Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the ER7412-M2 different from other Omada routers?
The ER7412-M2 sits at the top of the Omada router range with 8 × 2.5G RJ45 ports, 4 × 10G SFP+ ports, up to 10Gbps NAT throughput, and 3Gbps IPsec VPN throughput. It is purpose-built for enterprise and high-demand SMB environments where standard Gigabit routing is a performance bottleneck.
Can the ER7412-M2 handle multiple internet connections?
Yes. The ER7412-M2 supports multi-WAN with both load balancing and failover. You can connect multiple ISP links — such as NBN fibre and a 4G/5G backup — and configure the router to distribute traffic across them or automatically switch to the backup if the primary connection drops.
Which VPN protocols does the ER7412-M2 support?
The ER7412-M2 supports IPsec, OpenVPN, L2TP, PPTP, and WireGuard. IPsec is recommended for site-to-site tunnels between business locations, while OpenVPN and WireGuard are well-suited for remote access VPN clients on laptops and mobile devices.
Does the ER7412-M2 support BGP and OSPF?
Yes. The ER7412-M2 supports static routing, RIP, OSPF, and BGP, making it suitable for complex multi-site topologies and ISP peering scenarios that require dynamic routing protocols.
Can the ER7412-M2 be managed via the cloud?
Yes. It integrates fully with the Omada SDN platform and can be managed remotely via Omada Cloud, the Omada Software Controller, or the Omada Hardware Controller (OC300). The Omada app provides on-the-go monitoring and management from iOS or Android.
Is the ER7412-M2 compatible with Australian NBN connections?
Yes. The ER7412-M2 connects to your NBN connection box or modem via its WAN ports and is compatible with all NBN connection types including FTTP, FTTN, FTTB, and HFC. Its multi-WAN capability also supports adding a 4G/5G router as a failover link for business continuity.
Does the ER7412-M2 require a separate power supply?
No. The ER7412-M2 has an internal PSU that accepts 100–240V AC, making it compatible with standard Australian power outlets without any additional adapters.
