I'm also an Omada fan. I just have two APs right now but I love controlling them from a single dashboard and look forward to adding their ER605 router so I can put my security cameras on a separate VLAN.
I had been shaky in my opinion of them, being a China-based company, but after hearing the rave reviews I had to give them a shot. I've been nothing but happy and impressed. Wi-Fi APs are supposed to serve a few basic purposes, and serve them well. TP-Link has a winner so far in Omada.
I just need to get my controller setup now, so I can play with the dashboard. I had heard some features are missing from the controller that are on the AP web interface though. Which of them had you noticed missing?
Why Omada over Unifi? Aren’t they mostly the same? Both need a controller running somewhere, and not sure why one would be better/worse than the other.
Actually not true. Omada has the ability to be controlled from a controller, but it is not required. It has a built-in web administration panel. Beyond that TP-Link just puts out a solid product, at a solid price point, without all the constant issues you tend to get with how Ubiquiti keeps mucking with their firmware.
