TP-Link ER707-M2 | Omada Multi-Gigabit VPN Router | Dual 2.5Gig WAN Ports | High Network Capacity | SPI Firewall | Omada SDN Integrated | Load Balance | Lightning Protection

I live in a rural area and recently added Starlink alongside T-Mobile Home Internet. To make the most of both connections, I picked up a Dual WAN router—the ER707-M2—to combine the two ISPs and load balance traffic while I test and decide which one to stick with. The price was excellent, and so far, the router has been performing flawlessly. Setup can be as simple as plug-and-play, but if you dive into advanced features like Policy Routing and group configurations, it might be a bit complex for some users. That said, if you’re a Hulu user, brace yourself—streaming can be finicky without proper routing. Thankfully, Policy Routing can help smooth out those issues and save you a lot of frustration. Updating firmware was easy and I appreciate the auto backup option of settings to an external USB drive. Only frustration is being an Amazon Prime member and here of late, deliveries that say 2 days turns in to a week. This is happening more and more on my end.

Bought mine on June 2024. Year and a half later no problems at all. The room is air conditioned and the router is supplied by an UPS. Working non stop. Excellent piece of equipment.

I purchased this product, hardware version 1.6, more than 2 years ago, and it has been performing perfectly since then without any issues. The product has a good look of design as usual in a rectangular shape that is constructed proportionally so-called Golden Ratio - visually appealing. It supplies a web platform for administrators to manage networks via a very clean visual design of the user interface as well - actionable items or tasks are categorized and arranged very clearly for the administrators quickly locating the tasks to perform such as monitoring the runtime issues or solve specific problems in configurations. I use this product constructing my home network that is pre-wired in Cat. 6 Ethernet in every room, and VLAN segmenting Wi-Fi network from the wired network, my home office, children, and guest accesses. Technically, my review only pertains to the features of WAN/LAN, not VPN yet. This product provides what I need and performs well as expected without any issues. I haven't had chances to try out the other features such as VPN as mentioned before, including Omada SDN Integrated Load Balancer but the load balancing in software configuration will be my next plan to implement. I am definitely confident in its functionality. Also, the manufacture's tech support is very responsive in communications and the solution provided to solve the issue of the firmware update is efficient and quick. Overall, great product and the customer services, two-thumbs up!

Not as "refined' as more sophisticated (and expensive) brands as Microtics for exemple, but does the job in SOHO environment. Stable.

Worked great!

I'm a "prosumer," so this router might not be for the average person who wants an "easy" plug-and-play setup. But it's not complicated to set up if you know how to get to the web interface and know the difference between a WAN and LAN port. I purchased this router for its multi-gigabit capability, and it does not disappoint. Recently Comcast/Xfinity upgraded us to 1,200Mbps service, but the router and modem we had would only allow us to hit around 700Mbps. We first upgraded our modem and were hitting the same speeds, but bypassing our router with a 2.5 gig wired connection directly to our modem would allow us to hit 1,400Mbps, so I knew our 7-year-old router was holding us back. I did a bunch of research, and there were a few multi-gigfor upwards of $ router options 600 with nice app features, etc., but I could not justify the cost. I did find some people on Reddit in the same predicament, and this router was recommended, and was the cheapest option at $200 at the time of purchase. With this router, I can hit line speed speeds of 1,400Mbps as if I were directly connected to the modem. But there are some essential things to consider if you want to reach these speeds in your network. 1. You need a router that your ISP approves for > 1 gig service 2. You must have >= 2.5 gig hardware between the router and your computer. That includes your laptop/desktop having a >= 2.5 gig network adapter/card and any switches between being >= 2.5 gig. 3. This only has two 2.5 gig ports, so you will need an additional 2.5 gig switch to expand > 1 gig service to your LAN. One port will connect to your modem, and the other port to your 2.5 gig switch to expand your 2.5 gig connections. There's also additional VPN hardware onboard to do site-to-site VPN connections at pretty impressive bandwidth for the price. I have not utilized this yet, but it is an excellent addition for someone who needs to be connected to a corporate network. But this is more advanced and probably unnecessary by the average consumer. Overall, I am super happy with the purchase and am now looking at their Wi-Fi mesh gear to tie it all together with the "Omada" management, which is similar to Ubiquiti's management software that I am probably migrating away from after this purchase.

It takes some time to get used to the configuration of Omada gear. It's not normal and doesn't quite make sense. I've worked on networks and routers and switches for over 40 years, so I know what i'm talking about. Overall this gear works great, just a bit weird to configure, some of the controls and how and where you setup things, example: like static DHCP clients, sucks. I still don't think I could find where you set up a static DHCP, without going through 20 screens. All the normal network concepts are there for a business, but just in some odd places and the flow of the config doesn't always make sense. Once this is set up it working it's great. I put in this ER7206 and it has double the throughput of my old Meraki (end of life MX64). So I got a nice speed increase on my home internet using the Omada. Overall I prefer business grade equipment for my home use and I'm happy I went with TP-Link Omada great price for performance, but at the cost of odd configuration and setup.

If you’re looking to upgrade your home or small office network to a more robust customizable network the Tp-Link ER707 m2 paired with the Omada controller, access points and switches is the way to go. Right out of the box swapping it in for my old ER605 V1 gateway was straightforward and the multi-gig 2.5 Gbps ports give your network the future proofing it needs to survive the ever-changing landscape on networking. Paired with the Omada controller, the whole ecosystem really shines as the centralized dashboard, remote access, and monitoring tools that gives you visibility into devices, traffic, and usage without drowning you in complexity. One of the standout features for me is the VPN flexibility. The ER707-M2 supports IPSec, OpenVPN, L2TP, PPTP, and, best of all, WireGuard, which has quickly become my go-to for secure and efficient client to server connections. Add in VLANs, ACLs, and advanced monitoring, and you have all the tools to build a robust, segmented, and flexible home network to isolate IoT devices, hosting a media server, or just keeping the kids’ devices in check. There is also the USB port that allows you to plug in a cellular/LTE USB modem that gives you a backup internet connection if your main WAN goes down or just use it use it for USB storage or file sharing. Overall, the ER707-M2 is a versatile well-rounded gateway that is flexible, fast, and packed with advanced security and traffic control, enterprise grade tools, all at a price that doesn’t require raiding the retirement fund. If you want an upgrade that still suits the home network needs that powerful yet approachable, with WireGuard VPN, VLAN control, with Omada’s centralized management to tie it all together, this router is hard to beat.

The router is not great.. instead go for ER605. Most of the times when the device is restarted the power indicator glow up but the system indicator does not glow.. I have waited for more than 30 mins.. you need to pray before switching on this device for the system to start..

Good unit. I have managed to set up a VPN after trial an error. There is not enough tutorial and support information to configure the system. Poor menu system. Really should be USB power supply by now.

very bad experience i had with tp-link omada and er7206 vpn router...totally waste of money. i would like to send it back to the supplier but i dont know i could get refund or no? can the supplier let us know about the refund.
