TP-LINK TL-R480T+ Load Balance Broadband Router 10/100Mbps 1 fixed WAN port, 1 fixed LAN port and 3 changeable WAN/LAN port

Pros: Looks good, Lots of options Good Price

Cons: Doesn't last very long, was ROCK SOLID for 1 year, then quickly started to degrade, started off as power cycling Once every month, then weekly, now just won't do anything properly. Luckily i had my old backup but after reading other forums, it seems to be a common occurrence.

Overall Review: Price is good, but quality is not. I do not recommend this product.

Pros: This is a followup for the previous review of this product. After several months they have released a new firmware fixing the issues I had with this router. I am testing it and all loks well at this time.

Cons: Takes a little longer to get working just the way you want it but for the price it seems to be working at this time. The GUI interface needs a bit more work as I don't believe that all the routers capabilities are available in the GUI configs.

Pros: Inexpensive. Great fro balancing multiple Wan connections(when it works).

Cons: Only lasted 1 year and 4 months before losing configuration after reboots. It would occasionally lock up as well and that drove us nuts.

Overall Review: I am no longer bothering with this brand as I wasted too much money for equipment that only last a year or so. That includes their 24 port switches.

Pros: good Load Balance Routers

Cons: I need to forward/translate a few ports to internal devices on TL-R480T+ but in virtual servers there is no such option. same applicability supported on V5 of this model. i got lots of very cheap ADSL modem router that support such think, to my surprise this Load Balance Routers don't, i hope this can be fixed by firmware update but not yet

Pros: multi-WAN ports with load balancing strategies works stable with two Internet provider in my small office

Cons: the port is 10/100M , not Gigabit....

Overall Review: I used this in my small office with three of my colleagues, we have two Internet provider accesses so I bought the TP-LINK multi-WAN router, so far it works stable and never down with the TP-LINK switch !! And also I called TP-LINK hotline for help, they are very patient and full of passion !! I gotta say I have become a loyal TP-LINK fun !!!

Pros: This is an excellent little unit, with all the features you'd expect from a higher priced system. The GUI is perfectly workable, about on the level of the average home router or switch, with a few nice bonus features. All in all, well worth the money.

Cons: It's a bit larger than it needs to be, technically, and I personally don't use the serial port connection. It is a bit of an archaic machine but who cares about looks with a router anyway?

Overall Review: Server-Room technology for your home or small business.

Pros: None

Cons: Received the unit with an old firmware. It worked ok but balancing was off. I decided to download the latest firmware. Once loaded to the box it faled to loadbalance or failover. The only way to failover was to remove one of the WAN Cat5 connections. I attempted to get support but the people that answered did not know how to work with this unit. They told me to send an email to tech support which I did. It has been over a week and I have not received a response.

Overall Review: I overnited a different router and it came with the latest firmware and worked great out of the box. I have sent a review of the other product on NewEgg also. Thanks to Newegg for getting me the replacement overnite.
