Set Up Vpn On Spectrum Router

This router model is very solid. We have deployed many and they are very stable and have a great feature set. Really hard to beat for a small network scenario. We've used them for Site to Site VPN, End-User/iPhone L2TP VPN and typical single LAN configurations. They never need to be restarted after power or internet outages. GUI or CLI Management. Rock Solid.

I've been using TP Link for over 8 years now. Prior was using ASUS. I upgraded from Archer CX3200 to this router. This router has a single 2.4 and a single 5 ghz band, but it supports wifi6 which can output over 4200 MBS. First i connected this router to my laptop by ethernet cable. I then used my wifi on the laptop to download in sequence the TP Link firmware updates to my laptop. I then tuend off the wifi and connected by wire to the laptop. to do this easily, I assigned an IP4 address and gateway to my laptop ethernet adapter. The router by default is 192.168.0.1 The box contains the administrator username and password. I kept the router's wifi signals off. Next after logging in, I updated the firmware to the current level, assigned the fixed ip address and max addresses to the new router I was using on my old router. I set up the wifi network names and passwords, guest networks, checked the signal strengths and channels being used in my area and set my wifi to the clearest channel bands. I set up my vpn, firewalls, etc. I set my dns to my preferred public dns and I set up my DHCP server for the range I like. Then I set the router's ip address to 192.168.1.1, shut it down. disconnected my old router, shut down my cable modem, connected the new router, powered it up and then powered up my cable modem. Since my wifi network names and passwords were the same, my devices connected. Also, I enabled the UNP on this router and all of my devices with port forwarding worked well without a glitch. My phone connected at wifi6 band and downloaded at over 600 mbs 15 feet from the router. A big plus for this router is the ability to set up a VPN client and server and specify several VPN connections as well as which devices you want to always use the VPN to pass traffic. For the money, its fast and stable.

TP-Link ER605 V2 Omada Gigabit VPN Router was easy to set up (using it as a standalone router) and basically started working once powered on. The boot cycle is a bit slow (~2-3 mins), but once active there are no issues with all the network devices connected to it. The 4 ports are sufficient for setting up 4 different networks and the streaming devices seem to be more stable (less buffering, more responsive) than before. I should have bought this router years ago.

Easy to set up once I figured figured out that you need to get the MAC address of the router, then enter into your Spectrum account web interface. The modem/router works great otherwise as far as speed- best I have had so far. It is also easy to navigate user interface of router/add ip reservations, see attached devices on the LAN etc.

Very easy to set up and use. Worked well with my Spectrum account. Did have one issue once when the Router reset itself. But, all I needed to do was go to the app on my phone and set it up as if for the first time. No problems after that.

This router/modem Orbi system works great with spectrum. Took only a few minutes really to set it up. If it wasn’t for my Obama phone it would have been faster. So far so good! It looks really clean too!

So far the router is working perfectly. Got this to be able to put my VPN on a router and this made it easy.

Easy product to setup. Well made and easy to configure my VPN which is why I purchased this router.

This router is a great router combo at an affordable cost. Works well with Spectrum!

Spectrum came and set it up. It works like a charm!
