Setting Up MyPlace on TP-Link Omada Controllers
Integrating MyPlace with your TP-Link Omada controller gives you a fully branded guest Wi-Fi login with centralized control and monitoring. Whether using a local or cloud-based controller, the setup process only takes a few steps.
Once connected, you’ll be able to assign locations, customize the guest portal, and view visitor analytics directly in your MyPlace dashboard.
Adding an Omada Controller to MyPlace
Requirements:
- Cloud controller: use the host URL (e.g. https://use1-omada-cloud.tplinkcloud.com)
- Local controller: must use an external/public IP address (not a private 192.x.x.x IP)
- Authentication: either• Username + Password (for cloud setup), or• Client ID + Client Secret + Controller ID (for Omada controllers with Open API setup, v5.12+ only)
Step 1: Determine Controller Type
Confirm if you’re using:
- A cloud-hosted controller (accessed via Cloud ), or
A locally hosted controller with an external IP address.
Step 2: Gather Credentials
- For cloud controllers: use your admin username and password.
- For local controllers with Open API (v5.12+):
- Log in to Omada
- Go to: Global View → Settings → Platform Integration → Open API
- Create an Open API application and copy the following:
- Client ID
- Client Secret
- Controller ID (labeled as omadac_id in MyPlace)
Step 3: Add the Controller to MyPlace
- Go to the Networks page in your MyPlace account.
- Select the Network Controller tab.
- Choose TP-Link Omada from the list.
- Paste in your required credentials (based on cloud or local method).
- Enter your hostname (for cloud) or external IP (for local).
Step 4: Complete Setup
Once the credentials are confirmed, you’ll see the controller appear in your account and can proceed to assign locations and SSIDs.
