The TP-Link Festa FR365 is an AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 networking node featuring up to five reconfigurable Gigabit WAN ports and one SFP port for direct fiber ONT termination. Technical specifications indicate throughput of 2402 Mbps on the 5GHz band and 574 Mbps on the 2.4GHz band. Material analysis confirms a chassis design derived from the ER605 series, optimized for VPN stability and multi-ISP load balancing. The system utilizes a separate "Free Cloud" management interface and does not integrate with the Omada SDN platform.
Functional highlights include:
- Connectivity: 5x Gigabit WAN/LAN, 1x SFP, and 1x USB 3.0 WAN.
- VPN Protocols: Integrated support for OpenVPN, PPTP, L2TP, and IPsec.
- Management: Self-organizing network (SON) features via cloud interface.
Aggregated data shows that the CPU is optimized for high session counts and VPN tunnel management. Standardized testing protocols indicate that thermal throttling may occur in unventilated enclosures under high load. The hardware-enforced software limitation prevents its use in existing Omada-managed deployments.
For users who require a similar AX3000 wireless profile but need 2.5G port support, the Archer AX55 Pro serves as a consumer-aligned alternative. This unit is classified as an SMB-grade bridge in the vpn-routers category.
