Improving but needs more focus on UX/UI

The app is getting better but Im sure many of us that may use an iPad with a keyboard for administration through the app would love that it supported landscape mode. This is a simple win that would be greatly appreciated. We all welcome frequent and consistent updates. If there is a feedback area to request these enhancements we would love to know. Thanks!

Buyer Beware

This app is far from able to setup and control the tp-link network devices. For example I just spent two weeks going back and forth woth to-link support trying to setup VLAN on an SG2008 V3 switch. After hours and many emails, their support person suggested I use a browser to log into the SG2008 directly. Then I could set up the VLAN. I just re read the tp-link description provided here on the App Store. No where does it state that is for only minor setup as their support person stated. Shame on tp-link. So much for commercial quality products. Doesn’t their marketing department realize that having a poor performing app is going to lead to much discontent among its customer base?

Portrait only.

Yet *another* app that forces you into portrait mode. As a productivity user who has Omada as a home setup, it probably doesn’t come as a surprise that I tend to use my iPad with a keyboard and typically have my iPad in landscape mode. Unfortunately Apple provides no way to force the rotation of apps made for iPad. Ironically, I can do it for iPhone so I’d rather have the iPhone version of this app than the iPad one but I have no choice to do that too. Leaving a star since I appreciate that they built the app, but it’s so annoying to use; only slightly less so than their web app on iPad. It’s a good web app too, but yet again, poor optimization for iPad.

Very Fast WiFi with a seamless app

I have been selling clients on the Omada system. I’ve been using it long enough to enjoys the updates and how simple it really is to get many antennas setup so quickly. Yes, to do more advanced setups you must use the web browser but that is understandable. Omada has my vote! I am a previous Unifi user that was always wanting a simpler approach for my clients to manage themselves.

Pretty Solid

Everything works pretty smooth obviously it lacks more management tools as far as configurations for each access point, of course the web based version is more advanced but if they keep adding features from the web based it’ll be perfect, tremendous customer support

Works good but could use more info

I like how the information is laid out. But definitely would like to see more instead of logging into the web based controller each time. Also would like to choose custom icons to better organize the device list.

Needs to be available

Not being able to connect to it unless the software is running on a machine renders this app useless. Why have a cloud service if you can’t access it unless some other computer is running all the time???....

Decent, but buggy

Interface is easy to use and manage my devices, but the app drops connection to my local controller a lot and always needs to reconnect. Can be frustrating to use and I need to switch over to the full web interface for most features.

Decent products totally let down by pathetic device control software

I have no idea why this doesn’t work with the TL-R605 security gateway. The device is good but let down by the very poor integration of control. The only way to control locally is web based because of zero support for Mac’s. Very short sighted in 2021. Come on TP-Link. I thought that you actually wanted to be a competitive brand and not just a low cost clone hardware company. Guess not.

Fast and simple

I just set up my 3 access points and OC 200 controller in less than 30 minutes for my RV park. This system is so easy. I previously set up a ubiquiti unifi system that took day s to figure out. I am sold.

New functionality needed

The application does not remember client settings in sort and display options. Each time it will reset the view to its default settings.

Features Missing

On older versions, as far as I remember, you used to be able to change a schedule for any SSID you wanted to. Now with the recent update you can no longer update Wi-Fi schedules or pause Wi-Fi SSIDS through the iOS app. You have to do it through the web based console. Please bring those features back.

Handy tool for IT contractor

Upgraded client’s network to Omada Wednesday. Installed the app this morning and already resolved an issue from my lawn chair. Doesn’t get much better than that!

So user friendly even for dummies!

I’m very happy with the app, not a single issue to setup the entire network and manage it, even easier than the browser! High five!

Speed of network

Can you increase the number you are allowed to put in for the speed of your network? You are max at 1000. I have a 1.2gb per sec network. The speeds are increasing so it needs to be much faster at least 2.5 gb per sec.

Feature request

Handy app. Would be nice to see wireless device signal strength expressed as dBm, not just yellow/green five bars graphic.

Simple, reliable

Pretty feature rich for an AP management app. I use the app to interface with the AP by way of the management controller hosted on an Ubuntu VM. Works much the same way my Ubiquiti app does for controlling my UniFi APs.

Good！

Simple and easy to use, can meet all the network management functions I want.

Decent, missing option to control router

Good app pretty basic, but I would like to be able to control omada compatible routers without having to do it through a software controller

Great app, but…

It’s missing a ton of advanced config features. I have to go on the clunky and difficult to use admin portal. Please add features like batch config for devices, advanced settings (site and device settings).

Need Landscape orientation

Can you please give the app the ability to rotate to landscape orientation? I use an iPad Pro for work, and the ability to rotate the app to landscape orientation would be amazing for use with larger devices. Portrait orientation is awkward for large screens.

Doesn’t work with iPhone

Downloaded the app and followed the instructions. The app requests access to your local network but under settings there is no option to allow it access to your local area network. So the app won’t work.

Unusable with Policy Update

A policy update dropped in which tplink suggests a read before accepting. Problem is the links are broke so you either can’t use the app or have to blindly accept new terms without reading.

Please add 2FA

We definitely need 2FA for more security. Please consider TP-Link..

Crashes when accessing local controller

When I tap on a local controller the app immediately crashes. I was able to access the controller without issue in a previous version of the app.

No horizontal view?

