Purpose-built load-balance router

The TP-Link TL-R470T+ is a 10/100Mbps firewall appliance designed for small offices and internet cafés. It provides one fixed WAN port, one fixed LAN port and three changeable WAN/LAN ports that can be configured for up to four WAN connections. Load balancing distributes traffic across active links while a built-in firewall adds IP, MAC and domain filtering with DoS protection.

Suited to multi-line sites, not gigabit needs

This unit fits environments that aggregate several broadband lines and require basic bandwidth control, port mirroring, DDNS, UPnP and VPN pass-through. It operates between 0°C and 40°C with 10% to 90% non-condensing humidity. Buyers who need gigabit throughput, wireless connectivity or advanced intrusion-prevention features should look at higher-specification appliances.

Four-WAN capacity with 100Mbps headroom

The four configurable ports comfortably handle multiple 10/100Mbps WAN links for load balancing and failover. Internal bandwidth is limited to 100Mbps per port, so aggregate throughput cannot exceed that ceiling. The compact metal case includes an internal universal power supply accepting 100-240V AC at 50/60Hz, and the package supplies a power cord, Ethernet cable, guide and resource CD.

Questions about this item

Do I need a separate modem for each WAN connection I plan to use with the TL-R470T+?

Yes, each of the four WAN ports requires its own modem or upstream gateway to provide an internet feed.

Can I keep my existing 10 Mbps hubs and NICs when connecting them to the LAN ports?

Yes, the LAN ports follow IEEE 802.3 and 802.3u so they negotiate 10/100 Mbps with legacy 10BASE-T equipment.

How can I confirm the load-balancing firewall is actively distributing traffic after setup?

Watch the front-panel LEDs; each WAN port LED blinks when that link carries data, showing balanced utilisation across active lines.
