimes, so I'd think its "seeing" the controller. 

 

I also have point2points IPSec tunnels between all locations. I even tried to connect to the remote omada controller via the VPN using the LAN IP of the controller. 

 

any ideas ?

Fixed it.

 

The server hosting Omada controller has 4 network ports. The NIC the controller is linked to had the highest metric. So the "out bound " data was going out a NIC with a lower metric.

 

Changing the metrics on each NIC to make the main NIC primary fixed the issue.
