This router was very easy to configure for both the normal settings of any router as well as the fail-safe settings unique to this model.
-
(It also works on this machine if a) the TP-LINK is bypassed, or b) one of the internet lines hooked to it are down/disconnected.)It's a great value to be able to hook up two Internet connections and have the device fail-over to the working one if one fails
-
Instant backup would be nice, but for this price I think I got a decent value.

I won't list the steps here, as it's pretty straight-forward, but if needed you can click the Help button on each configuration page, or refer to the PDF manual on the included CD.Next, the following steps are not mentioned in the manual (as far as I know), so I'm including them here to save you days of frustration ;-).Ensure that you have set up both your WANs with your PPPoE information (Network \ WAN \ WAN1 and WAN2 tabs).Ensure that you have set up your Link Backup settings (Advanced \ Load Balance \ Link Backup tab).Next:2.

-
After changing the "rule" everything worked like a charm!In addition to liking the fail-safe feature, this router never requires a reboot after any configuration changes, you just click "Save" and it's done.
-
Those two features are completely broken, (or partly broken.. load balancing will work, but sporadically and if one connection goes down, every connection goes down.. what a joke, ASUS).

Reviews around thing (3.09 of 5)
-
it's communication is not throttled, it is cut completely off not a good thing
-
The best thing about this router is that it will let you jump networks.
-
but this thing is junk ... just as a disclaimer, I don't dislike all TP-Link products, one of my DSL Modems is a TP-Link and it performs much better than the one provided by my carrier.
-
This leads me to the other really neat thing about this router.... from the router's website you can watch it's CPU utilization and also see which IP addresses are using the bandwidth.
-
Yes, this thing is cheap for what it supposedly can do, but YOUR time is worth something and there is no excuse for such sloppy setup in the 21st Century.
