TP-Link Omada ER605 Gigabit VPN Router - Professional Network Security

The TP-Link Omada ER605 (TL-R605) is a professional-grade Gigabit VPN Router designed for small to medium businesses requiring secure, reliable network connectivity. Integrated into the Omada SDN platform, this router delivers centralized cloud management with intelligent monitoring capabilities.

Multi-WAN Connectivity with Load Balancing

Equipped with five Gigabit ports, the ER605 features one dedicated WAN port and two configurable WAN/LAN ports, supporting up to three simultaneous WAN connections. The intelligent load balancing distributes data streams based on bandwidth proportion, maximizing multi-line broadband utilization. An additional USB 2.0 port enables 4G/3G modem connectivity for mobile broadband backup, ensuring continuous internet access.

Enterprise-Grade VPN Capabilities

Security-focused businesses benefit from comprehensive VPN support: 20 IPsec LAN-to-LAN tunnels, 16 OpenVPN connections, 16 L2TP tunnels, and 16 PPTP connections. One-click auto IPsec VPN configuration simplifies deployment while maintaining robust encryption for site-to-site communications. Performance improvements deliver 4-5 times better VPN throughput compared to previous versions, with IPsec reaching 248.04 Mbps using ESP-SHA2-AES256 encryption.

Advanced Security Features

The ER605 implements multiple security layers including SPI firewall protection, DoS defense against TCP/UDP/ICMP flooding, and IP/MAC/URL filtering. IP-MAC binding prevents ARP attacks and spoofing, while 802.1Q VLAN support enables network segmentation. Administrators control access through comprehensive ACL policies based on IP, port, protocol, and domain filtering.

Omada SDN Integration

Centralized management through Omada Hardware Controllers (OC200/OC300), Software Controller, or Cloud-Based Controller provides remote configuration and monitoring. The free Omada mobile app enables network management from any location. Zero-touch provisioning streamlines deployment, while automatic device discovery and intelligent monitoring simplify network administration.

Performance Specifications

The fanless design supports 150,000 concurrent sessions with 2,600 new sessions per second. NAT throughput reaches 945 Mbps for static IP configurations, while maintaining 940 Mbps with PPPoE. The compact steel enclosure (6.2 x 4.0 x 1.0 inches) includes desktop and wall-mount options, consuming only 7.94W maximum power with 4kV surge protection.

Network Management Tools

Built-in DHCP server with address reservation, multi-net DHCP support, and IPv6 compatibility (StaticIP/SLAAC/DHCPv6/PPPoE) ensure flexible network configuration. Dynamic DNS support, SNMP v1/v2c/v3 monitoring, and web-based management interface provide comprehensive administrative control. Bandwidth control, policy routing, and application-optimized routing enhance network efficiency.
