The TP-Link ER706W (or ER706W-4G) is a business-grade, AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Gigabit VPN router designed for small-to-medium businesses and prosumers. It acts as a central gateway for Omada Software Defined Networking (SDN), featuring 6 Gigabit ports (WAN/LAN configurable) and high-security VPN capabilities.

Yes, the TP-Link ER706W (and ER706W-4G) is a 1Gbps Gigabit VPN router. It supports AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 (2402 Mbps on 5 GHz + 574 Mbps on 2.4 GHz).​

It features 6 total Gigabit Ethernet ports (1x SFP, 1x RJ45 WAN, 4x RJ45 WAN/LAN) that support up to 1000 Mbps speeds for wired connectivity. 

All new and existing Business Broadband subscribers are eligible.

The first unit (router) of TP-Link ER706W is rent-free with contract subscription. ​
Depending on scenario, one-time on-site charge of $162 applies per delivery and/or installation appointment, prices inclusive of GST. 

There is service commitment for the rental (24/36 months). Subscribers can change to other router at any point in time. One-time on-site service charge of $162 applies, price inclusive of GST.​

We recommend up to 20 concurrent devices at any time. As with any Business Broadband service, the bandwidth will be shared among all the connected devices. If there is any high download among the devices, other devices may experience slow access. Users can utilize the TP Link Omada app to view connected devices and its upload and download speeds and give specific device bandwidth priority.​

TP-Link ER706W can be StarHub owned and StarHub managed (day 2 support provided), StarHub owned and customer managed (day 2 support provided) or customer owned and customer managed (excludes day 2 support).

Unfortunately, it cannot with other brands, but it can work with other TP Link Omada Access Points. ​

The TP-Link Omada app provides mobile, centralized management for TP-Link Omada networking devices, allowing users to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot access points, switches, and routers. It supports both standalone setup for small networks and cloud-based, multi-site management for large-scale deployments.

Yes, FE will install and setup the TP-Link ER706W devices during the service activation appointment.​

If you forget your TP-Link Omada Account password, use the "Forgot Password" option on the TP-Link Cloud login page to initiate a reset via email. If the controller is local, you can use the configured email server for password recovery. For hardware, factory resetting the device via the physical button (10 seconds) restores default credentials (admin/admin). ​

If you forget your TP-Link Omada web management password, use the "Forgot Password" option on the login page, which sends a reset link to your registered email. If cloud access is not configured, you must perform a factory reset by holding the physical reset button on the device for about 10 seconds until the LED flashes. 

Customers may request to take over the router ownership from StarHub, while StarHub continues to provide Day 2 support. After the takeover, the customer will receive the router’s user ID and password, allowing them to download and install the latest firmware from the vendor’s website. If the router fails after the takeover, the customer will need to request a StarHub onsite visit, which will be chargeable.

To log in to the TP-Link Omada app, download it from the app store, then log in using your TP-Link ID for remote/cloud access. For local control, navigate to the "Local Access" tab, tap the "+" sign, and input your controller’s IP address or scan its QR code.​

Steps for Logging In:​

• Cloud Access (Remote/Local):​
  1. Open the Omada app and select "Cloud Access".​
  2. Log in using your TP-Link ID.​
  3. If you do not have an account, select "Sign Up" to create one.​
  4. Once signed in, any controller bound to your account will appear for you to select.​
     
     
• Local Access (Direct Connection):​
  1. Connect your phone to the Wi-Fi network where the controller is located.​
  2. Open the app and select "Local Access".​
  3. Tap the + icon to scan the QR code on the bottom of the controller.​
  4. Alternatively, use the "Manual" tab to enter the controller's IP address and credentials.​

To improve the Wi-Fi range of the TP-Link ER706W, optimize antenna positioning (45-degree angle), place the unit centrally and elevated, and minimize interference from walls or electronics. Further, update firmware, switch to less congested channels (2.4GHz for range, 5GHz for speed), and utilize Omada Mesh for expanded coverage.

• Positioning and Physical Adjustments​
  • Optimal Placement: Position the ER706W in an open, central location, away from walls and metal objects to minimize signal obstruction.​
  • Elevate the Unit: Place the router on a shelf or mount it higher up, as signals tend to travel better downwards and outwards.​
  • Antenna Orientation: Adjust the antennas to a 45-degree angle or straight up (0 degrees) for the best multi-story coverage.​
  • Avoid Interference: Keep the router away from electronic devices that produce electromagnetic noise, such as microwaves, cordless phones, and monitors.​
• Configuration Improvements​
  • Update Firmware: Regularly update the router's firmware via the Omada app or web interface to ensure optimal performance and receive range improvements.​
  • Channel Optimization: Change the wireless channel to a less congested one to reduce interference.​
  • Adjust Bandwidth: For better stability, you may need to adjust the channel bandwidth in the wireless settings. ​
• Extending Coverage​
  • Omada Mesh Network: As the ER706W is part of the Omada ecosystem, add other Omada-compatible Access Points (APs) to create a seamless mesh network, which is the most effective way to extend range.​
  • Range Extenders: Use a TP-Link range extender placed halfway between the router and the dead zone to boost coverage. ​
