TP-Link Omada Cloud Controller - Metal

Works the way it claims to work.

All good but customer support of TP link is not good.

If you want secure your network and add firewall and control everything from single interface & from cloud this is best route. pair it with inexpensive POE+ switch,router and add an access point. it better and inexpensive alternative to sdn network controllers likes of unifi or cisco.powers over poe+. uses 3.3w power. tested it for over couple of months and total power consumption was 2 units for a month. connect with tp link account to access from anywhere. no need to forward ports or setup dmz to access it from anywhere.in box contents are oc200, Cat 5e 1 meter cable and guide. cat 5e is more than enough as controller only have 10/100 connector and doesn't need much of bandwidth.set up, it was relatively easy. connected incoming internet cable from my fiber ONT to the gateway, connected LAN from gateway to my poe + switch and poe switch to oC200. Scanned the network with nmap. but you can use omada mobile app or omada discover utility on pc. just go to the ip of controller and follow the on screen prompts. done.
