TP-Link G36W-4G Omada Pro 4G+ Cat6 AX3000 Gigabit VPN Router
Overview
The G36W-4G is a compact dual-WAN router built for sites that need carrier-grade failover without a rack mount. It combines a Gigabit wired WAN, 4G+ Cat6 LTE (300 Mbps download), and Wi-Fi 6 (574 Mbps combined across 2.4GHz + 5GHz) in a single box. Deploy it at branch offices, retail locations, or remote sites where internet redundancy and SDN controller integration justify the footprint. The nano SIM slot accepts any carrier card; the two detachable LTE antennas and three Wi-Fi antennas give you placement flexibility without re-cabling.
Compatibility
The G36W-4G integrates with TP-Link's Omada SDN controller ecosystem — meaning it reports to the same management plane as Omada switches and access points, simplifying monitoring and policy enforcement across multi-site networks. It supports SSL VPN, OpenVPN, WireGuard, IPsec, PPTP, L2TP, and L2TP-over-IPSec, so it bridges to existing corporate VPN architectures without protocol mismatches. If you run policy-based routing, VLAN segmentation, or load-balancing across multiple uplinks, the static routing and policy routing features handle those without extra appliances.
Installation Notes
Power the unit via a single 12V adapter (exact wattage not specified in evidence). The 1 Gigabit SFP WAN/LAN port and 1 Gigabit RJ45 WAN port are independent — you can use both simultaneously for load balance or failover. The four RJ45 LAN ports support 10/100/1000Mbps auto-negotiation. Insert the nano SIM into the dedicated slot before deployment; the 4G+ modem will negotiate LTE on power-up. No special environmental hardening is listed, so this is indoor-rated only — keep it in a controlled space or weatherproof enclosure if mounting near an exterior wall.
