Since following the direction of Support Team member Yaw Theng and following the information below, it is has run like a champ. I’ve tried to crash this thing by throwing everything I could at it and it has just purred along. Yaw is still going to follow up with me but I want to express my gratitude to Yaw and the Peplink community. You saved me money and made me a Peplink customer for life.
Here is the steps emailed to me that helped me clear it up.
