UTT AC750GW Small Business Dual Band Wireless AC Gigabit VPN Router, Dual+ WAN ports, Load Balance/Failover, 10 x IPSec/PPTP VPN, 750Mbps, 7dBi Detachable Antennas, USB for file sharing, Metal Housing

There is no doubt, this thing IS a powerhouse for a home user. 1st, I am getting 150mb through the wan port, no lag at all. 2nd, It has all the advanced routing features that you need to deal with just about any situation. 3rd, it is actually rack mountable. 4th, the gui is very straight forward. The chinese developers were very accurate with their english menus which is rare with chinese devices.OK... UpdateI still am really liking this router. Turns out thegreenbow client is not as stable as I would like. I had to switch to pptp. less secure but it's a good connection and it works with windows built in vpn client. I ordered another one of these and set up a vpn gateway and it seems pretty stable so far. I had the gateway set up with a netgear and it was solid for a month until the netgear went on the frits. i read online that negear vpns are glitchy and unstable so there ya go. after I mounted this router in my rack, it started to reboot every few hours. Tech support was very responsive but clueless. I have discussed other issues with tech support as well and they are always very responsive but clueless. turns out it was just over heating in the rack and a simple fan solved the problem. Temp behind unit was around 100 degrees before fans. Now running at 88 degrees and stable. If i get a client up and running stable on ipsec, I will update.like others have said, it would be great if the web interface used ssl and would be great if it offered L2TP. Also, I have not yet created a stable ipsec vpn using client software with this router. A diagnostic ping utility would be helpful. A window to view routing table would be useful. A way to limit remote access to few select IP's would be useful.UPDATEI have posted lengthy updates to this review that don't seem to be updating. But I will try again. I finally got a stable ipsec client vpn going. I had to set the keepalive to 3 seconds on the utt router, I had to set dpd to 15 seconds on thegreenbow client software and 30 seconds on the utt server. This is the only combination that creates a stable connection and I have no idea why. Obviously UTT techs don't know these things cause they do not offer these explanations. As a CCNA, CCNP, MCT, MCSE, MCSD I will sum it up like this.... VPN's are tricky business. This seems to be a solid product. Like a lot of computer related things, you might have to play with and tinker with it for a few weeks before you get the results you are looking for, but so far I HAVE got the results I was looking for with this router. Other product like Zyxell are fantastic and stable as can be, but Zyxell is very complex and takes a lot of concentration and even something like forwarding a port can take 30 minutes to configure on a zyxell. This UTT router is about as simple as it gets. You can set it up start to finish in 15 minutes.And yet another update:So everything was up and stable and working for weeks and all of a sudden internet stops working. Router ip accessible and working. everything says it is up, but no internet. Reboot router and everything works for about 10 hours then stops again... and again... and again....etc... Every reboot fixes it for about half a day or a few hours. It's as if the routing table glitches out and stops routing properly. I can't confirm that though cause there is no way to view the routing table. So I messed with it for a day with no luck. I re-flashed firmware and reconfigured from scratch and it is working great again... for now. So I remove another star.

This works great. It fails over nicely if you shut off the upstream device that is directly connected. Then it fails over nicely. If you have a flaky ISP router. If that is the case just buy a another router to fix flaky upstream router.But what it doesn't do is check if the internet connection that is connected to the upstream device is working. So if the upstream device is working but the internet connection is clogged, crawling or even failed, this wont detect that. Because the immediately connected port of the UTT is working. Therefore it thinks all is good. But then their competitor TP-Link 470 doesn't do that either. TP-Link 480 does that, but barely. PepWave is way too costly.I ended up buying a enterprise class device SonicWall T215W for $89.00 on ebay, with transferable support contract that is good till 2021. That gives me solid firewall functionality, 1GB upstream, along with wireless LAN functionality.And I don't have to mess with the cheap Chinese junk or terrible support.

Excellent! Tried the TP-Link TL-R470T+ with intentions to hook up a second WAN connection to help speed up multi-user connections in the house since we're stuck on a 5mbps dsl connection. Old router was stable for over a year straight. TP-Link couldn't keep a DSL connection alive for more than 4 hours, and once it dropped, it had to be manually reset. Was also not a gigabit ethernet router. Returned it.Decided to go a couple steps up and buy this since it would allow an easier configuration since I didn't need to keep a wifi router in AP mode in addition to a dual wan router. First unboxing, was pretty surprised at how big it was. I'm so used to small form factor routers that this relatively unappealing looking brick of a thing caught me a little off guard. You can lay two WNR3500L's flat on top of it with a little room to spare. Didn't mind, had the space for it.Hooked it all up, had internet before I could log in to the GUI and actually set it up. That's a very good sign, I thought to myself. Logged in, guessed the default password on the first try. It can be found in the manual, but what's the fun in that? Set up wifi, took 30 seconds for both the 2.4 ghz band and 5ghz band as it should. Not complicated. Set up the static IP's needed for a server in the house, a T-Mobile mini tower, and security cameras. The failed router I purchased before took me several hours to coerce it to actually forward the ports I asked it to. It had very fast menu's but didn't seem to want to actually do anything asked of it. This one however, immediately forwarded the needed ports and the lights on the T-Mobile tower went steady within 30 seconds. Nice! Server needed ports manually forwarded since the Windows Home Server Upnp auto setup didn't play nice for whatever reason. No biggie. uTorrent configured itself just fine, along with everything else in the house.The antennas are high gain. That doesn't mean they somehow create more power, it means they compress it into a narrower field. Take a balloon, put it on a table, and push down on the top. That's the shape of a high gain antenna signal. Keep pushing down for higher gain. That means a vertical high gain antenna will get garbage signal if you put it on the third floor of a building and expect solid signal 50 feet from the building outside three floors down. My driveway slopes down, and this router is on the second floor and has to fire through about 5 walls before getting to the driveway. Signal strength is the same if not a tad weaker at the bottom of the slope of my driveway. However, on the other side of the house where the ground is much more flat, signal strength is fantastic 120 feet from the router through one wall, with a one story drop. Couldn't be happier, more than I expected out of a wifi signal.Now for the kicker. Been running for over 24 hours without dropping the one DSL connection and requiring a reset. Seems very stable. Very happy. Second internet drop comes in 5 days. Once that's hooked up and I have some time with it, I'll update further.UPDATE: Still running great. Got the second DSL drop running through it now and it's handling the load balancing great. There's lots of settings in here and they're not all obvious as to how they function unless you know what you're doing or look them up. Some other settings are much simpler to use on more mainstream routers such as my older Netgear, particularly in the QOS department, but this router is just as stable so far. Has a little readout of cpu and memory usage on the home screen, and memory has stayed at 19 to 20 percent for two weeks of up-time so I'm not seeing any severe memory leaks causing problems. CPU is almost always at 0 or 1 percent, so clearly I'm not even putting a dent in its package transfer cap, not too surprised there. Very happy overall, even if in the next year or so I'll be pulling the antennas, rack mounting it with a switch and a couple servers and using AP's to handle the wifi once I wire the house for Cat5E. That's the beauty of this thing though, diversity.
