    Discription:
TL-R488T provides four WAN ports in a single router. It is ideal as the malfunction of one port won’t lead to network failure as other ports will 
work as backups making the faulty connection redundant. At the same time, network traffic is managed to ensure that data is properly 
distributed to each port.
Multi-bandwidth, easily realize
- Different ISP lines have their own services, with multi-bandwidth, users can enjoy multi-services provided by different ISPs.
- Connection line backups.
- Quad-WAN ports 4 times the egress bandwidth
Load Balancing, automatically selects the best line according to the load
The internal automatic line diversion strategy can distribute data streams according to the bandwidth proportion and occupancy rate to raise 
the utilization rate of multi-line broadband. The users can truly experience multi-line broadband through the full use of multi-line resource.
IP and Port Based QoS
Quality of service is the ability to provide different priority to different applications, users, or data flows, or to guarantee a certain level of 
performance to a data flow. Quality of service guarantees are important if the network capacity is insufficient, especially for real-time stream-
ing multimedia applications such as voice over IP and IP-TV. TL-R488T supports IP and port based QoS, it enables your streaming multimedia, 
video teleconferencing, gaming etc. with high performance.
IP and MAC Address binding efficiently avoids network attack
IP and MAC Address binding ensure that only those computers that pass verification using both the correct IP and MAC address can access 
the network thereby limiting the ability of hostile entities to attack the network. It protects your network from ARP attacks, man-in-the-
middle attacks and IP spoofing.
Strong firewall forcefully prevents attacks from intruders and viruses
TL-R488T provides strong attack and defense function and supports internal and external attack precaution. It is especially effective in the 
prevention of DoS Attacks----ICMP Flood, UDP Flood, SYN Flood, Ping of Death, WinNuke, Land Attack etc. and guarantees long and stable 
operation for Internet cafes/SMB (Small and Medium Business).
WAN interface online detecting and testing
WAN interface online detecting and testing is to inspect the connectivity of lines through PING detecting or DNS request, and it is of great 
help for administrators to check and rule out the barriers and mistakes. Online detecting checks the responding speed of WAN port of router 
through ICMP, TCP and UDP. It keeps updated as to the working state and lines of the router and is helpful for remote management and 
maintenance of equipment.
