TP-Link ER605 V2 Omada Gigabit VPN Router

TP-Link ER605 V2 Router Overview:

The ER605 V2 Omada Gigabit VPN Router by TP-Link is a high-performance, business-class router designed for small to medium-sized networks, offering advanced security, flexible connectivity, and seamless network management. As part of TP-Link's Omada SDN (Software-Defined Networking) ecosystem, the ER605 V2 allows centralized cloud management, making it ideal for businesses requiring scalable, secure, and efficient networking solutions.

Key Features:

• Gigabit Connectivity: The ER605 V2 features five Gigabit ports—one dedicated WAN port, two LAN ports, and two configurable WAN/LAN ports—providing versatile, high-speed wired connectivity for various network setups. Additionally, it has a USB 2.0 port, allowing connection of a 4G/3G modem as a WAN backup, ensuring internet continuity during outages.
  
  
• Multi-WAN Load Balancing: The router supports up to three WAN connections, enabling intelligent load balancing, which distributes traffic across multiple WAN connections based on bandwidth, ensuring efficient use of bandwidth proportion. The USB 2.0 port acts as a backup WAN, maintaining stable internet access.
  
  
• Advanced VPN Support: With support for multiple VPN protocols—including IPsec, OpenVPN, PPTP, and L2TP—the ER605 V2 facilitates secure remote access and inter-office communication. IPsec VPN throughput reaches up to 248.04 Mbps with ESP-SHA2-AES256 encryption, and 224.86 Mbps with ESP-SHA1-AES256 encryption ensuring strong security and optimal performance for remote users.
  
  
• Security and Protection: The router comes equipped with a robust SPI firewall, DoS attack protection (including TCP/UDP/ICMP flood defense and Ping of Death protection), ARP inspection, and URL/keyword filtering to prevent unauthorized access and safeguard sensitive data. Additional security features include IP/MAC binding and VPN passthrough for secure data transmission.
  
  
• High Performance: With support for 150,000 concurrent sessions and the ability to initiate 2,600 new sessions per second, the ER605 V2 ensures fast and efficient data flow, even in busy networks. NAT throughput reaches 1.8 Gbps bi-directionally, delivering smooth traffic management for high-bandwidth applications.
  
  
• Omada SDN Integration: As part of TP-Link’s Omada SDN platform, the ER605 V2 enables centralized, cloud-based network management via the Omada app or hardware controllers like OC200 and OC300. This allows administrators to easily monitor and configure networks from any location. Features like zero-touch provisioning simplify device setup and management across multiple locations.
  
  
• Comprehensive VPN Options: The router supports up to 20 IPsec VPN tunnels and 10 PPTP or L2TP clients, making it a reliable solution for remote workers or inter-office connectivity. The encryption standards include AES128/192/256 and SHA1/SHA2, ensuring secure data transmission over the network.
  
  
• Durable Build & Design: Housed in a compact steel enclosure, the ER605 V2 is fanless, ensuring silent operation and long-term reliability. It is designed for desktop or wall mounting, with 4 kV surge protection to ensure stability in power fluctuations.
• Management Features: Centralized cloud access is available through Omada Hardware Controllers or Omada Cloud-Based Controller, supporting features like dynamic DNS, remote management, scheduled reboots, and configuration backups. Tools like SNMP, ping, and traceroute are integrated for network diagnostics.
