TP-LINK OMADA - ER605 - Gigabit Multi-WAN VPN Router (Omada Gateway)
Product Features
The TP-Link ER605 is an Omada gigabit multi-WAN VPN router with five gigabit ports, USB 4G backup and IPsec, OpenVPN and WireGuard VPN, managed with Omada SDN.
ER605 — TP-Link Omada Gigabit Multi-WAN VPN Router
The TP-Link ER605 is an Omada gigabit VPN router for small offices, with five gigabit RJ45 ports (1 WAN, 2 WAN/LAN, 2 LAN) and a USB 2.0 port for 4G LTE dongle backup. TP-Link quote 150,000 concurrent sessions, around 940 Mbps NAT throughput and IPsec, OpenVPN, WireGuard, L2TP and PPTP VPN, all manageable through Omada SDN.
What the ER605 is for
The ER605 is the entry point to TP-Link's Omada business networking range: a wired tp link router that sits between your broadband line and the office network. Up to three of its ports can act as WAN, so you can load balance two or three internet lines or keep one as a backup, and a USB 4G dongle can take over if every fixed line drops.
It has no Wi-Fi of its own, so it is usually paired with Omada access points and an Omada switch. Run it standalone through its web interface, or adopt it into an Omada controller or Omada Cloud to manage the router, switches and APs from one place, including SD-WAN site-to-site links between branches.

What you will need
Network cable for each link, your broadband modem or ONT on the WAN port, and a switch if you need more than two or three wired devices. For Wi-Fi add Omada access points. For central management you will need an Omada controller (software, hardware OC200/OC300 or Omada Cloud).
Buying from Zenith Security Co.
We are a supplier, not an installer. We will go through the ER605 with you before you buy, checking how many WAN lines you have, the VPN you need and how it fits with your switches and access points, and depending on your requirements and your area we can recommend a qualified trade installer. We have been operating since 2012 and you can visit our trade counter in Wolverhampton.
How many WAN ports does the TP-Link ER605 have?
It has one dedicated gigabit WAN port and two gigabit WAN/LAN ports, so up to three wired internet connections can be load balanced or used as backup. A USB 4G LTE dongle can add mobile backup.
What VPN does the ER605 support?
TP-Link list IPsec (20 tunnels), PPTP and L2TP (16 tunnels each), OpenVPN (50 tunnels) and WireGuard (20 tunnels). Measured IPsec throughput is around 260 Mbps with SHA1/SHA256-AES256 and WireGuard around 123 Mbps.
Is the ER605 an Omada router and does it need a controller?
Yes, it is part of the Omada SDN range. It works standalone through its own web page, or can be adopted by an Omada software controller, hardware controller or Omada Cloud. SD-WAN works only in controller mode.
What throughput does the ER605 give?
TP-Link quote NAT (PPPoE) throughput of 939.71 Mbps upload and 939.43 Mbps download, so it can run a gigabit broadband line at close to full speed.
Does the ER605 have Wi-Fi?
No. It is a wired router. For built-in Wi-Fi see the ER706W, or add Omada access points.
