You can enter the serial number on our website and it should tell you the full model version

No, the 5G model of the Peplink MAX adapter is not compatible with the Pepwave Surf SOHO MK3. Only the LTE variant will work with the Surf SOHO MK3.

IPv6 is supported for the Peplink Surf SOHO MK3's WAN connection, not the LAN. The LAN is still IPv4 only.

The Surf SOHO supports SpeedFusion, L2TP, and Open VPN. It also has Wi-Fi as WAN and standard Wi-Fi broadcast features. The router has a default SSID broadcasting and ready to use out of the box.

The MAC address can be manually changed for the physical WAN ports only on Peplink devices.

WiFi Range 250-300' through walls with the external antennas connected, much greater unobstructed (variable depending on interference from other electronics and physical interference such as walls and ceilings)

5Gstore recommends the Pepwave Mobility 02 2 x WiFi Dome Antenna for an external solution. See here: https://5gstore.com/product/10298_pepwave_mobility_02_2_x_wifi_dome_antenna_puma_020ant-mb-02.html

This does not speed up failover over having each WAN in a different priority. What CAN speed up failover is using Peplink's SpeedFusion Cloud to utilize Hot Failover.

Yes, this can be done via the local web admin page via the support.cgi section OR via InControl2 (Peplink's cloud manager).

Yes, any cable modem can connect to the SOHO's WAN port.

The Surf SOHO is recommended for up to 25 users, though there is no limit set into the device for number of wireless connections.

Yes, this AP will work with the Pepwave SoHo MK3 router, but unlike some of the Peplink Balance and Pepwave MAX routers, it does not support the AP Controller function. This just means you will have to log into its own web administration page to configure its settings.

Yes, this antenna will work as an external antenna for the Pepwave Soho for the wifi.

No. The USB port on the Pepwave is strictly used as a WAN connection and only supports USB modems/ hotspots that are listed on Peplink's compatibility chart here: https://www.peplink.com/technology/4g3g-modem-support/

The Pepwave will work with the Verizon Mifi 8800L Hotspot with USB tethering and Wifi WAN.

Peplink does not currently have a limit to how long any kind of firmware update will be provided for this and their other current hardware.

No, not at this time. This used to work with past firmware. However, after extensive testing by the Peplink team, they had to remove it from their compatibility list as it would not work with past or present firmware.

The Pepwave Surf Soho MK3 can broadcast 3 total Wifi networks.

The Pepwave Surf SOHO does NOT support the AP Controller feature, which is what would allow you to have WiFi controlled by the main router. This provides the exact same SSID settings on the SOHO and your APs so you only have to configure the settings once. With the SOHO, you have to configure the APs separately. Technically, they are separate SSIDs, but you can still configure them with the same SSID and passwords to help with hand off between APs. The APs also support bridge mode, which means anything that connects through the APs will be on the same network as anything connected to the SOHO.

Yes, the 6620L would tether to the usb port on the Surf Soho router. If your tv model has a wifi adapter it will connect via wifi to the router. If it doesn't, you will need to connect via ethernet to the router.

Yes, you can setup e-mail alerts and be notified when it changes. Also, you can tell when looking in the dashboard.

Yes, The Pepwave Surf SOHO MK3 will allow the selection of WPA2 without having to use the WPA/WPA2 Security Policy.

Yes, the ZTE-915 Will tether with the Pepwave Surf Soho Mk3 router.

Yes, it is on Pepwave's compatibility chart.

Yes! The WiFi can be completely disabled with a single click in the web interface, while leaving everything else functional.

The Surf SOHO is recommended for up to 25 users, though there is no limit set into the device. A connected printer for example would be less than 1 'user' since its just sitting waiting for a print request vs a full user who may be surfing the web and streaming media.

Yes, most android phones work via USB with the SOHO.

No, the Surf SOHO does not support IP Passthrough. Alternatively, you can use the Pepwave MAX BR1 Mini since it has an embedded cellular modem (rather than USB) and will be much more reliable. See here: https://5Gstore.com/1/11484

You can have multiple saved WiFi WAN profiles and prioritize them in order of importance, however it can only connect to one network at a time. You can have WiFI WAN active and tethering active at the same time, but one connection would be in standby. The SOHO is a single active WAN failover router. It can not have two simultaneous internet connections running at the same time. For that you would need a load balancing router.

Yes, the Surf SOHO supports USB tethering with the 6620L and many other hotspots right out of the box. There is no special configuration required on the SOHO or hotspot to make this work.

Yes, the SOHO stores the SSID and password. If the WiFi WAN connection is active, it will automatically connect to a saved profile.

They send and receive signal for the local WiFi access as well as for any WiFi WAN connections. Some people take one antenna off and replace it with an external WiFi antenna if the WiFi WAN source you're trying to connect is far away.

Yes, the SOHO has two mounting holes in the bottom of the router. Using two screws (not included) you can mount the SOHO to any surface.

No, the Surf SOHO does not support bridge mode.

No, you can't tether the iPhone to this router. However, if you activate the hotspot on the phone, you can connect via wifi as wan.

Yes, the new MK3 surf soho will broadcast 2.4 and 5 GHz simultaneously.

The Pepwave Surf comes with a default WiFi name and password, so you can use any WiFi device to connect to it - no computer necessary. Once you're connected via WiFi, you would then use your browser to access the user interface/admin console of the router and configure the WiFi as WAN.

Yes, you can network two Surf SOHO routers with PepVPN.
