ER7206 Multi-WAN Professional Wired Gigabit VPN Router Increased Network Capacity SPI Firewall Omada SDN Integrated Load Balance Lightning Protection

I purchased this product, hardware version 1.6, more than 2 years ago, and it has been performing perfectly since then without any issues. The product has a good look of design as usual in a rectangular shape that is constructed proportionally so-called Golden Ratio - visually appealing. It supplies a web platform for administrators to manage networks via a very clean visual design of the user interface as well - actionable items or tasks are categorized and arranged very clearly for the administrators quickly locating the tasks to perform such as monitoring the runtime issues or solve specific problems in configurations. I use this product constructing my home network that is pre-wired in Cat. 6 Ethernet in every room, and VLAN segmenting Wi-Fi network from the wired network, my home office, children, and guest accesses. Technically, my review only pertains to the features of WAN/LAN, not VPN yet. This product provides what I need and performs well as expected without any issues. I haven't had chances to try out the other features such as VPN as mentioned before, including Omada SDN Integrated Load Balancer but the load balancing in software configuration will be my next plan to implement. I am definitely confident in its functionality. Also, the manufacture's tech support is very responsive in communications and the solution provided to solve the issue of the firmware update is efficient and quick. Overall, great product and the customer services, two-thumbs up!

Bought mine on June 2024. Year and a half later no problems at all. The room is air conditioned and the router is supplied by an UPS. Working non stop. Excellent piece of equipment.

I'm replacing an out of support Sonicwall with the TP-Link. No real complaints about the Sonicwall other than the cost of the replacement and yearly maintenance being a bit more than I want to spend at this point. Did some research and settled on the TP-Link ER7206. The cost of which is less than a year of Sonicwall support. History dictates one sets aside some time to set something like this up so I blocked out a day and started in the morning. Much to my amazement I was done with the basic setup and had internet connectivity in about 20 minutes. There were more settings to be tweaked of course but that was a really pleasant surprise. Setting up DHCP and assigning static addresses took about another 20 minutes. VPN was a bit more complicated. If I was going to pick one nit with the TP-Link it's that the online help did not always reflect exactly what was in the UI. But that is a minor complaint. The TP-Link ER7206 has been running without issue since the initial setup. I unreservedly recommend this device.

This offers much better VPN speeds (throughput) than the TP-LInk TL-ER605 so if someone is considering buying that model, they should consider this instead for a few dollars more it is much faster with more memory and processing power. Although considered a business product it is well suited for the home. I see many "VPN routers" advertised which actually only support VPN connectivity for connecting into the network where the router resides ONLY as a VPN SERVER - for people to connect to it from the outside through a VPN tunnel - NOT for their router to connect as CLIENT to a VPN tunnel where the other end is a VPN server (for example connecting to an office remotely FROM this router, or connecting directly to an external VPN server for internet access through a VPN service provider). This router does both. For people using a VPN provider for security this is a good option especially as it is smarter to split the WiFi and VPN processing work across two devices so as to minimize the processing load on any one piece of networking equipment. However, at this time, it does not yet support acting as VPN CLIENT to connect to a VPN provider or external VPN server using the OpenVPN standard (that is coming shortly through a firmware update as this is a new product). Note, although the support staff is very responsive in a timely manner, they sometimes do not correctly answer complicated technical questions - for example saying something cannot be done when I have found a way to make it work. Until a recent firmware update which was available a few days ago, this unit would run very hot although it does not anymore after the update. Also this router does not support WOL (Wake On Lan) but for what can be considered a business class Wired VPN Router, that is typically not a requirement. The interface takes a little getting used to, although it does work quite well. This is a quality product, they only reason why I did not give it 5 stars is because of the tech support item mentioned earlier. However, if you have this router you should strongly consider getting the TP-Link Controller (model OC200 (home) or the newer OC300 (business)) - please see my review for the OC300 which I also own.

TP-Link has been a solid brand for a number of years. We have used their switches and Wireless Access Points in the office. Given that modern broadband in urban India can easily cross 300Mbps, cheaper routers are a bad idea. We use this model for sometimes handling hundreds of devices but a minimum of 25. Couple that with modern functionality like Wireguard VPNs and multi-WAN support and you have a winner.

Many types of errors are appearing

Good unit. I have managed to set up a VPN after trial an error. There is not enough tutorial and support information to configure the system. Poor menu system. Really should be USB power supply by now.

very bad experience i had with tp-link omada and er7206 vpn router...totally waste of money. i would like to send it back to the supplier but i dont know i could get refund or no? can the supplier let us know about the refund.
