What's in the box
Product Description
The TL-R480T+ load balance broadband router is a wise choice for small business. It brings you high return on investment with low overhead. Featured with three changeable WAN/LAN ports, TL-R480T+ supports up to 4 WAN ports, which can satisfy various Internet access requirements through one device. TL-R480T+ integrates multiple load balancing strategies, advanced QoS and strong firewall to provide you with consistent network uptime and reliable Ethernet connectivity. Moreover, it is easy to manage the TL-R480T+ via a web-based utility, which makes building and managing your network more convenient.
Three Changeable WAN/LAN Ports
The TL-R480T+ features three changeable ports that can be set to either LAN or WAN, allowing the router to support up to four WAN ports to satisfy various Internet access requirements through one device. The router also has an integrated smart load balancing function which automatically selects the most efficient line according to load and bandwidth requirements, providing users with consistent network uptime and reliable Ethernet connectivity.
Abundant Security Features
For defense against external threats, TL-R470T+ can automatically detect and block Denial of service (DoS) attacks such as TCP/UDP/ICMP Flooding, Ping of Death and other related threats. Moreover, this router provides IP/MAC/URL/Web filtering functions, which forcefully prevent attacks from intruders and viruses. For better management of the internal network, TL-R480T+ allows administrators to set rules to block specific web sites and IM/P2P applications with just one click, and restrict staff to use specific services such as FTP, HTTP and SMTP.
Efficient Access Management
By setting a PPPoE Server to allocate PPPoE accounts to private network users, the router only allows users with legal accounts that have passed authentication to access the Internet. Cooperating with IP-based Bandwidth Control, it is capable of confining bandwidth usage of certain PPPoE accounts. Moreover, the E-Bulletin function is able to release a bulletin in the form of webpage to certain user groups periodically, which notifies the users about the expiration date of the PPPoE account. With the above features, the router will prioritize different users in surfer jurisdictions for more efficient management.
Safety Minded Enterprise Investments
Professional lightning protection technology is designed to prevent electrical surges from penetrating the interior of the device, to be discharged harmlessly into the Earth. This router is designed to prevent lightning damage of up to 4Kv in the well-grounded connection conditions. This feature ensures that networking infrastructure investments remain as safe as possible from one of Mother Nature’s more violent elements.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I put my linksys wireless router in bridge mode and used the DHCP on the tp-link. It load balances the two connections nicely so far, time will tell. One of my LTE routers dies randomly, so this should hopefully help with that and also to if I want to have a big download of one of the connections.
I am glad I got this model over the 470 as it can supposedly handle more connections. The CPU does run pretty high and spikes to 60% quite often and does hit 100% from time to time. I'm also glad I picked this over the linksys and Cisco. I wasn't wanting to spend over $100 on this type of device as I've already spent so much on the LTE setups.
Customer support is overall poor; the unit is a very unusual, and frankly, I don't think they sell enough of them for all the customer service reps to understand them......and, in their defense, there is a lot to understand.
Various versions of the firmware disallow the config file from a previous version to be imported....in other words, they are not backward compatible. New versions will likely require a rebuild of the setup. Keep screen shots of the old one.
Mine ran for about 5 years and then more / less quit; I had a spare of the same version so transition was seamless. My new spare is a new version, and I suspect it won't be quite so easy next time.
Overall, I'm very happy with the unit, as it serves an unusual need elegantly.
I used this to coalesce two AT&T DSL lines (I needed the bandwidth for VOIP). AT&T couldn't get me enough data rate, so I ordered two services, used this load balancer, and all is well with the phones.
Kudos to TP-Link for another reliable product.
* The built-in URL filtering only works with HTTP. No proper per-domain HTTPS filtering support. This is a major nuisance as the world continues to transition away from HTTP. A lot of the blocking is useless, and the Application Control Database is very out of date. There is an option to upload a new one, but there is no new one available, the existing one cannot be downloaded, and the format is not documented anywhere. You can probably extract the file using something like binwalk, reverse engineer it, modify it, and upload a new one, but that should not be necessary.
* The clickable table headers that allow sorting do not show up on Chrome (many versions) on Mac OS X (10.11 - 10.13)
* Some of the tables have silly sort defaults (IP packets: lowest to highest), are are small and cannot be resized
* Although you can name and group devices, the UI insists on showing IP or MAC addresses most places instead of names, requiring extra mousing around or consulting printouts or another pane to determine exactly what device is doing what. Any device should have mouseover hovertext that shows MAC/IP/Name, or something.
* Not compatible with open source router firmware like dd-wrt, OpenWrt, or Tomato, so you're stuck with all the above limitations.

## and it's done only for Amazon.in A++ worked, amazon.in super service
once thanks to amazon.in full Team
I am using this with 2 static IP connections to load balance service.
One big issue I have noticed is when one of the two wan's has poor service, sometimes as low as 2mbps while the other is around 20 mbps. At such times, the router fails to load balance correctly and I see a throughput of around 4-6 mbps and the entire system slows down.
The other big missing piece is the ability to add a 3g dongle straight to the box.
Finally, there should have been a way of switching off a wan when needed. this is seriously missing.
overall an OK router for the money.