App is ok but why can’t it be rotated, that’s a pretty basic feature…

Not all settings are available

Cannot switch VPN on or off. Lots of settings missing from the iOS app.

Be nice is it worked with 2FA

Would be nice if it was updated to work with two factor authentication.

Stopped working

It used to work on my Oc200 with firmware 1.2.3, but now it doesn’t. Can’t log in to the device locally using this app. I get an unrelated error message about getting logged out every time I try.

Firmware Update

The update caused the owner not to be able to do anything in the app even on the web based site it has locked the owners out.

Changing primary WAN

No way to change primary WAN (ISP currently connected to) from within the app.

Stopped recognizing AP

Suddenly stops recognizing AP. I have only one AP and connected to it but this app has a mind of its-own.

Useless for standalone

The standalone ap page shows me as connected to the wlan of the device and then lower down tells me I’m not connected to a wlan.

Completely Useless

I have an eap610. My iPhone can see and connect to the eap610, but the Omada cannot find it.

Connection Lost

Support to get the app to work or configure an EAP245 is worthless! Each Live Support person times out on me.

Doesn’t work

Says it’s connected to the EAP WAN but then below that says you must connect to the EAP WAN

Good, continuing to improve

TP-Link continues to improve their product. This review is based on v4.16.24. Convenient new features are released with corresponding controller updates, but some issues persist. Dark mode finally added. Bugs/Issues Include: Not able to set wireless network security to PPSK or modify PPSK profiles. • When creating a wireless network, unable to select “WPA 2 Only” encryption - must select “WPA/WPA2” which is less secure or “WPA2/WPA3-SAE” which some clients don’t support. • List of wireless clients no longer shows which EAP each client is connected to. This is a step backwards! • Client history only includes time and duration - no longer includes dates. This is a step backwards!

Awesome overall but needs work

Bought the Omada system a few days ago, ER605 router, OC200 controller, and SG2218 switch. I played around with the ER605 in standalone mode for a couple of days and there's a lot of awesome features packed into it. However, a lot of those features are missing in the Omada control panel/GUI. For example, ARP Spoofing Defense, Flow Control, manual Duplex selection on the gigabit ports, WAN Failover Ping and DNS Query settings, and several others. There's also a slight issue with bandwidth for those getting full gigabit speeds from their ISP. My previous gaming wireless router easily gave us 940Mbps peak over Ethernet. The Omada system, however, only allows up to 700-800Mbps peak. If I remove the OC200 controller and just use the ER605 in standalone mode, I can disable ARP Spoofing Defense, enable Flow Control on the WAN, and we get the speeds we should be getting. We're not the only Omada users experiencing this issue. Additionally, the Omada GUI through a web browser is not optimized for tablets and super clunky. It will randomly scroll when you're trying to do something, hint buttons pop up and then disappear within a split second so you can't read anything, the overall aspect ratio doesn't fit iPad and crops out content, and so on. Overall, TP-Link Omada is potentially a formidable competitor to UniFi. However, these bugs, lack of features, and bandwidth issues need to be ironed out. I believe they can be.

Needs some real improvements

One you can edit items names of the name that’s on your APs for some reason it works on a few ….. Two the stand alone APs set up works from time to time where you you can’t turn the the LED on and off and let not get on the the cloud connection that works when it feels like it.You can migrate or let alone connect to your APs .So over all the desk top app and the Mobile app needs a real overhaul to fix simple problems that making the app look bad in my eyes. There’s no such thing as improvements if you never correct the problems

Description

Omada app is used for configuring and managing your Omada devices. You can change settings, monitor the network status and manage clients, all from the convenience of a smart phone or tablet. STANDALONE MODE Standalone mode is designed for managing EAPs right away without having to spend time configuring a controller. Each EAP is managed separately. This mode is recommended for networks which only have a few EAPs and require only basic functions, such as home network. CONTROLLER MODE Controller mode works together with a software Omada Controller or a hardware Cloud Controller, and is suitable for managing multiple Devices(EAPs,routers or switches) centrally. Controller mode allows you to configure and automatically synchronize unified wireless settings to all devices in the network. Compared to Standalone Mode, more configuration options are available in Controller mode. You can manage your network in Controller mode in two ways: via Local Access or Cloud Access. In Local Access mode, the Omada app can manage the devices when the Controller and your mobile device are in the same subnet; in Cloud Access mode, the Omada app can access the Controller across the internet so you can manage your devices wherever you are. Compatibility List: Controller Mode currently supports software Omada Controller v3.0.2 and above and hardware Cloud Controller (OC200 v1). Standalone Mode currently supports the following models (with latest firmware): EAP660 HD (EU)/(US) V1 EAP620 HD (EU)/(US) V2/V1 EAP265 HD (EU)/(US) V1 EAP245 (EU)/(US) V3/V2/V1 EAP235 (EU)/(US) V1 EAP225 (EU)/(US) V3/V2/V1 EAP115 (EU)/(US) V5/V4/V2/V1 EAP110 (EU)/(US) V5/V4/V2/V1 EAP225-Outdoor (EU)/(US) V2/V1 EAP110-Outdoor (EU)/(US) V4/V3/V1 EAP235-Wall (US) V1 EAP230-Wall (EU)/(US) V1 EAP115-Wall (EU) V1 EAP225-Wall (EU) v2 *The latest firmware is required and can be downloaded from https://www.tp-link.com/omada_compatibility_list. More devices supported by the app are coming soon!
