Works well
Great WAN router. Easy to set up and absolutely kills it for speed on my FTTP NBN home connection. Better than Telstra Smart Modem (as long as you don’t need a home phone land line) Great 5 year warranty.

At a glance
The TP-LINK ER605 is a wired multi-WAN VPN router designed for home offices and small businesses that need stronger uptime, secure remote access, and centralised management. Its key strengths are load balancing, WAN failover, cloud control, and solid wired performance up to 905 Mbps TCP throughput. A limitation is that it is a wired-focused router, so Wi-Fi requires a separate access point.

Things to consider
This router is best for wired networking and gateway management; users wanting built-in Wi-Fi, advanced DPI-based enterprise routing, or higher-end specialist VPN capacity may prefer a more premium model.
Compatibility with major brands
Works with standard Ethernet networking gear and is especially well suited to TP-LINK Omada switches and access points.
Ease of setup score
8/10 - straightforward for basic deployment, with cloud and app management helping setup, though advanced WAN and VPN settings may need networking knowledge.
Home office suitability
9/10 - excellent for home offices needing stable wired networking, VPN access, and internet failover, but Wi-Fi requires separate hardware.
Upgrade flexibility
8/10 - flexible for growing networks thanks to multi-WAN, USB backup, VLAN support, and Omada ecosystem integration.
Durability vs category average
Above average - built for ongoing small business and managed network use, with a 5 year manufacturer's warranty adding long-term confidence.
Key benefits
- Multi-WAN Support: Lets you balance traffic across multiple internet connections or switch over during an outage to help keep your network online.
- Five Gigabit Ports: Provides high-speed wired connections for computers, switches, NAS units, and other network devices.
- VPN Support: Enables secure site-to-site and remote-access connections using IPsec, OpenVPN, L2TP, and PPTP options.
- Cloud Management: Allows remote configuration and monitoring through the Omada cloud platform and app.
- USB WAN Backup: Supports a compatible 4G/3G modem on the USB port for mobile broadband failover.
- Built-In Security Tools: Includes SPI firewall, DoS defence, and IP/MAC/URL filtering to help protect your network from common threats.
- Wired Throughput: Delivers up to 905 Mbps TCP throughput for fast wired data transfers in everyday business use.
- Omada SDN Integration: Fits into a broader managed network setup, making it easier to scale with compatible switches and access points.
Q: Can ER605 replace a typical all-in-one Wi-Fi modem router?
A: No. ER605 is a wired router only, so it does not provide Wi-Fi and may still need a modem or NBN handoff device depending on your internet service. It suits setups that use separate wireless access points.
Q: How does ER605 load balancing work with more than one internet service?
A: ER605 can spread traffic across its WAN connections or switch to a working link if one service drops. It improves overall network availability, but a single download or video call will usually still use one WAN path at a time.
Q: Is ER605 fast enough for Gigabit NBN on a wired network?
A: ER605 has TCP throughput of 905 Mbps. That suits fast wired internet plans, but actual speed also depends on the NBN connection type, the modem or NTD in use, and whether traffic is being processed through VPN features.
Q: Will a 4G USB modem work as backup internet?
A: Yes. ER605 supports WAN backup through a compatible 4G or 3G USB modem connected to its USB port. Mobile broadband is not built in, so backup performance depends on the modem used and carrier coverage at the site.
Q: Which VPN types does ER605 support for remote access?
A: ER605 supports IPsec, OpenVPN, L2TP and PPTP VPN connections. That gives flexibility for site-to-site links and remote access, but the client device or software still needs to support the same protocol and be configured correctly.
Q: Can it separate staff, guest and device traffic with VLANs?
A: Yes. ER605 supports VLANs, which lets one wired network be split into separate segments for staff, guests or devices. To keep those networks separate across the whole site, connected switches and access points also need VLAN support.
