Peplink Announces MSRP Adjustments Effective June 1, 2026
Peplink has officially notified its distribution and reseller network that a targeted set of router models will receive MSRP adjustments beginning June 1, 2026. The announcement cites continued increases in memory and key component costs, along with ongoing supply constraints that are putting pressure on production costs and lead times across the entire networking industry.
What stands out here is the timing. Peplink is one of the last major router manufacturers to adjust pricing in response to the multi-year chip and component shortage. While most of the industry has already pushed multiple rounds of price increases through over the past several years, Peplink has worked closely with its suppliers to absorb those cost pressures for as long as reasonably possible. That restraint has been a meaningful benefit for buyers, but the underlying cost environment has finally reached a point where a pricing adjustment is necessary to ensure continued supply.
At 5Gstore, we want to give our customers, partners, and enterprise IT teams a clear picture of what is changing, which models are affected, and how to take advantage of the window before new pricing takes effect.
Why Peplink Held the Line Longer Than Most
To understand the context of this announcement, it helps to look at what has been happening across the broader router and networking hardware industry since 2021.
Memory prices, particularly DRAM and NAND flash, have been on an upward trajectory driven by AI infrastructure demand, factory output constraints, and shifting production priorities at major foundries. Specialized silicon used in cellular modems, Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 radios, and enterprise switching ASICs has experienced its own extended lead time challenges. On top of that, passive components, power management ICs, and even enclosure materials have all seen cost increases that ripple through every router that gets built.
Most router vendors responded with pricing adjustments in 2022, again in 2023, and in some cases a third time in 2024 or 2025. Peplink, by contrast, has kept pricing remarkably stable across its portfolio during that same window. The company has relied on careful supplier management, engineering optimizations, and volume commitments to hold the line. That is part of why we have recommended Peplink hardware for so many mission-critical deployments. When you quote a project six months out, you want pricing that does not move underneath you.
The June 1, 2026 adjustment represents the first broad MSRP change Peplink has made in several years, and it is still a targeted change rather than a portfolio-wide reset. The complete SKU list will be published by Peplink in the updated price list on June 1, 2026, but the headline models and price changes are already known.

Important Dates to Know
The rollout schedule Peplink has published is clear and gives buyers a defined window to act.
May 31, 2026: Last day to place orders at current pricing. Orders must be placed before end of day.
June 1, 2026: New MSRP pricing takes effect across all affected SKUs.
That gives you roughly five weeks from today to evaluate pipeline projects, place stock orders, and lock in current pricing on any of the affected models.
What This Means for Different Buyers
The impact of these changes varies quite a bit depending on which part of the Peplink portfolio you rely on and the scale at which you deploy.
For small business and branch office buyers looking at the B One, B One Plus, or B One 5G, the increases are in the $60 to $100 range per unit. That is manageable for a single deployment, but for organizations rolling out ten, twenty, or fifty branch locations, the aggregate difference is real and worth front-loading before June 1.
For mobile and IoT deployments built around the BR1 Mini family, the same logic applies. Fleet operators, digital signage networks, kiosk deployments, and failover-at-scale rollouts often plan in quantities of hundreds. A $70 to $100 per-unit increase compounds quickly at that volume.
For enterprise buyers considering the SDX, SDX Pro, or Balance EC series, the dollar increases are substantial. The Balance 5000 EC alone is going up $7,000. If you have an enterprise project in your pipeline that includes one of these platforms, this is the clearest case for placing orders now.
For managed service providers and integrators, this announcement is a conversation opportunity with your end customers. Clients who have been evaluating a Peplink refresh or a new multi-site rollout can save meaningful dollars by moving forward before the May 31 deadline.
Recommended Actions Before June 1, 2026
Based on Peplink’s guidance and what we have seen in the channel over the past several years of similar adjustments from other vendors, here is what we recommend.
Review your pipeline right now for any quoted projects that include affected Peplink models. If those projects can be firmed up and ordered before May 31, you will capture the current pricing even if the equipment does not ship until later. Place advance orders, whether stock-based or project-based, where possible to secure current pricing. Many of our resellers and direct customers use project POs specifically for this purpose. Plan for extended lead times. Component constraints and longer production cycles are the underlying reason for these adjustments, and lead times on some SKUs are already longer than they were a year ago. Align early with your resellers and end customers on pricing and delivery expectations so there are no surprises once June arrives.
One more practical note. 5Gstore competes not only on Peplink but across the full cellular router landscape including Peplink, Cradlepoint, Teltonika, Semtech, Inseego, Digi, and Katalyst. If a Peplink price increase shifts the math on a given project, we can help you compare alternatives across vendors with honest side-by-side technical advice. We are not going to push a platform that is not right for your deployment.
5Gstore Take
Peplink has earned a reputation for stable pricing, long firmware support, and predictable product lifecycles. The fact that this is their first broad MSRP adjustment after several years of industry-wide turbulence reinforces that reputation rather than undermining it. Most vendors moved prices up two or three times during the same period. Peplink stretched the window as far as they reasonably could.
Our advice is simple. If you have a Peplink project in the pipeline, or stock you plan to carry, now is the time to act. Five weeks is enough time to review, quote, and place orders, but it is not a lot of time for organizations that need internal approvals. If you are not sure whether a model change is better for your use case, or if you want help evaluating alternatives across the full range of brands we carry, our team is available to help you work through it.
Contact your 5Gstore Sales team for guidance. Not only do we recommend purchasing early to avoid the price increase, but we also have options if you do not have space for the equipment right now. We can house your purchases for you and ship as needed, allowing you to lock in current pricing even if you do not have the warehouse space to take delivery on everything at once. This is a service we have offered to project-based customers, MSPs, and integrators for years, and it is particularly useful during pricing windows like this one.
For quotes, project pricing, technical consultations, fulfillment and storage arrangements, or help locking in current MSRP before May 31, contact the 5Gstore team directly. We will get you scoped, quoted, and on the order book before the new pricing takes effect.
