Do I Need the Feature Pack for My Peplink MAX BR1 Mini HW3?

The Peplink MAX BR1 Mini has been a versatile solution since its hardware revision one release. With its small size and reliable cellular connection, many users found it to be the right fit for their application. Peplink even released a similar version called the BR1 Mini Core, which is meant for users who don’t require WiFi or GPS support. 

At its third hardware release, Peplink created a feature pack to add additional WAN support, if needed. If you’re unaware, the BR1 Mini comes only with the Cellular WAN active. This feature pack license is a one time fee, which activates the Ethernet WAN and WiFi WAN connections. It also provides support for SpeedFusion Hot Failover and Bandwidth Bonding. 

Now, BR1 Mini users can rejoice as the feature pack will no longer be needed when you have a valid PrimeCare subscription (warranty plan). This will however require a firmware upgrade to the recently released version of 8.3.1 (download 8.3.1 firmware for BR1 Mini HW3 here).
