Connection
Configuration
The router supports two configuration options:
Standalone Mode: Configure and manage the router singly.
Controller Mode: Configure and manage the network devices centrally. It is
recommended in the large-scale network, which consists of mass devices such as
access points, switches, and gateways.
Note : When the router is managed by a controller, configurations of the
router will be overridden by the controller.
Option 1: Standalone Mode
In Standalone Mode, use a computer to configure and manage the router.
- Connect a computer to a LAN port of the router with an RJ45 cable properly. If your computer is configured with a fixed IP, change it to Obtain an IP address automatically.
- Open a web browser and type the default management address 192.168.0.1 in the address field of the browser, then press the Enter key.
- Create a username and a password for subsequent login attempts and for security.
- Use the username and password set above to log in to the webpage.
- After a successful login, you can configure the function by clicking the setup menu on the left side of the screen.
For detailed configurations, refer to the User Guide of the router. The guide
can be found on the download center of our official website:

Option 2: Controller Mode
Controller Mode applies to the large-scale network with mass devices. All devices can be centrally configured and monitored via Omada Software Controller, Omada Hardware Controller, or Omada Cloud-Based Controller. Before managing the router centrally, refer to Standalone Mode to launch the management page, go to Network > WAN, and configure the network to access the internet. For further configurations, please use the controller to manage the devices.
