Nice job on the 3D printing of the rack mount unit. Have been wondering if there was something like that out there. Looks good! Great job creating a solution for that.
Everything is set DHCP on the WAN handoff from my ISP. Home use is how I use mine. I didn’t do much on the WAN port. All of my changes have been segregating my local network from my IoT network via ACLs so all these random smart home devices I have, can’t just get out to the internet whenever they want.
I’m only finding their ER707-M2 model on their website, I assume a slightly updated version from the 702? Nonetheless, that’s great to see. The dual 2.5G WAN ports are sweet.
At the time, my budget was around $1k and Omada filled that perfect. Unifi is great, I install a large majority of their products with my job but they are less budget friendly.
One thing that I really like about it. Devices can be used in standalone mode without a controller. So for some clients, namely low budget, I would get an Omada AP then add more and more until they have the full set
I was looking at one of those after reading some bad reviews and looking at the massive price of the Protectli Vault, Firewalla, UniFi and Mikrotik. The TPLink seems fast enough for my network, the others are very limited in different ways, the UniFi cut the speed by half on one demo. Can this one be set up easily as a home firewall? I want to use it after my incoming fibre and before my home router. At the minute i have a router connected in to a small box that has a fibre from the ISP. It's using PPPoE. Is it really going to have any advantage over a router firewall?
So the small box device that you have connected to the ISP fiber is your ONT. That is what converts the fiber to Ethernet to hand off to your router. You have to have this device in place for most ISPs. The proper way it should be configured is as follows Incoming fiber > ONT > Firewall/Router > Switches As far as if it will have an advantage over what I assume you mean a router that has built in WiFi, that’s up to the user. For me, yes it did because I wanted access points throughout my home and having a single WAP was not sufficient.
Excellent video. Thank you for sharing. Just installed mine this weekend. Greetings from Ontario, Canada
Thanks! I’ve had no issues at all from it! Welcome, from Arkansas, USA

Thanks, Mark! I found the idea from Etsy! You can also buy them already printed from there.
Could show the network configuration page on how you would use WAN for home use please. I want to buy one for home and would like to make sure.

Wow. Never saw this device before.
It’s nice!
The new ER707-M2 is rack-mountable.

How'd you secure it to the strip you printed?
It slots in, cassette style! Haha
Any reason why you would chose Omada over Unifi?
At the time, my budget was around $1k and Omada filled that perfect. Unifi is great, I install a large majority of their products with my job but they are less budget friendly.

whaat is POE?
Power over Ethernet
can you explain how this works or why it might be better? thanks@@AndrewsAmazonFinds
The complete lack of ACL for IPv6 is unfortunately not so great...
IPv6 isn’t used nearly as much as IPv4 but I’m sure as it becomes more used, it’ll be implemented through a software update.
