TP-Link ER605 (TL-R605) | Multi-WAN Wired Single_Band 1000 Mbps VPN Router | Up to 3 Gigabit WAN Ports | SPI Firewall SMB Router | Omada SDN Integrated | Load Balance | Lightning Protection

I’ve been using the TP-Link ER605 for a few months now, and it has been rock-solid since day one. I got it to upgrade the network stability in my home office, and I’m really happy with how it performs.The setup was quite straightforward, especially with the Omada Controller, which makes managing the network super easy. I can monitor everything in one place, and the interface is clean and simple to use—even if you're not super technical.One of the biggest reasons I bought this router was for its load balancing and VPN support, and it delivers exactly as promised. I have two internet connections, and the ER605 handles both seamlessly, automatically balancing the traffic and switching if one connection drops. This has been a huge help during Zoom calls or while transferring large design files.Security-wise, it has all the features I needed—firewall, VPN, DoS protection, and more—and everything runs smoothly without slowing down the speed. I’ve also noticed it runs cool and has a solid build quality.

First, I reall wished to buy a gigabit WAN router for future proofing but all ISPs commonly have a 100mbps max connection speed. My home of office LAN is all with gigabit Ethernet.This router is well made, solid metal build. Setup was a breeze. I'm using this with one static IP connection & the second with a PPPoE ISP. With load balancing that helps bandwidth aggregation. Works well without any packet loss.Recieved a newly made product dated April 2019 V6.0 but firmware updates ended until June 2018.Will post a follow up review a month later.Update: (June 2020) a year later.....Recently recieved a 2020 firmware update last month. Router has been very functional and link aggregation has been working great. I've been using Airtel xstream, ACT Fibernet & Excell broadband with different protocols each like DHCP, PPPoE & Static IP configurations. Only drawback is that the link speed limit is only 100mbps which isn't helpful for future use if I get a faster internet plan ( 50+40+40mbps currently).I can recommend this router for internet users who don't have current plans of not greater than 25-40mbps.

We have configured 3 Internet Connections into this router (ACT, Jio AirFiber and Airtel DSL) and the router is working flawlessly to split the traffic among the connections as per the defined splitting ratio we have set. The router cannot accurately determine when a particularly ISP goes down (mostly because the Router is connected to the Routers provided by individual ISPs and the ISPs have denied pass-through configuration, but by and large it works. The CPU seems under-powered and torrenting by even a single computer makes the CPU usage jump to 100% and service very slow for other users on the network. The router also does not remember the traffic statistics and resets to zero after every restart (for example after power failure). Its easy to configure DHCP settings and DHCP assignments, but I did not see an option to re-direct domains. I may have to set-up a PI-HOLE server using a Raspberry Pi for that.

Tp-link hasn't disappointed me, this router works perfect as I have two isp's airtel fiber and bsnl fiber, I have it on 2 WAN setup and load balancing configuration and also manage a FTP server and setup static ips for printers and machine servers to easily communicate, my only downside is I should have gone with 1gig router to accommodate the ip camera traffic, 177 cameras overwhelmed the network and had to create a separate network to maintain traffic.

When I ordered the product for the first time, I received a defective item. To identify the issue, I had to change my routers (I bought Deco, which turned out to be another trash product) and troubleshoot everything. Finally, I realized the problem was with this product. Amazon made the replacement process incredibly frustrating, and I wasted an entire day just to get a replacement. When I received the new product, it still didn’t work properly. Every few minutes, the internet would disconnect. I tried every solution available online, but nothing worked. Now, I’ve wasted my money, and this useless product is just taking up space in my home.Don’t buy this product.

The devices works like charm with 2 Isp i got. I was worried my office vpn will give me an issue.. But fortunately its application based load balancer. So vpn stays on one isp. (I'm guessing). Haven't faced and disconnection issues yet.Anyone looking to have uninterrupted internet connection and double speed only on certain traffic. This is a perfect router.This is how I connected:Isp 1 + Isp2 > load balancer router > my old netgear wifi router> all devices.Setup will not be easy for layman. You need a bit of network understanding. However many youtube videos are available.Please keep in mind, this is not a wifi router.Update: VPN works on on default settings of the router, that is load balancing based on applications, if load balancing is set without any condition it doesn't work but rest of the internet works fine.. Hope this info helps!

The product is nice and setup was straightforward. However, it only supported 100mbps which was not mentioned anywhere in the product description. I have a 200mbps connection and hence this was not useful for me.
