I've deployed a couple of these now, and for the feature set at this price point, I've been very happy with them. The back end is a little unintuitive to navigate for some things, but with some wandering around, you can find what you need. I wish Peplink wasn't forcing a changeover to built in wireless for the entry level models with only offering the 20X now, but these are great while they last!

Our IT person told us to order this product & it is working!

These things are amazing.

Really like this router.

Date Added: 12/23/2016 by Richard G. (ALEXANDRIA, VA)

This is an excellent product. Reliable, does what I need it to do. When I had a problem setting the time zone, 5Gstore was quick to respond with help. When their suggestions didn't work, they got Peplink involved, who eventually solved the problem with the router. Except for that one tick with the time zone, the router has been solid. Great support.

Setup is super easy!

Date Added: 06/12/2015 by Michael B. (Stow, OH)

Simple to configure

Date Added: 10/03/2014 by Daniel J. (Evansville, IN)

It worked, initially. I put it in storage for over a year. When I pulled it out again, it would not make contact with a network, nor connect to my computer. I ended up replacing it with a different router.

Sort By:

How tall (physically) are the Wifi & Cell antennas? Needed for sizing on shelf height spacing.

The B One 5g utilizes the following:

(4) Peplink Paddle Indoor LTE/5G Wideband (600-6000MHZ) Cellular Antenna - SMA Male Connector (https://5gstore.com/1/13020)

(2) Pepwave 7.5" WiFi Paddle Antenna (2.4Ghz) (https://5gstore.com/product/6510)

The Cellular antennas are 5.5" long and the WiFi antennas are 7.5".

Does the Balance 20 router support synergy mode?

Yes, the Balance 20 just needs to be on firmware 8.3.0 or higher and have an active care plan to act as the synergy controller.

More information regarding compatibility and requirements can be found at the link below:

https://forum.peplink.com/t/synergy-mode-firmware-830/639be7d8af8c71a6f3050323/

Does the Peplink Balance 20 support OpenVPN?

Yes. In order to use openVPN you need to purchase the OpenVPN license for the device.

What can I use to add WiFi capabilities to the Peplink Balance router?

The simplest solution is to use one of Pepwave Access Points like the AP One Mini (http://5gstore.com/1/3516) or AP One (http://5Gstore.com/1/3172) - those solutions are plug-and-play and are built to work seamlessly with the Balance routers.

If you have a WiFi router you wish to use, most WiFi routers can be re-purposed to serve as an access point, but additional setup is required and that would not be covered by 5Gstore's tech support (we cannot assist with third party equipment).
