TP-Link Omada 3-in-1 Gigabit VPN Router with 8 PoE+ Ports & Controller | ER7212PC
The TP-Link Omada ER7212PC combines a Gigabit VPN gateway, an 8-port PoE+ output and an Omada controller in one fanless unit. It has up to 12 Gigabit ports (2× SFP WAN/LAN, 1× WAN, 1× WAN/LAN, 8× PoE+ LAN), a 110 W PoE budget, load balancing on up to 4 WAN ports, and centrally manages up to 24 Omada devices.

3-in-1: Gateway + PoE+ + Controller: Eight 802.3at PoE+ LAN ports with a 110 W total budget power Omada access points, cameras and other PoE devices directly, while the built-in controller manages up to 24 Omada devices (2 gateways and 22 switches and EAPs in total). One ER7212PC can replace a separate router, PoE switch and controller.
Multi-WAN and Fiber: Two Gigabit SFP WAN/LAN slots plus Gigabit RJ45 WAN ports allow up to 4 WAN connections with intelligent load balancing, link backup and online detection. NAT throughput is about 940 Mbps.
VPN and Security: IPsec (20 tunnels, about 990 Mbps), SSL VPN (80 tunnels), OpenVPN, L2TP, PPTP and WireGuard, plus signature-based IPS/IDS, DPI with 2421 application types, URL filtering, stateful ACL and flood defense.
Cloud Management, Fanless Design: Manage the whole network through the Omada app or web with cloud access. The steel, fanless enclosure runs silently and mounts on a desk, wall or rack (rackmount kit sold separately).
Who it's for / Works with: Homes and small businesses that want one box for internet, PoE power and centralized Omada management, for example with a few Omada ceiling, wall-plate or outdoor access points.
Good to know: There is no built-in Wi-Fi; add Omada access points for wireless. The built-in controller manages up to 24 Omada devices. The SFP ports do not support direct-attach cables (DAC). The rackmount kit is not included. PoE budget figures are from laboratory testing.
