Peplink B-One WiFi Router | Dual-WAN for high Reliability Small Office or Home connectivity | WiFi 6 | Works with 2 Internet Connections to Ensure Your Office is Always Online

Was able to install the router with some help. If you are in uae then you will need to set the wan vlan. For me it was 21 but for you the value could be different. Check your ISP router settings and copy them over. You will need the popppe username and password as well

I recently upgraded from my previous generation Peplink Surf SOHO, which had a throughput of around 150 Mbps and served me reliably for several years. My satisfaction with that model is what motivated me to stick with Peplink and upgrade to their B-ONE router, which supports 1 Gbps throughput. When connected via a wired connection, I consistently measure download speeds of 980 Mbps on my COMCAST 1000/35 plan (WAN1). On WiFi, using a MacBook Pro M3 (WiFi 6E) positioned 2 yards next to the B-ONE (WiFi 6), I achieve around 300 Mbps. The reduced speed could likely be due to interference from at least 12 neighboring WiFi networks managed by my HOA neighbors. The router’s QoS management is excellent, allowing me to significantly improve my VoIP call quality by prioritizing audio over file transfers. One of the features that exceeded my expectations was the seamless failover from WAN1 (COMCAST) to WAN2 (Starlink WiFi), which is delivered via a second-generation Starlink router (WiFi 5) located about 60 feet away in the carport with one wall in between. The transition from WAN1 to WAN2 is flawless — when I disconnect the COMCAST cable from the WAN1 port, the internet connection remains stable through the B-ONE WiFi AP. In terms of performance, the B-ONE meets all my expectations. A positive surprise was the quick and effective support I received from Peplink when I encountered a minor software issue. After upgrading the pre-configured firmware from 8.3.0 to 8.5.0, I received a misleading error message stating “BLE component is incompatible with the firmware.” It turned out this was a false alarm, as there is no actual Bluetooth incompatibility with the new firmware. Peplink support promptly provided a workaround to suppress the error message, and the responsiveness and expertise of both their team and the user community on the Peplink forum further reinforced my confidence in their products. Overall, I’m thoroughly impressed with Peplink’s quality and the community that surrounds their products. I’m now a committed Peplink fan.

I loved my Peplink Surf SOHO but wanted something with higher throughout. This 1gbps B One router fit the bill, and I couldn't be happier. If you are looking for a router with business class features and security that won't break the bank, this is it! I have it set up with two virtual LANs, one for my IoT devices and one for my home machines, and will probably configure a few more for guest network and my work machines. Peplink let's me isolate machines on VLans, which is a great way to keep your network secure from a Lan-side attack (think malware loaded into a Ring camera or something). Just search for Peplink Router Security setup and read about what these routers can do! I have it set up with Cloudflare's Family DNS service so I am getting ad and malware blocking and adult content blocking for all connected devices. Overall, I saw my download speeds reach their advertised 300 Mbps of my cable service provider with 200+ common on wifi. This was a big step up from the 60-120 Mbps from the old SOHO. Am soon upgrading to 1gig fiber so can't wait to really unleash this machine. I have a smallish house so have no wireless signal strength issues (seems very comparable to the SOHO). Best part with Peplink is they never stop maintaining firmware. This is a quality business grade product and I expect many years of great performance and security just like I had with their previous model.

I'm a veteran of the networking realm, I've lived and breathed Cisco in the enterprise for the last 20+ years. This device has impressed me from day one of unboxing it. It is incredibly sophisticated and powerful for such a small price. The feature set is unrivaled, and the best thing is it simply just works and it works exceedingly well. Let me give you some scenarios. When my wife and I moved to a new house, the internet service we could get was DSL and Starlink. DSL is absolutely dreadful, the connection is unstable nonstop. The starlink is absolutely solid. Being able to have two WAN connections and monitor their health to make forwarding decisions is key here as far as load balancing goes. The way it functions and how well it functions, really deserves an applause. When we originally received Starlink, the satellite sat with its kickstand in the side yard for a few days, and we did not have cabling from the basement to the 1st and 2nd floors. The Starlink router had to stay in the basement. Part of the magic of the Peplink B One, is that you can configure wireless SSID's aka, you can configure wireless networks external to your own as WAN ports. Yes, you could use your neighbors WIFI as a WAN port to the internet. So I configured the Starlink SSID to be hidden, configured a very complex random password, and then configured the Peplink to use that Starlink hidden SSID as a WAN port. Boom. Starlink now brought into the fold on the same device as DSL - load balancing both connections. QoS, bandwidth limits, application recognition - it's amazing. I am a Peplink fan at this point. Thank you Peplink, looking now to pick up some WAPs that do wireless mesh :) EDIT 2026-03-01 Since writing this I got rid of that DSL connection about 2 weeks after writing this review, and we got Coax 1Gb service in April 2025, so we are using a Starlink and Coax service simultaneously. I've also begun adding access points after running cat6 in my house and the B One controls them seamlessly. In my basement I've got an aggregation switch with a trunk between basement and my office on the 2nd floor. On that trunk are many VLANs including the Starlink connection which is used for WAN. You can configure a reserved VLAN on the device as a WAN connection and catch it off a trunk, pretty nice. Behind my home connection I've got a lab for work that runs quite a bit, and there are outbound rules to control what connection my lab uses for consistency. Still very much in love with this thing

Dual Internet Providers set up as hot failovers !!! I have yet to lose Internet access for over 6 months use (UPS recommended). Also very complete professional VLAN, monitoring and easy configuration for experienced networking folks.

The Horowitz "Router Security" page turned me on to Peplink products, initially with the Surf SOHO. However, it was limited to ~100-120Mb/s throughput. In the interim, Peplink discontinued the Surf SOHO, but I was looking for something to handle my 300Mb connection--along came the B-One! My config file from the Surf SOHO would not translate to the B-One, so that was one long night of manually looking at both routers' pages and mirroring my prior set up (or changing/setting up newer features). But, it has been running solid through 2 firmware updates over the last 6 months. This is not your ordinary, retail "toy" router you might get from Cisco, D-Link, or Netgear. These guys stay on top of bugs, feature requests, and security issues. The first-time configuration can be rather daunting for the technically-challenged. If you are able to navigate Horowitz's "Router Security" page, and understand his walk-through on setting up the Surf SOHO router, you can most likely learn a lot about networking, and have a feel for a more powerful router (without monkeying around on arcane linux command-lines). You can set up multiple SSIDs, limit each to 2.4/5GHz (or both), and have each one on a separate VLAN with separate IP ranges--or not, your choice. There are incoming, internal, and outgoing firewalls, which can have time-based rules. There are too many features to list here, some features will be necessary for some, nice for others, or left-alone for yet others. If you are already a Peplink fan, then you won't need my review.
