The device also includes user access controls, captive portal authentication, and can be managed locally through the web UI or remotely via the Omada app.

Advantages

Dual 2.5 Gbps ports deliver increased local throughput for bandwidth-intensive tasks and multiple users. Six WAN ports with SFP/RJ45 support and a USB WAN option provide flexible and redundant internet access, while multi-WAN load balancing improves utilization across lines. Built-in support for SSL, GRE, IPSec, PPTP and L2TP plus a hardware VPN engine enhances secure remote connectivity and VPN performance. Integration with Omada SDN enables centralized cloud management, and the Omada app offers guided setup and ongoing monitoring from mobile devices. Access control features including IP/MAC/URL filtering, ACL and captive portal allow precise management of user permissions and network resources.
