Yes. The extended warranty can be purchased any time before the warranty expires. After the expiration date, Peplink has a 30 day grace period, during which you can still purchase the extended warranty. From 30 days up to 1 year after the warranty date expiration, you will need to provide a diagnostic report from the router and if it passes Peplink's test, they will allow you to purchase an extended warranty. See more under "Renewal Policy" on Peplink's Warranty information page here: https://www.peplink.com/support/policies/#support8
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/
Outbound firewall rules are for traffic on your Surf SOHO LAN (local connections) to the Internet. If you want to block incoming connections, this would be the Inbound Firewall rules. If you can confirm all the Internet traffic you need to be 'Allowed' then you could set the Default Inbound rule to 'Deny All' and then follow up by creating 'Allow' rules for everything you might need access for. We recommend consulting with our support team for further assistance.
Peplink does NOT list this hotspot on their USB compatibility so neither they or 5Gstore can confirm it would work. We have seen some unlisted devices work, but if you try it and it doesn't work, you could connect it wirelessly using the WiFi WAN feature. This allows the SOHO router to connect to the hotspot's WiFi signal and then repeat it using its own network.
You can check out the USB compatibility list here if needed:

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.
As of today, 10/23/19, this device is not listed on Peplink's USB compatibility list (https://www.peplink.com/technology/4g3g-modem-support/) so we cannot guarantee it will work with the Surf SOHO MK3.
No, there should be no interference between the WiFi signal from the Surf SOHO and the cellular signal being boosted from the SureCall as they are operating on different frequencies.
Pepwave is 24 Volts Max, A Voltage regulator for the battery output to keep power in the 24 volts range when powering the Pepwave would be required.
This router only includes a power adapter for use in the USA. You will need an adapter to use it elsewhere.
The Pepwave Surf Soho MK3 will charge the MIFI when plugged in for USB tethering.
To backup COnfigurations of the router Select system, Then select configuration on the left, Download Active configurations.
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 have an internal cellular modem. For a router with an Embedded cellular modem. Please refer to the Pepwave Max Br1 mini.
Yes, this will tether usb to the 7730L.
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, any cable modem with an ethernet port for connecting a router will be compatible with the Surf SOHO.
Yes! The WiFi can be completely disabled with a single click in the web interface, while leaving everything else functional.
Most Android devices are supported by USB tethering however we haven't had customers report on that specific device. The USB port does provide power and will keep the phone charged while tethered to the router.
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.
The Surf Soho will work with cable, dsl and satellite devices by connecting into the wan port on the router.
Yes, most android phones work via USB with the SOHO.
The SOHO is a router, so you'll still need a modem from your ISP in order to connect.
No, the Surf SOHO does not support IP Passthrough. For a device that will perform IP passthrough on a USB modem, you'll need to look towards the Cradlepoint IBR650NM. Alternatively, you can use the Pepwave MAX BR1 since it has an embedded cellular modem and will be much more reliable than a consumer USB modem. 5Gstore.com/1/5618
Yes! This hotspot is compatible with the SOHO by USB tether.
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.
Any WiFi antenna with an RP-SMA connector is compatible. The included antennas in testing provide a good quality connection along with good range. There are other higher gain antennas available but high gain and long ranges don't help if the signal quality isn't there as well.
Yes, you'll connect the device to the ethernet WAN port on the Surf SOHO. The SOHO will treat that device just like it was a cable modem.
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.
Three external 2.4/5.0ghz paddle antennas are included with the surf soho router.
Yes, you can do this. You will be able to turn off the wifi via a web browser.
Yes, within the WiFi WAN connection, you can order WiFi networks by priority. This is a drag and drop interface just like the other WAN settings.
Yes, the SOHO stores the SSID and password. If the WiFi WAN connection is active, it will automatically connect to a saved profile.
Yes, they send and receive signal. Some people take one off and replace it with an external wifi antenna if the wifi hotspot you're trying to connect via wifi as wan is farther away.
Yes, connecting via tethered is going to be faster. Connecting via wifi as wan, will slow down the speed a little.
You can leave the Surf SOHO running 24/7/365. There is no need to shut it off when not in use.
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.
The Surf SOHO does advanced WAN bandwidth monitoring. You can determine how much data each device on your network used per day, week, or month, and per WAN if you have more than 1 connection for failover. You can also watch this video showing the monitoring in action.
The Surf SOHO can only do PepVPN to another Pepwave router, or act as a PPTP server for other devices. It can not be used to log into a third-party VPN service. The router will allow 3rd party VPN services to pass through to the connected LAN devices.
Yes, you will be able to tether the hotspot to the Pepwave surf soho router. When purchased with 5gstore, we have a tipsheet that shows you how to do this.
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 does 2.4 and 5.0ghz concurrent.
Yes, the SOHO can tether with a MiFi 4620 hotspot over USB. You must ensure the hotspot is set up in USB Tether mode, by default this is disabled unless you have purchased the SOHO with the Millenicom service through us.
You can network two Surf SOHO routers with PepVPN directly, as well as a Surf SOHO and a Balance 210 or higher.
Yes, you can pickup a WiFI network then repeat a brand new network out from the Surf SOHO. This can be done over WiFi or also done over the LAN interface.
WiFi as WAN should work with these types of networks - once your router/bridge is connected to the network, you should see the splash page when you open a browser on a computer connected to the network.
However, there are some instances where these types of networks do not "play nice" with WiFi as WAN - compatibility can be affected by the type of hardware or security setup used by the administrator of the WiFi source. We cannot guarantee that every WiFi source will work.
