We are pleased to announce that Firmware 8.5.2 Beta 1 is now available.
Lots of good fixes in there. Any word on if Wireguard will make it into beta 2? We were told it would be in an 8.4.2 build back when 8.5.0 beta 1 was released, 8 months later and no 8.4 build has materialized and we’ve had a point release of 8.5 with a second in the works.

[Beta 1] [Starlink] Added support for Starlink on USB
WAN connections
All Models
(Except FusionHub)
Does that mean we dont need the Starlink WiFi hub anymore, we can add the starlink directly to the USB port ?
B20X system rebooted for unknown reasons < 24 hours. Will continue to monitor.
It means you can activate the starlink integration on a USB Ethernet, which you couldn’t before
Both of my B20X systems spontaneously rebooted last night. I have rolled back one of them.
The Starlink dish still needs to be powered. Only the Starlink Mini can be powered over USB-C PD with 100W and a special cable. None of the Peplink routers can provide 100W over USB as they are probably all just 5V ports.
As @bryn.loftus already mentioned it is for an USB Ethernet dongle.
Wireguard’s been a bit delayed, but there’s still a chance for it to appear in beta 2, considering how 8.5 is shaping up.
