## Description

What This Product DoesThe 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 PortsThe 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 FeaturesFor 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 ManagementBy 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 InvestmentsProfessional lightning protection technology is designed to prevent electrical surges from penetrating the interior of the device, to be discharged harmlessly into the Earth.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what speed are the ethernet ports 100MBps or 1GBps?**
A: It is not 1gbps. It is 100mbps. I have the TL-R470T+ in hand and have tried it out and it is definitely 100mbps. If you have a faster than 100mbps broadband or ISP - you need a different product - try the TP-Link R600VPN instead.  Ignore the product description on this page - it is wrong and I cannot get my money back as I have binned the packaging and now cannot do a return. Do not be me!

**Q: How does this handle streaming high definition video from the internet , e.g. 4k video stream.**
A: The bottom line is it really depends alot on what you are actually doing and where you are getting the video from.I don't know what you know so I will spell it out.I am assuming that you are downloading video from You tube or Amazon prime or some such service. This is assumed to be a single point to point connection for download.AFAIK 4K Video is just a larger file than non 4k video and has nothing special about it in this context other than its data density per second of film is much higher.The router provides failover and load balancing for multiple ISP's. I have two and am adding a third. These are two very different things and the load balancing aspect of this router is probably not what you might expect or would want based on my assumption. What you probably want is what is called 'channel bonding' where two or more ISP's connections are made to act as if they are one single faster connection, and will otherwise smell, feel and act as if they were one connection. This router does not channel bond. It's load balancing provides a close alternative which you must understand to get its benefits.The actual ISP connections with this router are independent and used in isolation, or not, according to the routers set balancing instructions of which ther are 4 (2 * 2) major choices plus a few other minor varations. The router figures out how to use them according to your configured wishes. Balancing shares the ports out across all of its current connections, ths making it feel like you get 10Gb + 10Gb = 20Gb bandwidth when in fact you are effectiely using 50% less connections per port.Failover is used only when a connection was active on a now failed port and the router will automatically attempts a continuation of that connection on the other port. Sometimes this is not possible, as the protocol in use at the time may not allow that to happen. Skype is one example.A single connection is allways over ONE outgoing port route, or another, never over two or more. So as there is no channel bonding you cannot get an download speed advantege from this router, unless your video download is via some sort of torrent like service where parts of the feed come from several different remote addresses, each requiring additional connections for that sub part of the file, will you get any added bandwidth advantage at all. It can do that, and does it very well.This router is not all things to all men, but its the closest thing to heaven for my needs and now I understand how it behaves I have enough control and flexibility for most scenarios.

**Q: i bought this, could anyone please give me a step by step instructions for setting it up with two 4g lte sim card routers.**
A: You need to download the manual from the TP-Link website as it shows the various protocols for connections

**Q: Is the connection failover on this?**
A: Yes, in a way. To failover, we setup 99% balance main connection, 1% balance on the backup connection, so both are connected at once. Then, if the main connection fails, all usage goes to the backup connection.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great little router with tonnes of features
*by T***A on 24 February 2022*

