TP-Link TL-R480T+ Load Balance Broadband Router

TP-Link TL-R480T+ Load Balance Broadband Router

The TP-Link TL-R480T+ Load Balance Broadband Router is built for small businesses that need dependable internet uptime without a heavy IT budget. With support for up to 4 WAN ports, this load balance broadband router lets you combine multiple internet lines for maximum bandwidth, automatic failover, and consistent connectivity across your office network.

Its three changeable WAN/LAN ports give you the flexibility to configure your network exactly how your business needs it, while built-in QoS and a strong firewall keep performance steady even during peak usage. Whether you're running a retail shop, an office with several departments, or a growing SME, the TL-R480T+ helps keep every workstation online.

Beyond raw performance, the router includes a full suite of access management tools — from a PPPoE server for client account control to bandwidth allocation per user — making it easy for administrators to manage internet usage across the whole team from a single web-based utility.

Key Features

• Up to 4 WAN Ports with Load Balancing: Combine multiple internet connections to guarantee maximum bandwidth and automatic backup, so your business stays online even if one connection drops.

• Three Changeable WAN/LAN Ports: Reconfigure ports between WAN and LAN as your internet needs grow, without needing to replace hardware.

• Smart Load Balancing: Automatically selects the most efficient line based on bandwidth and load, giving you reliable Ethernet connectivity without manual switching.

• Advanced QoS: Prioritizes bandwidth for specific clients and applications, ensuring critical business tasks always get the resources they need.

• Built-In DoS Protection: Automatically detects and blocks TCP/UDP/ICMP flooding, Ping of Death, and similar attacks to keep your network safe from outside threats.

• IP/MAC/URL/Web Filtering: Blocks malicious traffic and lets admins restrict access to specific websites, IM, and P2P apps with one click — ideal for maintaining staff productivity.

• PPPoE Server for Access Management: Issues PPPoE accounts to internal users so only authenticated staff can access the internet, giving you full control over who's online.

• IP-Based Bandwidth Control: Limits how much bandwidth each PPPoE account can consume, preventing any single user from slowing down the network.

• E-Bulletin Notifications: Automatically alerts user groups about PPPoE account expiration through a webpage bulletin, reducing manual admin follow-up.
