TP-Link TL-ER5120

details: Gigabit Load Balance Broadband Router
hardware type: Multi-WAN Router
date added: 2011-10-06
updated: 2013-04-24
The TL-ER5120 features one fixed Gigabit WAN port, one Gigabit LAN/DMZ port and three free changeable ports that can be set to either LAN or WAN, allowing the router to support up to four WAN ports to satisfy various Internet access requirements through one device.

The Intelligent Load Balancing function can distribute data streams according to the bandwidth proportion of every WAN port to raise the utilization rate of multi-line broadband. With IP-based Bandwidth Control and Session Limit functions, network administrators can flexibly manage network bandwidth to optimize bandwidth usage.

For defense against external threats, TL-ER5120 features an automatic protection to detect and block Denial of service (DoS) attacks such as TCP/UDP/ICMP Flooding, TCP Scanning, Ping of Death and other related threats.

1. The company does not know how to explain or write help page.
2. Nothing is simple, nothing is clear.
3. My TL480+ works much much better than this
4. Its ports never goes to gigabit. If you see port config and flow control, maximum speed is 100MB fullduplex
5. It is making my net sloww. CPU usage is very high and reaches 100% with three clients connected.
6. There is no response for any query from the company, where as D-Link even calls when a problem is logged.
7. Port forwarding needs expert to config.
