This is a very good bit of kit, well priced and the functionality is great. I was debating buying another Draytek router for the load balance facility or try this out. I have a 5G router plus an ADSL landline, I had been using my Draytek router to balance between 5G and landline. I ended up finding that the TP link unit will load balance up to 4 lines. the good part with this unit is that you can use you ISP standard equipment and plug and play no issues if one drops or if one is performing better than the other, the load balance unit will take care of it. In a nut shell if you want redundancy from multiply internet connections this will save you a lot of time and money. the Draytek unit although it can do more will cost around 6 time the cost. being able to use other providers equipment to feed into the one route also provides greater resilience.

Great little box, fast and easy enough to setup. The backend connection with TpLink is good. I set everything up with a switch (TP-Link TL-SG3428 | 24 Port Gigabit Switch) - abit complicated for a novice but chatGPT helped me out. I then seen the Omada software to put on it and thats when things went bad... the Omada software took over, reset stuff, starting from scratch but not fully understanding the process or linking to the TPlink account - it was all abit confusing but got there in the end. I got a OC200 (an omada controller) to stop using my work PC as a software Controller - i aint gone fully to the OC200. We are a small office with 100mbps line so don't need anything crazy expensive and this is great and should support us for a few years while growing. with the 24 port switch, we got alot of Vlans between machines etc.

I recently added a 4G LTE modem to supplement my somewhat slow ADSL service and I bought this router to share the load between the two modems with the hope of having a faster internet experience. The router does indeed balance the load between the two WANs but it does it without much sophistication. It does not track connection speed and use spare bandwidth intelligently. It is simply a 50:50 chance as to which WAN gets used to establish a new connection. Also the manual claims that you can check the 'use bandwidth based routing' option and then you can control the relative amount of traffic on each port by entering 'bandwidth' numbers. That does not appear to work. I've tried various settings and over a few days it makes no difference. The split in traffic is always 50:50. All that said, this is a very inexpensive router and you can't expect too much for this sort of price. There are routers out there that have all kinds of sophisticated algorithms for proper load balancing but they cost ten times more. Load balancing aside, the router does have very useful options for routing specific devices to one port in preference. Power consumption is tiny (1W) so isn't going to cost much to run as an 'always on' device. Initially I did have a bit of difficultly setting up until I realised that one of my modems was configured for the same subnet as the load balancer. So make sure the devices attached to the WAN ports use different subnets. After that everything just works and the remaining set up easy and intuitive. It has worked reliably for the month I've had it - no drop outs, no need to reboot. So overall moderately pleased but it hasn't radically changed the internet experience by optimally utilising my ADSL & 4G bandwidth. Internet performance is a bit of a lottery but overall slightly better.

I think this router is great value for only £50. Even though I had to also buy a wireless access point for ~£40 for this setup to fully replace my ISP router, it still came in much cheaper than other "prosumer" routers with built in wireless. I just wanted to segment my network into two vLANs so I could host a minecraft server from my house on an isolated vLAN and then have all my personal stuff on the other. This router has done the job perfectly. I didn't need to use an omada controller or anything additonal, the built in router management page let me do everything needed, and it was (fairly) straightforward to set up everything up. The router just plugged straight into my BT ONT box and worked, I just had to enter in my ISPs credentials which Plusnet helpfully provides on a help page. Managed to replace my ISP router entirely. The router even supports geo-blocking in the ACL rules which was a surprise to me, I was able to set up a rule to only connections to my server from UK IP addresses, great!

These are excellent devices - we have fitted them at a number of customer's premises, typically where a BT 2Wire Business Hub has been supplied. The BT devices do not feature a configurable firewall, so for example blocking by IP address cannot be set. The R470T+ works well in these environments, and handles double-NAT without issue. Throughput is adequate for a standard ADSL2+ connection, but we would suggest an upgrade to TL-R480T+ or TL-ER5120 for larger organisations or faster connections, as the stated throughput is higher. A much more powerful CPU is fitted to the TL-ER5120, and it's only about £150. Configuration is not Netgear easy, but can be quickly figured out. One tiny pitfall for those used to configuring more complicated devices - a NAT forwarding rule *doesnt* require a matching firewall rule. This router does not support syslog, nor is there much in the way of logging; only a basic system log, so again - consider a more powerful device if this is required.

Late response (sorry). Been working perfectly since start.

お恥ずかしい限りですが、レビュータイトルの通りです。 開封して接続し、SpeedTestで計測して初めてミスに気がつきました。

Very easy to set up as a load balancing router I have 2 internet connections feeding my LAN and if either of the internet services drop my LAN continues to work. But it is very cumbersome to try to setup remote management. The other thing to remember is that to set this up you must have a PC or a Mac with an internet port, can't be configured via phone or wirelessly

Adquiri para fazer failover entre dois links de internet, para evitar quedas durante o trabalho remoto.. Mas ele ainda consegue balancear bem entre os dois links a ponto de não sobrecarregar nenhum. Único contra, no caso deste anuncio, é que parecia ser da versão R480 pela foto, mas na verdade foi entregue o R470. Mas para a minha necessidade está suficiente e o preço também foi compatível. Bom Custo beneficio, considerando que é possível fazer o balanceamento manual, mas requer muitos conhecimentos avançados de rede e sistemas operacionais, mas com esse aparelho é praticamente "plugar e usar". Recomendo o produto (TL-R470T+)

Product is working as advertised which is an entry level load balancer router which support multiple WAN. Solid performance and able to reach the advertised NAT throughput constantly.
