TL-R473P-AC adopts an enterprise-level hardware platform, and also supports rich software functions such as Web authentication, IPSec/PPTP/L2TP VPN, Internet behavior management, PPPoE server, firewall, and intelligent bandwidth control.

Built-in AC+PoE function to simplify wireless networking for small and micro enterprises/villa environments

Built-in AC (wireless controller) function, both a router and a wireless controller, can manage up to 10 TP-LINK AP products in a unified manner to form a wireless network;

It can automatically discover the TP-LINK AP in the network, and configure and manage the AP in a unified manner, realize AP zero configuration access, plug and play, and also support AP status monitoring, AP upgrade and scheduled restart, easy maintenance.

All LAN ports support standard PoE power supply, comply with IEEE802.3af/at standard, and the maximum output power of a single port is 30W;

It is suitable for small businesses, offices, villas and other environments to build wireless networks, without the need to purchase additional AC and PoE switches, simple deployment and maintenance, and high cost performance.


Multiple VPNs to ensure remote and secure communication

Support IPSec VPN, encrypt confidential data of enterprises and branches to ensure data security;

Support PPTP VPN and L2TP VPN server/client mode, which is convenient for business employees and mobile office workers to remotely access the internal server of the enterprise, and realize remote office easily;


Internet behavior management, standardize employee network use

Built-in database of common Internet applications, one-key control of various desktop and mobile Internet applications, including social software / video software / music software / shopping and leisure software / news information software / P2P software / financial software / online games / application store / Basic applications and other categories;

Built-in database of hundreds of URLs in dozens of categories, which can limit employees' access to corresponding websites with one click;

It supports the extended type of filtering files, which can easily filter various small files embedded in web pages to prevent viruses, Trojan horses, etc. from invading the corporate network through these small files and endangering network security.


A variety of authentication methods to control online access and realize advertising and marketing

Support Web authentication, you can push merchant advertising information through the authentication page;

Support SMS authentication, meet real-name authentication requirements, and conduct secondary marketing based on mobile phone number;

Support PPPoE server, which can realize unified dial-up Internet access for intranet users.


Efficient firewall to ensure the security of internal and external networks

Support IP and MAC address binding to effectively prevent ARP spoofing in the internal/external network; when suffering from ARP spoofing, it can actively send ARP correction information according to the specified frequency to restore the normal state of the network in time.

Supports internal/external network attack protection functions, which can effectively prevent various common DoS attacks, scanning attacks, and suspicious packet attacks.

Support the filtering function based on MAC address, effectively block the access of illegal hosts.

It can assign the authority to pass through the router for various network services, ensure the security of the internal and external networks, support access control rules based on user groups and time periods, and achieve more refined management.


Flexible bandwidth control to ensure reasonable utilization of bandwidth

It supports the flexible strategy of enabling bandwidth control based on bandwidth utilization, and can perform two-way bandwidth control for each host (IP) in the network, effectively suppressing excessive use of bandwidth by P2P applications such as BT and Thunder, and ensuring smooth network at all times.

Provide IP-based connection number limit function, which can limit the number of connections of each computer, prevent a small number of users from excessively occupying a large number of connections, and ensure the smooth progress of games, Internet access, chat, video and voice.


More useful features

Support dynamic IP, static IP access technology;

Support DDNS and virtual server function, easily build intranet server and private website;

Support UPnP and ALG service functions to ensure that special network applications smoothly penetrate NAT;

All Chinese WEB management interface makes management and maintenance more convenient and faster;
