TRENDnet Gigabit Multi-WAN VPN Business Router, TWG-431BR, 5 x Gigabit Ports, 1 x Console Port, QoS, Inter-VLAN Routing, Dynamic Routing, Load-Balancing, High Availability(Renewed)

I have two of these routers, configured for High-Availability, using four different WANs for my home computer lab. Living in rural Oklahoma, my ISP provider options are very limited, and after 14 years of unsatisfactory satellite internet, I made a huge leap of faith and ordered four different cell phone modems/gateways. Hoping that Google Fi would work with the modems, I am very satisfied with the performance I am getting. It's a far cry from fiber, or even cable or DSL, but it's better than what I was getting, and cheaper to boot. But I'm not reviewing them here, but this multi-WAN router from TrendNET.The router is a solid performer, with stable firmware that handles things well. The user interface could be improved, as some of the common features are a couple of layers down the menu system, but for all that, it does what you expect. The HA system is very easy to configure, as are the multiple WAN settings. Load balancing functions could be better explained, but, even though I have not examined the logs to compare them, I can notice differences in the options they provide.I am very satisfied with these routers, and I do recommend them.

I did not find it possible to set this up. I could only get the first port working for internet access, but the manual does not provide enough instructions to set up the additional ports. Also, for some reason, the ip address on it changed and then the box would not reset to factory settings by holding the reset button 15seconds or any number of seconds. Had to return it.

We use these for our mid level home automation systems, they are solid performers. We setup a number of VLANS and most devices are controlled via IP commands, haven't had any issues yet, systems are fast and responsive.Yes the user interface is a bit dated, but it has all that's needed for that mid level network.

worked as advertized.

Couldn't find enough community support to get this to do what I needed it to do... Had to return it...

Ten minutes out of the box and I am already returning it. The interface is archaic, the router also relies on Router Limits for part of its functionality, well RL was bought out by Bark and sunset on 3/31/23 so this router is useless.

I am an IT pro of 20+ years. I tried these for a few customers because they were very inexpensive, and they didnt a wifi router. They worked fine for about a week and then for no reason at all, will randomly drop internet service.Threw them in the junk pile.

Would not keep running
