The TP-Link TL-R480T+ is a load balance broadband router designed for small businesses that require multiple internet connections, reliable uptime and controlled bandwidth distribution. With three configurable WAN/LAN ports, the router can support up to four WAN connections from a single device.

Its intelligent load balancing capabilities help distribute network traffic across available internet lines according to bandwidth and network load. The TL-R480T+ also provides advanced QoS, bandwidth management, portal authentication and network security features for controlled business internet access.

Product Features

Up to Four WAN Ports: The TL-R480T+ can support up to four WAN connections, providing businesses with flexible options for combining multiple broadband connections.

Three Configurable WAN/LAN Ports: Three ports can be configured as either WAN or LAN according to the network deployment requirements.

Intelligent Load Balancing: Smart load balancing automatically selects and distributes traffic across available internet connections according to network load and bandwidth requirements.

WAN Backup: Multiple WAN support provides additional internet connection redundancy, helping maintain network availability if one broadband connection becomes unavailable.

Advanced QoS: Quality of Service features help administrators prioritize network resources and manage bandwidth according to business requirements.

IP-Based Bandwidth Control: Administrators can assign bandwidth limits to specific users or IP addresses to help prevent individual clients from consuming excessive network resources.

Portal Authentication: Portal authentication allows administrators to require valid account credentials before users can access the internet.

DoS Defense: The router can detect and block supported denial-of-service attacks including TCP, UDP and ICMP flooding as well as Ping of Death attacks.

IP/MAC/URL Filtering: Filtering tools provide control over connected users, destinations and web access according to configured network policies.

Web Filtering: Administrators can restrict access to selected websites and online services according to organizational requirements.

Application Restrictions: Network policies can be configured to restrict supported applications and services such as IM, P2P, FTP, HTTP and SMTP.

Web-Based Management: The router is configured and managed through a browser-based utility, making network setup and day-to-day administration straightforward.

4kV Lightning Protection: Professional surge protection is designed to protect the router from electrical surges of up to 4kV when used with a properly grounded installation.

Product Specifications

*Lightning protection depends on proper grounding and installation conditions.

Flexible Multi-WAN Connectivity

The three configurable WAN/LAN ports allow the TL-R480T+ to adapt to different network requirements. Businesses can use multiple broadband lines through one router, improving bandwidth utilization and providing additional internet redundancy.

Smart Load Balancing

The router can automatically distribute traffic across available WAN connections according to network load and configured bandwidth. This helps improve overall use of multiple broadband services instead of leaving secondary connections underutilized.

Bandwidth Management

IP-based bandwidth control allows administrators to assign network resources according to individual users or devices. This helps reduce congestion and ensures that important applications have sufficient bandwidth.

Portal Authentication

Portal authentication can require users to sign in with authorized credentials before gaining internet access. Combined with bandwidth controls, this provides additional management options for office and shared-network environments.

Business Network Security

The TL-R480T+ includes DoS protection and IP, MAC, URL and web filtering. Administrators can also restrict access to selected applications and network services to help enforce company internet policies.

4kV Lightning Protection

TP-Link incorporates professional lightning protection technology designed to help protect the router from electrical surges of up to 4kV when the device is installed in properly grounded conditions.

Important Product Information

The TL-R480T+ is primarily a wired load balance broadband router and should not be treated as a wireless Wi-Fi router. Wireless access requires separate compatible wireless access points or other networking equipment.

The exact Ethernet port speeds and feature availability may vary by hardware revision. Confirm the hardware version of your stock before publishing detailed port-speed specifications.
