““I’ve used IQrouters over four years, and they just keep getting better, this new V3 handles my high-speed (300Mbps) line and an ever-growing number of network-connected devices without breaking a sweat! The traffic management has always been great, and the latest is even better, with per-host and per-target fairness to ensure everything just works, even in a large, busy network like mine. Well done!””
