Hi guys have any of you played around with TP-Link ER605 or ER8411 before?

TP-Link Omada based solution (VPN router, switch, AP controller and AP) should be quite okay based on the reviews I read.

But they are not popular in this forum. Typical users may only look at consumer solutions. Those who will look at TP-Link Omada solution for home use will probably choose Ubiquiti Unifi based solution instead.

BTW, ER605 (1Gbps capable only, very low end in the Omada lineup) and ER8411 (10Gbps capable, higher end in the Omada lineup) are just two different class of product. The price is very different, not so sure why you are looking at them at the same time.

10G switches with good value (not necessarily cheap)

Damn that is a nice little unit compared to UDM size. No sign of them on their SG site, would definitely think about replacing my UDM with one.

I pre-ordered it through Ace

https://aceperipherals.com/products/ubiquiti-ucg-fiber-30w-10gbe-unifi-cloud-gateway-fiber

Supposedly getting in May 2025 .. Lets see

Would it be local set or US set?

interestingly I emailed the Singapore distributors and resellers
https://www.ui.com/distributors/
They mentioned it is not in stock and no way to preorder. Perhaps only June onwards then check with them again.

Flashed the EN firmware for the 2 switches I have, must say it's better designed than the hasvio ones. Configuration was retained.

Only odd thing is, can't seem to be able to upload to image 1, without first having to make it active (unlike how HPE does it).

I have flashed the EN firmware but after rebooted, the login page is in EN language, but once I'm login to the switch configuration page, every menu is still in Chinese language. Donno why...

I just bought from TGN on Shopee, next day delivery... so wonder where they source it from. Will find out tomorrow maybe!

Also Jake just did a review of it:

Got the Cloud Gateway Fiber! Such a nice little device - was so easy to replace my UDM Pro (backup config, restore config - just a few clicks and it was back up and running!). Saved half the space on my shelf since the UDM Pro is so wide.

Starhub -> UCG Fiber (SFP+ RJ45 module) -> Mikrotik CRS304-4XG-IN (10GB RJ45 Port) -> EB810v + other LAN stuff.

After connecting that up - now have available 4x 2.5gbit RJ45 ports on the UCG Fiber, 3x 10gbit RJ45 ports on the Mikrotik, and with the EB810v chained off the Mikrotik I can use its 10GB RJ45 LAN port in another room.

Nice! That's my plan too

This win the "Alta. ..ahem ahem labs..." 10G router anytime.

The polish on Unifi software just makes their software seemed even more amateur.

I still suggest the mini-rack to mount this!

Got the TP-Link TL-SX1008 to connect my entire house with 10gbps. Checked the box, its a v3 model now, and the fans are super quiet, compared to the earlier versions that were reviewed to be loud. The Cat6 cables in my walls are at least 13 years old by now, pleasantly surprised it can hit 10gbps on iperf too!


Now waiting for the UCG Fiber to be in stock locally before changing out the Starhub provided TP Link router since it is a POS.

It does I think but its really quiet I can hardly tell.

Oh another bonus with UCG - it's POE port can power my Mikrotik - one less power adapter
