I bought into the Omada ecosystem in 2020, when Ubiquity was hard to buy and had also just had a major breach.

TP-Link has been good about deploying improvements to the ecosystem.

The flipside is those improvements are basic functionality that should have been present in a commercial product from v1. Like the ability to set firewall rules, which came in late 2021 or 22 iirc.

Other issues:

- The Safari interface issue she mentions is a major pain, and it’s a regression.

- All of their equipment has multiple “versions” under the same model number, and the early adopters like me get updates last for some reason.

- Documentation is ok, but logging and troubleshooting is difficult with the limited interface you get.

- DHCP IP reservation was broken until the last release.

I am glad the ecosystem is improving, and I appreciate having visibility into the network from a single pane of glass.

For a home network I can tolerate these issues. But I would be furious if I were trying to run a business network with it.
