Peplink B One Pro

Works great. Have tried multiple sims and they all seems to work

Do you live in an area with no high speed internet AND spotty cell signal? In my case, I purchased a Verizon Hotspot, but it was lacking in a few ways... #1 when plugged into my WaveForm antenna (that I had just mounted on the roof pointed at the nearest cell tower) the Hotspot didn't stay plugged in well... #2 no scheduling (so it would go to sleep automatically at night), #3 no throttling of those connected, #4 no filtering of unwanted stuff... On the otherhand, the PepLink can do all that (and more). The only struggle has been the learning curve of just knowing how to configure it in the settings so it does exactly what I want it to do. It's been fun, really, learning the in's and out's of it, and now I don't have to subject myself to using satellite internet (which would cost much more than a 50GB/month hotspot The scheduling is VERY cool, you can set it to be off any 1/2 hour in the week, or any number of them, and that is really marvelous. No more, "the WiFi is going off at 10 p.m.!!!", and then having to manually do it, it goes off for you, and then the kids get sleep, and aren't as grumpy to wake up for school in the morning Plus, with the BandWidth Control, you can set the minimum to like 300 kps to maximize the amount of web browsing with minimizing the data usage. You can create user groups to assign more data to different groups You can also watch data usage by month, day, hour, or realtime Oh, did I mention that you can monitor both the signal strengh (dBm) and the quality (dB) in a single graph?! So useful in making sure you're connected to a good signal. AND AND AND... You can actually select the BANDS, the cellular bands, that you want to connect to (in case you think you can figure out something better than what Peplink does on it's own, or, if it for some reason connects to a weak 5G signal or something, but I doubt it would do that. It's fun for testing Plus, the Web Blocking is free! Check boxes for AV, Adware, P2P, File Hosting, Update Sites, & P*r* Lots more even more techy features Am I happy it cost this much? No, but... its a one time cost... and you get a ton of features that the MiFi just does not have

I bought the Peplink B One 5G specifically for CES, thinking the "unbreakable" SpeedFusion marketing would actually hold up under pressure. Spoilers: it didn’t. This thing is a masterclass in false advertising. Three Carriers, Zero Connection I went into the show fully loaded: a Verizon SIM, a T-Mobile SIM, and an AT&T phone tethered as a third backup. On paper, I should have been invincible. In reality? The router still dropped the connection constantly. SpeedFusion is a total joke—it doesn't bond anything effectively; it just adds a mountain of lag and overhead. Having three different major carriers active and still losing internet is pathetic for a device that costs this much. The Software is a Nightmare The "Peplink App" is barely functional, and the actual web interface feels like it hasn’t been updated in fifteen years. It is completely counter-intuitive. If you think you’re going to just "plug and play," think again. You’ll spend hours digging through menus that make no sense, and even then, it won't work right. Scam-Level Customer Service When I reached out for help because the hardware was failing me, they were useless. They refused to give me straightforward instructions on how to fix the drops—even though it’s clearly an issue they could fix on their server side. After it failed me at CES, I sent it back. They had the audacity to only refund 50% of the price. They are basically stealing $300 from me for a product that never worked as advertised. Bottom line: This is a hobbyist project being sold at professional prices. It’s unreliable, the software is trash, and the company will rob you on the return. Stay far away.

The router makes a difference. I have the same internet provider, same plan. My old router took a crap so I bought this one. My Mbps went from 30-60 to 100 Mbps consistently with this router. It was literally plug and play. Plugged this router in and popped in my old SIM card. Bam.

Works great for my use (truck camping, using 2 SIMs and also sometimes a Starlink). Has all the features I want and need. Wish a similar unit was offered for a more affordable price, but ruggedized for temperature, humidity, and ignition spikes.
