Firmware 8.0.2 lowers throughput on Balance 20X

Product Discussion Peplink Balance

Hi Michael,

Yes, my laptop is connected to LAN1 on the router, or to the modem, via ethernet cable when I test for speed. I’ll load 8.0.1 and give that a go as you suggest.

I’ve also been really happy with Peplink for five years now, starting with a Surf SOHO HWv2, then a Surf Mk3, and now upgrading to the Balance One, so I’m confident they’ll find a fix for this – glad to hear they helped you so well!

Thanks for answering, and best wishes during these “interesting times”. Stay healthy and happy! :mask:

Did Peplink update either firmware 8.0.1 or 8.0.2 to address the issue yet?

Last I heard was that 8.1 would include a fix. No word on the timeframe.

I’m still running 8.0.1 due to this issue and have seen no problems with 8.0.1.

Yes, confirmed the fix included in firmware 8.1.0 (Beta firmware for now).

Feel free to join as beta tester to help us improve the firmware :

Glad to report that I’m seeing similar WAN to LAN throughput speeds after upgrading from 8.0.1 to 8.1.0b02.

Some variability is expected with my testing method, but WAN to LAN download speeds are sometimes as high as 925 Mbps.

Thanks,
Michael
