Does TP-Link offer any routers - wired or wireless - that provide IPv4 and IPv6 firewall protection, including "stealth" vs "closed" ports? Thanks.

 

PS: The ER605 models apparently do not offer IPv6 firewall protection, nor do they offer "stealth" ports.

I believe any router they sell (and any other brands made today as well) would meet those requirements.

 

You'd be better served detailing what you are planning to use the router for, if you are looking for a recommendation.

I thought the same as you, that any mainstream network equipment manufacturer would include IPv6 firewall and port stealth features. Sadly, that's not the case with TP-Link. I have an ER605 V1 and a V2. Both support IPv6, but neither includes any IPv6 firewall features, nor does the manufacturer bother to mention this serious omission - as best I can tell. In addition, neither has current firmware that offers port stealth (the latest beta for V2 might, but I have no more time to waste on this product). This is not to mention the astonishing DHCP problems with V1.

 

I don't know about other TP-Link routers, which is why I asked.

 

Search the forum here and you will discover that others have reported these issues as well.

I suppose the lack of response is my answer.

Did you create an IP Group and try to apply it to a Rule?
