Description

Description

The broadband load balance router TL-R480T+ is a wise choice for small businesses. It offers you a high return on investment with low overall expenses. Featuring three changeable WAN/LAN ports, the TL-R480T+ supports up to 4 WAN ports, which can meet various Internet access requirements through a single device. The TL-R480T+ integrates multiple load balancing strategies, advanced QoS, and a robust firewall to provide you with stable network uptime and reliable Ethernet connectivity. Additionally, the TL-R480T+ is easy to manage through a web-based utility, making the setup and management of your network easier.

Three interchangeable WAN/LAN ports

The TL-R480T+ features three interchangeable ports that can be configured as either LAN or WAN, allowing the router to support up to four WAN ports to meet various Internet access requirements through a single device. The router also has a built-in smart load balancing function, which automatically selects the most efficient line based on load and bandwidth requirements, providing users with stable network uptime and reliable Ethernet connectivity.

Abundant security features

For defense against external threats, the TL-R480T+ can automatically detect and block Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, such as TCP/UDP/ICMP Flooding, Ping of Death, and other related threats. Additionally, this router provides IP/MAC/URL/Web filtering functions, which dynamically prevent attacks from intruders and viruses. For better internal network management, the TL-R480T+ allows administrators to set rules to block specific websites and IM/P2P applications with a single click and restrict staff from using specific services, such as FTP, HTTP, and SMTP.

The package includes

  • TL-R480T+
  • Power cable
  • Ethernet RJ-45 cable
  • Installation guide
  • Rack mounting kit

Type
Router

Type

The devices we encounter are standalone routers, routers with built-in modems, and mobile routers.

A router requires a separate modem and distributes the connection to multiple devices via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, but cannot connect directly to the internet. A modem/router combines a modem and router in one device, connects directly to the internet provider, and distributes the connection to the local network. A mobile router, on the other hand, uses a SIM card and mobile data to create a portable Wi-Fi hotspot, ideal for use outside the home or in areas without a fixed connection.

Router

Plain router (without modem). The router is a device to which other devices (e.g. computer, mobile, TV) connect either wirelessly or with a cable, and it shares internet access with them. It receives internet access through a separate device called a modem.
Maximum LAN Speed
100 Mbps

Maximum LAN Speed

The maximum speed that the modem/router can offer to devices connected to it via ethernet cable.

100
Usually, 100Mbps is sufficient for the needs of most users. For more demanding uses such as transferring large files (e.g. high-definition videos), prefer a device with support for 1000Mbps. Note that all involved devices must support this speed, otherwise data transmission will be limited to the speed of the slowest device.
Portable Hotspot
No

Portable Hotspot

Mobile routers with built-in battery so you can use them anywhere.

These mobile routers have a SIM card slot for wireless internet access through 3G/4G mobile networks.
Network Standards
IEEE 802.3/3u

Network Standards

The device supports various networking standards that affect the maximum Wi-Fi speed, distance, sensitivity to obstacles, etc. This information is also reflected in the more user-friendly Wi-Fi generation. It is recommended to choose a Wi-Fi 5 (IEEE 802.11ac) or Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax) device.

Connectivity

Wireless network
No

Wireless network

The device has a wireless network to which we can connect wireless devices that support it. In case it doesn't, the connection can only be made through an ethernet cable.
Ethernet LAN connections
4

Ethernet LAN connections

The number of ethernet ports that the device has for direct wired device connections. Most routers offer 4 ports.
ISDN Connection
No
SIM slot
No

SIM slot

The device has a SIM card slot for internet connection through a mobile network. The SIM card should have an active data plan.

Security

Firewall
NAT, SPI

Firewall

Protection mechanisms available on the device.

The NAT "hides" the addresses of all devices on your local network behind a unique address, while SPI controls data traffic for patterns of known attack types (e.g. DDoS). They can be used simultaneously.
NAT
NAT (Network Address Translation) is a mechanism that "hides" the addresses of all devices on your local network behind a unique address, increasing security.
SPI
SPI (Stateful Packet Inspections) is a mechanism that monitors data traffic for patterns of known attack types (e.g. DDoS). SPI is also known as dynamic packet filtering.
MAC Address Filtering
Yes

MAC Address Filtering

MAC (media access control) address filtering is the ability of a device to allow specific devices to connect based on their unique MAC address, while excluding any device with a MAC address that has not been defined as acceptable.

Extras

Virtual Private Network (VPN)
No

Virtual Private Network (VPN)

The device has the ability to set up a VPN (Virtual Private Network) so that traffic from all devices on our network passes through it. 2. The VPN acts as an intermediary between us and the rest of the internet. This way, we can give the impression that we are geographically located in another country and the pages we visit see the VPN address as the visitor's address, not ours. 3. This provides us with anonymity and access to content with geographic restrictions (e.g. some YouTube videos are only available in certain countries, the Netflix catalog is different depending on the country, etc.). 4. VPN services are usually paid for by subscription.
VoIP
No
Mesh
No

Mesh

It is a complete home WiFi system with multiple access points designed to eliminate dead zones and provide seamless WiFi throughout your home with higher speeds and more devices.

    This review is about the network version: v6

    I would say it is useful for those who want to combine two to four lines... However, this does not always mean that it aggregates the bandwidth (without the fault of the machine).. for example, YouTube will always work on one line out of the four, and the same applies to downloading through a browser, torrents will work simultaneously in downloading... there are such silly restrictions in general, however, a good balance of all lines is achieved... obviously, it is not intended for a household but for businesses, cafes, etc., unless someone wants to have two lines at their home. It also has built-in VPN, which means that if someone has a subscription, for example, to expressvpn, they can integrate it and use it on all their devices (thus bypassing the limitation of 3 devices provided by expressvpn).... for home communication between devices in the house, I would say that the best option is a managed or un-managed router, of course, a managed router is an expensive choice even for a home...
