A great little router with tonnes of features
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
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!
Easy bit of kit
I’m a network engineer in my day job and I used to have fancy home lab equipment but moved to this for an easy life.This is really easy to set up, has decent throughput and has decent speeds too. It’s nice and small too. The only disadvantage really is that it’s not a 1U bit of kit, but you can put it on a tray if you really want
Difficult to setup
Couldn’t get it to connect to my isp.
Nice bit of kit.
I struggled with this until I realised my ISP’s modem wouldn’t issue a DHCP IP address unless it was rebooted… sigh.More features than I need but it’s not a WiFi router which is brilliant cos I don’t want WiFi in my router. Also it’s nice to have all the ports at the front instead of being concealed awkwardly at the back.If there’s one criticism of TP-Link routers it’s the sys LED flashes when everything is fine… that’s nuts. It should flash when it’s NOT fine. Also their routers and switches don’t alert on firmware updates so you have to check on the website.OK, that’s two criticisms. Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
Great Draytek alternative
The equivalent Draytek (1gbps WAN) is more than twice the price so this made a great alternative. Bit fiddly to setup in a more complex environment but got there in the end. The firewall – blocking outbound traffic from a specific IP – was a pain to setup and didn’t seem to make logical sense (google is your friend).I only used it in local management, there is a cloud management mode which I haven’t used.
che funziona bene
Tons of features including VPN, Multi WAN.It is exactly like tp-link shows in their demo (emulator for hardware V1).It’s simple to set up and reaches high speeds easily.A great piece of hardware with all that is needed.It supports IPv6, has a built-in DHCP server, supports V-LAN configuration and updates to the latest firmware without problems.You don’t even have to use the omada controller. It’s optional!Small note: This is definitely not your consumer grade Router, so be aware of that it takes some knowledge to configure it.The only thing that might need improvements is the startup time, cause it might seem like it’s dead, when it’s actually just taking it’s time, but I guess it’s up to tp-link to fix that.On a few browsers out there the UI also seems to hang a bit but that’s probably because the included java is processed better on others.I can’t really say much about reliability cause I just set it up, but I’m sure it will do a great job as it doesn’t even seem close to exhaustion, judging by CPU usage.
Por alguna razón se crashea el sistema. El led Sys deja de parpadear y se vuelve inaccesible su administrador.Si se conecta con el switch SG3210 (con este en ip 192.168.1.0 y diferente al router) crashea el router instantáneamente.Falla por conectar una PC que solo tiene un conmutador por defecto para hyperv. Una pc sin hyperv y un wifi de la marca tp link sí fue admitido inclusive con vlan.Con el ISP en wan no tuvo problemas.Apagarlo y volverlo a encender no es garantía de que su systema vuelva salvo si lo desconecto por un periodo que facilite su descarga. Sys no entra en línea fácilmente después de un crash. Se tienen qué desconectar todos los puertos ethernet.El botón reset no funciona si no está el led Sys parpadeando.Pienso que me entregaron un aparato defectuoso porque aún con nada conectado se crashea y no vuelve de regreso, inclusive por moverlo tantito previo a intentar conectar un cable. Así que inmediatamente lo devuelvo hoy en paquetería.Mi conexión a la corriente eléctrica está aterrizada.
