Features:

The Peplink Balance 1350 includes 7 advanced load balancing algorithms. Network traffic is distributed to different Internet links to achieve an overall increase of network speed. Simply add low-cost Internet links such as DSL, Cable to your existing network, loading websites will be much faster. Everyone in the network will benefit! Using outbound traffic manager, you can setup rules to route high volume traffic to your faster Internet Links and optimize speed. DSL Optimization will help prioritize increasingly heavy traffic. Intelligent and Automatic Failover performs regular "health checks" to ensure up-to-date statuses, and if one of the links fails, Peplink Balance will automatically re-route traffic to a healthy link to provide continuous internet connectivity.

Even more advanced features include Inbound Load Balancing, enabled by a built-in DNS server on the router, which distributes inbound data traffic over multiple WAN links to computers behind Peplink Balance. PPTN VPN server functionality for up to 300 users, QoS for VoIP and E-Commerce, and Bonded VPN throughput make this an excellent choice for businesses who rely on VPN, and the Bandwidth Usage Monitor allows you to monitor your usage for each connection.

Drop-in Mode, also known as Bridge Mode or Transparent Mode, allows the router to be deployed in an existing network without incurring any configuration changes to existing devices (e.g. routers, firewalls, etc.). The following diagram illustrates how Drop-in Mode simplifies the installation of Peplink Balance and isolates deployment risk to a small number of components:

Options & Upgrades:

This router does NOT have the latest firmware installed. The latest firmware version is included on CD and you can easily upgrade the firmware yourself; alternatively, 3Gstore can perform the upgrade for you before shipping your router for $15. You will need to upgrade the firmware if you want to take advantage of the IPSec feature that was added with firmware 5.3.9 or if you plan to use the Sierra 250U, Franklin U600, or Pantech UML290 (all other modems on the compatibility list will work with the pre-installed firmware). To have 3Gstore update your firmware before shipping, select "upgrade to firmware 5.3.9" from the menu below.

Need your Peplink/Pepwave router updated with your custom configuration before shipping? We can do that too! To have 3Gstore upload your custom configuration before shipping, select "Upload My Custom Config Before Shipping" from the menu below AND make sure to email your config file to sales@3Gstore.com after you place your order!

Extended Warranty and SmartCare Support Packages (optional): Peplink provides a one-year standard warranty at no additional charge. An additional one-year extended warranty can be added below if desired. SmartCare is an additional support option that can be added for one or three years (if the extended warranty is purchased in addition to a SmartCare package, the additional 1 year warranty will begin at the end of the SmartCare term).

The 1-year or 3-year SmartCare packages include:

• Standard Warranty for 1 or 3 years
• Free Firmware Upgrades for 1 or 3 years
• Advance Hardware Replacement for RMA for 1 or 3 years (i.e. if your device needs to be replaced, Pepwave will ship you a replacement without having to receive the defective unit first)
