How to Maintain Management VLAN and Port Settings When Adopting Switches on Omada Network V6

Before Omada Controller V6, when adopting a switch on controller, the default configuration will be applied to the switch and override all the previous pre-configuration done in standalone mode. This could cause inconvenience while adopting switches to a network which management VLAN is not the default VLAN. If the default configuration, especially the default VLAN interface, overrides the pre-configuration done on the switch, it will be disconnected after adoption and hard to recover.

How to set up Site-to-Site Manual IPsec VPN Tunnels on Omada Gateway via Omada Controller using Omada APP

IPsec Site-to-Site VPN can connect geographically isolated networks. It is mainly used in large enterprises to establish VPN channels between branches and the headquarter. IPsec VPN connection is established between branch routers through the public network to transmit private network data.

How to provide project quotations on Omada Design Hub

This article provides guidance for how to provide professional and flexible project quotation on Omada Design Hub.

How to prevent wireless users from sharing Wi-Fi via the mobile hotspot?

Wi-Fi networks are an essential part of modern life, offering connectivity for various devices at home, at work, or in public spaces. However, with the increasing use of Wi-Fi, many individuals share their networks with others, whether intentionally or unintentionally. This can lead to security vulnerabilities, slow speeds, and potential legal issues.

How to Build a Mesh Network via Omada EAP in Controller Mode using Omada APP

In outdoor scenarios where wired networks are difficult to deploy, you can use the mesh function of EAP to extend the coverage of the wireless network. Currently, the mesh function is only supported on APs managed by a controller. This article mainly introduces how to use the APP to operate the controller and complete mesh networking. Depending on the type of controller you are using, the following requirements apply: 

How to configure MAC Filtering & MAC Filter in Controller mode using Omada APP

MAC Filtering is a network access control feature that restricts network access by allowing or blocking specific MAC addresses and manages network access behaviors. Currently, MAC Filtering in site settings takes effect on the gateway, while MAC Filter in SSID settings takes effect on the AP or wireless gateway. 

How to Configure Hotspot 2.0 Wi-Fi on Omada Controller

This article introduces Hotspot 2.0 Wi-Fi and provides a step-by-step guide on how to configure Hotspot 2.0 on Omada Controller.

How to configure Management VLAN for Omada Devices (Omada Controller 5.15 or above)

The management VLAN is a VLAN created to separate the management network from the data network. By default, the management VLAN is the LAN network in a network centrally managed by Omada SDN Controller. You can change the management VLAN to improve network security. With a separated management VLAN, it is much harder for unauthorized users to modify the configurations or monitor the network.

Interference Detection on Omada Controller

Discover how to use TP-Link Omada’s Interference Detection tool to scan your Wi-Fi network, detect interference sources and analyze channel utilization. This article explains the Interference Detection feature in the Omada Controller, including its purpose, access methods, configuration process and exporting the results.

How to Fix Black Screens, Lag, Distortion, or Pixelation on IPTVs

This article provides a detailed overview of common causes and troubleshooting methods for IPTV issues such as black screens, lag, image distortion, and pixelation. Based on the practical configuration of TP-Link Omada devices, it offers a systematic, multi-layered diagnostic approach and recommended settings to help you restore video playback quality.

How to Troubleshoot Slow Channel Switching, Missing Channels, and More in IPTV

This guide introduces common causes and step-by-step troubleshooting for issues such as slow channel switching, missing channels, and multi-device viewing failures in IPTV. It outlines diagnostic methods by device type (e.g., terminal, AP, access/aggregation/core switches, gateway) and provides recommended configuration values and validation approaches.

What should you do when the Omada Network v6 adopts device with outdated firmware?

This article provides a step-by-step guide on what you should do when the Omada Network (v6) adopts device with outdated firmware.

What changes are there in Omada Controller v6 compared to v5?

The objective of this document is to provide with a comprehensive, section-by-section mapping between Omada Controller version 5.x and the re-architected 6.0 user interface.

What is the difference between Internal Antenna Mode and External Antenna Mode for Omada EAP?

Some Omada AP devices now support both Internal (Directional) and External (Omnidirectional) antennas. Users can switch between the two as needed using the Antenna Selection Feature. This article introduces the new functionality available on specific Omada EAP devices that enables both Directional and Omnidirectional Antenna operation in Standalone Mode.

How to set up an SSID with EoGRE Tunnel using Omada EAP

EoGRE (Ethernet over GRE) is a technology that encapsulates Ethernet frames into GRE tunnels for transmission, commonly used to transport Layer 2 Ethernet data over Layer 3 networks. EAPs compatible with Omada Network V6.0 support this feature. The EAP can encapsulate Ethernet packets from the wireless interface into GRE packets and transmit them through a tunnel to a specified remote endpoint for decapsulation, enabling Layer 2 traffic transmission over a Layer 3 network.

How to configure WireGuard VPN in Controller mode using Omada APP

This article demonstrates how to configure a WireGuard VPN between Site HQ and Site STA, where each site is equipped with its own Omada Gateway. By following the configuration steps in Controller mode using the Omada App, administrators can quickly establish a secure and reliable VPN tunnel to connect distributed networks.

How to Configure Bluetooth feature on Omada Controller

This article details the principle and advantages of Bluetooth IoT technology and provides specific configuration guidelines and application strategies for Bluetooth IoT.

How to configure Forwarding Mode of X2-OLT on Omada Controller

Forwarding Mode is the mode of switchover between two boards of OLT. There are two Forwarding Mode: Load Balance allows two boards work together to get high bandwidth. Link Backup allows two boards work in active/standby mode respectively.

How to Create Site in Omada Controller via Open API

The Omada API provides programmatic access to TP-Link’s Omada SDN Controller, enabling integration with external systems and automation of network management tasks. Users can authenticate, query network status, manage devices, control client access, and configure settings without using the Omada web interface. This makes it easier to build automate workflows and integrate Omada with third-party platforms or monitoring tools.
