Omada Gateway & Controller in One, Fusion 2.5G

The Fusion Gateway and controller are super easy to set up. Some things you have to login from a PC to set up and cannot be done in the app. The screen is a nice feature, but have not really used it because the rack is higher up. Hopefully they come out with the rackmount soon. I set up a lot of Ubiquity when they came out but have not anything with them recently this has been a lot easier to set up. The only regret is, I wish I would’ve gotten the POE version of this to go to the excess points to take better advantage of the 2.5g my current switch isn’t 2.5

Love that the controller is integrated. Cleans up my area and it was easy to set up and get added to my network.

Great balance for single site deployments. Controller and DHCP on one device brings all the layer 3 integration I've been wanting for a while.

I had to replace my old router because it was definitely starting to show its age. It had served me well for years, but I wanted something more modern, especially with cloud management and an easier way to set up and manage VPNs.

I had also just purchased the Omada SG3218XP-M2 v2.0 switch to replace my old switch and take advantage of 2.5Gbps speeds, so it made sense to stay with the Omada ecosystem and manage everything from one place.

The price was right, and installation was surprisingly easy and straightforward. I really like the LCD display on the gateway, which gives you quick access to information such as temperature, upload/download speeds, and other system details. It’s a nice feature that you don't always see on networking equipment in this price range.

Setting up VLANs was also very easy. I was able to separate my work devices from all of my IoT devices without any hassle, which was one of the main reasons I wanted to upgrade.

I currently only have 300Mbps Internet, but I like knowing that I'm no longer limited to 1Gbps when fiber eventually becomes available. With support for up to 2.5Gbps, this gateway should give me plenty of room to grow and makes it feel pretty future-proof for my needs.

I'm also planning to add some Wi-Fi 7 Omada access points to complete the setup. I know newer versions of this gateway are coming with features like PoE and additional ports, but honestly, the current model does everything I need right now. Being able to manage everything remotely from pretty much anywhere is a huge plus.

Overall, I'm really impressed with how much functionality Omada packed into such a small device. For the price and what it offers, it has been a great upgrade and fits perfectly into my new Omada setup.

Easy setup. Vlans, 3AP's, 3 switches..so far no issues. Also setup Openvpn, ipv6, ddns, port forwarding, and dpi for applications. . Awesome device.
