What size did you expect?

Rack mountable would suggest it is going to be 440mm wide and 1U (44mm) high.

The spec suggests it will consume a max of 60w. From the spec: 100-240V~ 50/60Hz 0.6A so max current at lowest voltage 0.6X100 >> 60w. That will be when everything is working flat out - idle it will be a lot less.

Routers can be big too, especially if space for upgradeable memory and other options

You may need it for HTTPS traffic, etc. http://uk.tp-link.com/article/?id=150

What are you using to get the bonding for the downstream? How are you testing the downstream bonding?

The problem is you are only controlling one direction of the traffic with the local router and so to get the fine line speed downstream you would need multiple threads that are taking different routes. If it is a single thread or all threads are taking the same route then you will not max it out.

Can the router show you stats as to which route is being used. It is also possible that it is prioritising the Virgin route due to better line metrics.
