Great router! Works great with my 1g/1g link! I recommend it!

Very handy little router. Perfect for small server applications because of the built in VPN server.

I bought this for our home network, which has Spectrum main and Verizon 4G LTE backup Internet services. The Spectrum service is delivered through a cable modem in bridge mode to WAN1 of the Cudy R700, and the Verizon Business Gateway is set for IP pass-through on WAN2. The R700 has a standard GUI that is easy to access and the various settings are easy to adjust. As some others have noted, those among us that want to use an unlimited bandwidth main Internet connection and a capped backup connection suffer from a lack of information. I hope that this review will help with this. Log in to the R700 and go to General Settings > WAN Mode and select port 2 to create WAN2. Be sure to click Save & Apply and now you have WAN1 and WAN2 set up. Now connect your uncapped service on port 1 / WAN1 and your capped backup service port 2 / WAN2. You can then take port 5 / LAN and connect it to your home router / home network. Verify the LEDs on all of the ports are flashing to visually confirm activity, and then in the GUI go to System Status to confirm that the R700 indeed "sees" WAN1 and WAN2 "Connected" and online. Click Load Balancing > More Details > Settings > Member. Click Edit on WAN1 and set Metric=1 and Weight=3 and then click Save. Click Edit on WAN2 and set Metric=2 and Weight=3 and then click Save. My R700 came with Firmware Version 1.15.5 UN and required no other modifications than these, and the result is all traffic on WAN1 and zero traffic on WAN2. When WAN1 goes down WAN2 will take 100% of the traffic. Lastly, when WAN1 comes back online, traffic is rerouted 100% back to WAN1 and WAN2 returns to idle / failover mode. I have performed extensive testing to confirm this behavior over several days and confirmed it with data usage details on the cellular account. The failover performance is impressive, and the R700's interface tracking is superb with its out-of-the-box settings. The R700 can determine if service is up or down with such sensitivity that even active video streams are not interrupted when pulling the WAN1 connection right out of the port. Spectrum service in my area is good, but has occasional outages a few times per year lasting an hour or two at a time on average, and if the power goes down Spectrum goes down too. Our home has a backup generator and our network has a large UPS as well, so the Verizon cellular connection never goes down but it is slower and costly, so it is imperative that it is used strictly for backup use. We work from home and have an extensive amount of IoT devices, tablets, phones, security cameras, lights, thermostats etc. that require a constant Internet connection in order to maintain the control and convenience of the entire home; we now no longer have to worry about the Spectrum outages on account of the failover performance of this multi-WAN device. The Verizon backup service is provisioned for 1 GB of data per month and we have not exceeded the allowance thus far. That said, each additional GB block of data is $15, so again it is crucial that the device NOT use WAN2 at all unless WAN1 goes down, and the R700 does the job very well in my experience. I had to get the information on the Metric and Weight settings from Cudy directly, which did respond to my email about a week after I sent it, so I just posted this review in order to help anyone that wanted to employ the R700 for a similar purpose. Please be aware that if the above steps are not taken, the WAN1 and WAN2 ports when enabled will be utilized in Load Balancing mode with the device defaults, which will effectively divide your traffic between the interfaces, which WILL consume data on WAN2; in other words, NOT failover. I hope this helps and I am very happy that with a small investment of just a little time and patience on the R700 to make sure it was set the way we needed. There is no other device of this type available at this time that can deliver this kind of performance for $50. It's a solid device with good performance at a great price, well worth just a little effort during setup to ensure your highly online life remains connected through the inevitable outages that will come.

Ho una ADSL classica, ... ma molto lenta, ed una 4G basata su un Modem Tenda con SIM Vodafore. Il dispositivo permette di utilizzar entrambe le reti distribuendo il carico sulle due reti internet entranti (Load Balanging)e/o per poter utilizzare una rete come backup dell'altra. Piccolo, poco ingombrante con contenitore metallico ed una completa interfaccia di configurazione e controllo via web

Great little device for multi-WAN setups. Works flawlessly once you understand how to configure. Look up documentation for OpenWRT mwan3.The company sucks for not releasing modern OpenWRT / Luci on this, but rather some custom fork. Luckily, someone from the community is trying to add mainline OpenWRT support now.One thing missing is the ability to ssh into the device for lower level configuration.
