For users with large apartments and complex building layouts, it is difficult to obtain good Wi-Fi coverage with only one router.

TP-LINK provides a set of professional and convenient solutions for this purpose. The AC integrated router is paired with wireless panel APs and routers in each room to provide high-quality, high-speed, and stable wireless network coverage experience for home users and small and micro enterprises.

TL-R4218GPE-AC is a new generation of PoE· AC all-in-one router products have built-in AC (wireless controller) and standard PoE (Power over Ethernet) functions, providing 16 Gigabit PoE ports and 2 2.5G SFP ports, which can be used with up to 15 APs at the same time to provide a faster wireless network coverage experience. It also supports web authentication, IPSec/PPTP/L2TP? VPN, online behavior management, PPPoE server, firewall, intelligent bandwidth control and other rich software functions.

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

Built-in AC (wireless controller) function, which is both a router and a wireless controller, can manage up to 100 TP-LINK AP products in a unified manner to build a wireless network;

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

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

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

A variety of VPNs for secure communication over long distances

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

It supports PPTP VPN and L2TP VPN server/client modes, which is convenient for employees on business trips and mobile office workers to remotely access the internal server of the enterprise, and easily realize remote work.

Manage online behavior and standardize employees' use of the Internet

Built-in database of common Internet applications, which can control various desktop and mobile Internet applications with one click, including social software/video software/music software/shopping and leisure software/news and information software/P2P software/financial software/online games/app stores/basic applications, etc.;

Built-in database of hundreds of URLs in more than a dozen categories, which can restrict employees' access to the corresponding website with one click;

It supports filtering file expansion types, which can easily filter various small files embedded in web pages to prevent viruses and Trojans from invading the enterprise network and endangering network security through these small files.

A variety of authentication methods, control the Internet access, and realize advertising and marketing

Support web authentication, and push merchant advertising information through the authentication page;

Support SMS authentication, meet the requirements of real-name authentication, and can carry out secondary marketing based on mobile phone number;

It supports PPPoE servers, which can realize unified dial-up Internet access for intranet users.

Efficient firewall to ensure internal and external network security

Support IP and MAC address binding, effectively preventing intranet/extranet ARP spoofing; In the event of ARP spoofing, the system can send ARP correction messages at specified frequencies to restore the normal state of the network in a timely manner.

It supports intranet/extranet attack protection and can effectively prevent various common DoS attacks, scanning attacks, and suspicious packet attacks.

It supports MAC address-based filtering to effectively block the access of unauthorized hosts.

It can assign permissions through routers for various network services to ensure internal and external network security, and supports access control rules based on user groups and time periods to achieve more refined management.

Flexible bandwidth control to ensure reasonable bandwidth utilization

It supports elastic policies that enable bandwidth control based on bandwidth utilization, and can perform bidirectional bandwidth control for each host (IP) in the network, effectively inhibiting P2P applications such as BT and Thunderbolt from over-occupying bandwidth and ensuring smooth network at all times.

It provides an IP-based connection limit function, which can limit the number of connections occupied by each computer, prevent a small number of users from excessively occupying a large number of connections, and ensure the smooth operation of games, Internet surfing, chatting, video and voice, etc.
