Setting Up TP-Link Omada ER605 Router

This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to set up and configure the TP-Link Omada ER605 router for your network. This includes initial setup, configuring WAN and LAN settings, and integrating with the Omada Controller for management.


Step 1: Hardware Setup

  1. Unbox the TP-Link Omada ER605 and ensure you have the power adapter and Ethernet cables.
  2. Connect the router:
    • Plug the power adapter into the ER605 and turn it on.
    • Connect your modem to the WAN1 port of the ER605 using an Ethernet cable to the local network.
    • When connecting the device for the first time the device will take several minutes to boot up, wait for the SYS light to come on.
    • Open the Omada Cloud Website and create the new site/location, followed by adding the device into the cloud service.
    • Wait for the router to fully register within the cloud and you can move to the next step to create your new password followed by updating the WAN information.

Step 2: Access the Web Interface

  1. Open a web browser and enter http://192.168.0.1 in the address bar.
  2. Log in using the default credentials:
    • Username: admin
    • Password: admin (You will be prompted to change the password upon first login 12 digit strong password with upper/lower case letters plus numbers and symbols, the page will reload and you will login with the new credentials)
  3. If the login page does not load, ensure your computer is set to obtain an IP address automatically via DHCP.
