About this app

Omada app is used for configuring and managing your Omada devices. You can change settings, monitor the network status and manage clients, all from the convenience of a smart phone or tablet.

STANDALONE MODE
Standalone mode is designed for managing EAPs or wireless routers right away without having to spend time configuring a controller. Each device is managed separately. This mode is recommended for networks which only have a few EAPs (or wireless routers) and require only basic functions, such as home network.

CONTROLLER MODE
Controller mode works together with a software Omada Controller or a hardware Cloud Controller, and is suitable for managing multiple devices (including gateways, switches and EAPs) centrally. Controller mode allows you to configure and automatically synchronize unified settings to the devices in the network. Compared to Standalone Mode, more configuration options are available and supports to manage more devices in Controller mode.
You can manage devices in Controller mode in two ways: via Local Access or Cloud Access. In Local Access mode, the Omada app can manage devices when the Controller and your mobile device are in the same subnet; in Cloud Access mode, the Omada app can access the Controller across the internet so you can manage your devices wherever you are.

Compatibility List:
The controller mode currently supports hardware cloud controllers (OC200 V1, OC300 V1), software Omada Controller v3.0.2 and above. (To experience more features support and more stable services, we recommend that you upgrade your controller to a new version).

EAP245 (EU)/(US) V1
EAP225 (EU)/(US) V3/V2/V1

Ratings and reviews

the app was working fine (for years !)until last update, now I frequently need to clear cache and app data to be able to login again. it won't even try to login; immediately returns connection failed, even when I'm logged in the local network where the controller is fiscally installed. no problems on the web portal..

Update: it seems that cloud access via the app nog longer works as before. I am able to access my controller via a browser but in the app, it looks like it wants me to add another controller for cloud and it is not pulling in my devices. Weird. Worked fine before, no changes in my setup, cloud access is clearly enabled. Old: Nice app, works well. As others have mentioned, it would be great if you could name the clients. And while we're at it, be able to change the icons as in the Tether app.

App seems OK. It seems very limited in its ability to control and troubleshoot routers, but that may not be a fault of this app, it could be a limitation of Omada. I would like to have more customization for notifications. Ie if hardware goes offline besides just the controller. I work with Cisco Meraki and Cradlepoint daily. Being so accustomed to those platforms leaves me wanting much more.
