TP-Link Festa

awesome system. setup dual WAN with loadsharing in minutes, not hours. next is to try a VPN connection for my site. Wifi was easy too setup one AP with 5g/2.5/guest networks. when I connected a second AP it automatically configured it for me, same thing with the outdoor AP as well. Great job guys! Now let's not go and spoil things by charging us for the free cloud service. I don't mind paying the extra price for the equipment, the thought and engineering is rock solid.

festa lacks basic, expected configuration settings (i.e. master list of dhcp reservations to be able to remove a reservation from a missing device), dlna is missing so if you have media devices on separate vlans you are out of luck. Festa could have been great, tplink dropped the ball on this one. Now, as they have discontinued Festa, TP-Link needs to change the firmware for the festa devices to be able to use on Omada! please make this happen TP-Link!

⭐☆☆☆☆ Never Again – TP-Link Held My Internet Hostage This app is a trap. Out of the box there’s no password, no proper manual, no sticker with defaults — just a “quick start guide” that funnels you into TP-Link’s Festa/Omada cloud. While you’re wasting hours trying to set up your Wi-Fi, the thing is happily hijacking your internet and talking to TP-Link’s servers. Even after a reset, the controller overrides your settings and refuses to broadcast a wifi signal
