The Omada Pro G36 is a fanless Gigabit VPN gateway for sites managed in Omada Pro. Six Gigabit ports, one of them SFP, give you room for multiple ISP links or a fiber hand-off, and a rackmount kit comes in the box.

Built for multi-WAN Omada Pro sites

One Gigabit WAN, four Gigabit LAN/WAN and one Gigabit SFP WAN/LAN port can be mixed as WAN or LAN, with load balancing, link backup and online detection when a circuit drops. NAT throughput is about 940 Mbps with 150,000 concurrent sessions, and a USB 3.0 port takes an LTE dongle for cellular backup. VPN covers IPsec, SSL, OpenVPN, L2TP, PPTP and WireGuard. Managed by an Omada Pro controller, it shares one dashboard with Omada Pro switches and access points, and zero-touch provisioning works through the Omada Pro cloud controller.

Key features

  • Six Gigabit ports: 1 x Gigabit WAN, 4 x Gigabit LAN/WAN and 1 x Gigabit SFP WAN/LAN
  • Load balancing and failover: intelligent load balance, application-optimized routing, link backup and online detection
  • VPN set: IPsec, SSL VPN, OpenVPN, L2TP, PPTP and WireGuard
  • USB 3.0 port: supports a USB LTE dongle for cellular backup and USB storage
  • Fanless steel case: 4.5 W without USB, 7.5 W with USB 3.0 connected
