This setup doesn't require an Omada controller to manage the TP-Link ER605 does it? As the AP SSID is just manually set in the RT-AC65P - correct? Thanks
I do have wires everywhere. Built the house ~20+ years ago before WiFi was as dominant. At least two pairs of drops in every room. Ironically my Samsung fridge and range are now "smart" with WiFi notifications - I predicted the smart appliances over 20 years ago but didn't predict that they...
I'm in a similar situation: used to use a RT-N66U with Merlin FW - it was great for my needs. But then:
Needed more coverage area in a bigger house and something that still had firmware updates (for compliance) so moved to a two-node Orbi mesh (wired backhaul)
Orbi was "ok", not super great...
