User questions & answers

Question:	Does this have the original Jemima face on the bottle
Answer:	No, it says not to put it in the fridge
Question:	Do you ship in Italy
Answer:	You are WRONG! The product is made from SOLUBLE CORN FIBER which is RESISTANT MALTODEXTRIN! READ about Soluble Corn Fiber BEFORE you go berserk! Here is the TRUTH: Resistant Maltodextrin Vs. Maltodextrin Many people confuse resistant maltodextrin with maltodextrin — and for a good reason. Both ingredients are made from corn. But resistant maltodextrin bypasses the normal digestive process and instead ferments in the large intestine. Maltodextrin, on the other hand, can be absorbed during digestion and may cause spikes in your blood sugar that could kick you out of ketosis. Another distinct difference between the two is their viscosity. While soluble corn fiber (resistant maltodextrin) is non-viscous, maltodextrin is quite viscous and can be added to foods as a thickener.

User questions & answers

Question:	How many Port Forwards or Virtual Servers are supported? Most consumer class routers only allow 16-20, I need more than that
Answer:	No it does not- I received my order today (1/11/21) and it is the same one at my local grocery store.
Question:	Does this switch support link aggregation ? Looking to hook up a decent Synology NAS which has two Ethernet ports to utilize the higher throughput
Answer:	We do not. Only ship in the US
Question:	Is the radio power adjustable? I.e., can you turn the transmission power down for smaller areas
Answer:	No. It is a thick luscious syrup and does not leave any after taste like artificial sweeteners can. The only difference I can detect between it and real maple syrup is it does not seem quite as sweet.
Question:	Can I attach this to a cable modem and use simply as a router
Answer:	The Lavanko syrup is thinner and sweeter at first, but does have an off after taste and feeling on the tongue. This one is thicker and more like 'real' syrup but not as sweet at Lavanko or the real deal. I'm planning to try the other flavors to see if they are sweeter than this maple flavor version, but between the two, I choose this one over Lavanko.

Question:	can i plug a 3G / 4G dongle into this
Answer:	This does not provide wireless service so there is no radio.
Question:	will it connect to a hotel wifi through their wifi authentication and T&C screen
Answer:	Yes. though the instructions must be outdated or something. there is no "quick setup" option. First connect one computer and connect to the IP address of the router(192.168.0.1) via a web browser. You will then create a username and password for the router. In order to get the other devices to receive internet, you must go to Network settings>WAN and turn those ports to LAN by selecting the radio buttons above them. Only the port connected to the Modem should be "WAN". Then you can go to Network Setting > LAN, select DHCP Client list from the top ribbon, and you will see the connected devices.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this easy to set up for someone who isn’t tech savvy? Needed only for doorbell camera for grandparents who don’t have a computer
Answer:	The security gateway is intended to integrate with the UniFi platform and the integration is solid but still a little limited feature wise still. Administration of the gateway is literally done through UniFi; you don't really access the gateway directly. The EdgeRouters are their own standalone platform, development and web based options are farther along but no UniFi development. If you have a heavily Ubiquiti based network and want everything talking to each other, the security gateway is better. If you want to treat your router as a router and nothing more, the EdgeRouter line makes more sense.
Question:	Which is the better buy: tp-link ac1900 or ac2600 - and why? (i'm not real hip to routers
Answer:	The ability to use the VoIP port as a second WAN has been added to the latest controller software. The feature itself is currently in beta but seems to work in limited testing
Question:	How does this archer a9 differ from the archer c
Answer:	Yes, you can set it up in bridge mode.
Question:	What is the coverage range
Answer:	I use an Edgerouter (ER-POE5). I also use some products out of the Unifi line, like the Unifi Access Points with the Unifi Controller software installed on a Raspberry Pi. I don't specifically use the Unifi Security Gateway. I would say the main difference though is the way you manage the product. My EdgeRouter is more or less "standalone managed". It has a console port you can connect to, or you can manage it via the built in web interface, or you can SSH into it and use the CLI. Honestly, I really like the EdgeRouter because it does everything I need it to do very easily. It is capable of higher traffic volumes than this security gateway (my model does 2+ million packets per second), and it has great features like DHCP, a built in firewall, QOS, DNS, etc. It's relatively straightforward to figure it out. But it doesn't integrate into the "Unifi Controller" for centralized management. And that's really the big sell when it comes to the Unifi Security Gateway. You can install a single controller, and use that to manage all your Unifi devices. I have that installed to manage two access points. It may be a bit overkill for that. But, if you are at a school with a bunch of access points and switches (Unifi switches can also be managed through controller), then then Unifi Security Gateway might be nice if you want just a "single pane of glass". I would just look through the feature list carefully for the USG, and if it has the features you need, and if you are going to be buying all your switches and APs from the Unifi line also, then go for it as it may simplify your life. If this is going to be your only Ubiquiti product, then I probably recommend a standalone EdgeRouter that you manage directly.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this router secured against Krack
Answer:	Yes, our routers are designed for quick and easy setup, and can be installed using the TP-Link Tether app on a smartphone. Regards, TP-Link Support
Question:	Does this have an option to span/mirror all traffic to one port for monitoring
Answer:	I can only comment on the 1900. For my needs it's perfect. I needed a router with long range, my house is apprx 3000sq with multiple floors. Certain areas of the house fell out of the range of my old Linksys. With the 1900 all my devices generate a full signal anywhere in the house and even outside in the back yard. The 1900 appears to handle multiple devices with no degradation of signal or speed. Since you didn't say what your needs are I can't comment further.
Question:	Where can i get the sources for the 'gl' packages for our security audit? source-level audits and internal builds of devices like this are a must
Answer:	the Archer C90 is a new edition of Archer C1900, and the software functions of the 2 routers are the same while the sales channel may be different. for example, A9 is available for the online stores only, like Amazon or so. Archer C90 supports fat32、ntfs、exfat、hfs+, A9 supports NTFS,FAT32 only.
Question:	Will this work if a hotel has a login screen
Answer:	WiFi coverage range will vary depending on your environment and which WiFi band you are connecting to. For optimal coverage, we always recommend installing the router in a central location within your home.

30+ Commercial VPN Provider Compatibility

Got a commercial VPN provider that you really like? No problem, there’s more than 25+ VPNs compatible with our pre-installed OpenVPN client. OpenVPN is a tried-and-true software, and a common standard for security-minded VPN users. WireGuard is based on a concept called Cryptokey Routing. This is an impressive new technology that’s worth trying if you’re looking for performance boosts beyond what OpenVPN can provide. It’s a much faster security protocol than OpenVPN; WireGuard VPN can clock 68Mbps, compared to OpenVPN that can only hit 17Mbps.

Connects Multiple Workplaces Seamlessly

Slate Comes with Pre-installed VPN server and client functions in WireGuard and OpenVPN. With Slate, you can bring all your workplaces together with a single, secure private cloud with OpenVPN or WireGuard. Don’t worry about changing your network when you change your workplace. You won’t need to reconfigure and reconnect all your devices as well; they’ll all connect automatically each time you fire up your Slate.

Pre-Configured Cloudflare DNS Over TLS

This option uses the TLS security protocol for encrypting DNS queries, which helps increase privacy and prevent eavesdropping. When it comes to browsing privacy, DNS is often the weak link in the chain. Having Cloudflare DNS over TLS is a new feature, previously only possible with professional modification of your router. The Slate comes with this feature baked in; it’s as easy as flipping the toggle in the user interface.

The Pouch bag of Slate is not included in the package. Please order it on Amazon separately.