I bought this router after trying and returning a router from a different manufacturer. This router was £40 more expensive and really. I should have known..."You get what you pay for"You do need to know your way around IPv4 and/or IPv6 protocols and general knowledge about how routers work to configure this device correctly but if you do then it's a trivial affair to get it configured.In total, I configured the router attached to a laptop then plugged it into the actual network to start its life routing packets in around 20 minutes from unboxing to up and running.I've used this router to replace an old Windows machine with 2 Gb NIC's in it that I have been using as a router for years and at the time of writing, it's been in operation for 36 hours.My first impressions are that it's fast and very configurable.There are a couple of minor niggles with it but they're not massive.1. Whilst the web interface works on all the major browsers, it seems most reliable in the latest version of Firefox. In Chrome and Edge the web UI can hang sometimes. I'm assuming there's a bit of JavaScript in the UI that Firefox handles better than the other browsers.2. The Secure Certificate that is used is "Self signed" at the Certificate Authority level so appears as "untrusted" in all browsers when accessing the router for management over SSL. Whilst this isn't a major problem, it just seems like TP-Link skimped on getting a proper certificate or bothering to register as a Trusted Certificate Provider. Either option on their part would have done.Now the issues are out of the way, here's the positives...In terms of operation and performance, this router is more than adequate for any network that needs to support up to 1Gbps network speeds. I'm using this with a Virgin Media account with their "router" in "Modem only" mode because they have support back doors so I use this router as a way to firewall them out of my network.Our Virgin account is currently restricted to the 200/20Mbps Down/Up package. Using Speedtest.net when this router is in place, we get the expected speeds without fail which is more than can be said for the router we bought and returned a couple of weeks ago.As this is aimed at the SMB router market, there's no WiFi built in. For us this isn't a problem as we have a fully 1Gbps wired network in our house and a couple of dedicated Wireless Access Points which are dotted around the house for the best wireless coverage we can get.The device has an adequate DHCP server built in but the UI leaves a little to be desired with some of the "Advanced features" of the DHCP server being described by their basic names such as "Option 60" which you'd have to look up if you didn't know what it meant...Other features I've made used of are the Dynamic DNS which supports a few providers including DynDNS which is the provider I use. Configuration of that service is simple enough and works correctly and I'd expect the other services supported to work in a similar manner.Overall, I'm really pleased with this device and can see that once it is configured (which is quite easy to do), you can leave it in situ and never need to touch it again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant load balancing router
*by A***N on 13 July 2022*

This device is brilliant! If like me you don't have fast broadband services running to your home then this device is brilliant for aggregating multiple accounts. I use it to aggregate copper delivered Sky, Plusnet and 4G and 5G wifi routers from 3UK.You will need an sfp to ethernet adaptor but other than that it is all good. It is a rock solid device and up time was 6 months from when I bought it - it did overheat and crashed not very gracefully in the current UK heat wave (room with ER7206 in hit 30 degrees celsius) - had to factory reset - so definitely take a backup of your settings.Aggregation of multiple ISP accounts seems too good to be true and it is to a certain extent - if you aggregate (load balancing at an individual ip packet level) across all ISP WAN connected devices you will get the aggregate speed the only drawback is some web services do not allow packets from multiple ip addresses (iplayer will sometimes complain about this for example) - if this is a deal breaker you can always set the load balancing options to application optimized routing which will resolve the problem (or use a vpn client if you can on your connected device).It can also act as your DHCP server (even on v1.0 of the hardware) - you'll find it in Network->LAN then click on the Operation notepad icon - in there you can setup how DHCP works. It is very fast and reliable DHCP server. Multiple vlans are also supported if you want to segregate your local network devices.For such a low price this device is miraculous! Even if you have a single fast connection get this to aggregate a backup link!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Product with limits.
*by D***D on 17 January 2020*

Great product, I a little tricky to setup if your not technical, pay someone to do it. Also please be aware that this is a 10/100 Mb's router so the max speed you can achieve with network is about 12MB/s (100Mb's) so if you are joining broadband connections with a combined download capacity greater than 12MB/s it is limited to 12. The other thing I noticed was increase latency making it less usable for gaming. Normal internet use is fine, great in fact. I have a 60Mb's land line with TalkTalk and a 4G+ router with 3 (Other suppliers are available) I get 12MB's down and 5MB's up. I have left my TalkTalk WiFi on and called it just game through that WiFi. Speed tests don't show the full speed you have available but it is there. Everything else goes through an access point attached to the balancer. I have also managed to brick it a few times and had to reset it back to factory default. Make sure you save your setup before you change anything. The Gigabit version is available but its is more expensive. You need to make sure you do a few things to get the most out of it. I am not an expert so if I can discover anything to improve this I will update this review.1. Each ISP provided router needs a different IP - I would recommend 192.168.10.1, 192.168,11,1 and so on.2. Preferences - Setup an IP address 192.168.0.100-192.168.0.199 and an create a group3. Transmission - Routing Policy - Policy Routing - Add your group and select the WAN's you want it to use. You can specify devices only use on if you require a lower latency. Just move it outside the DHCP pool and create a group for it.4. Transmission - Load Balancing - Turn off application Balancing.Mark.
