I can only "see" about half of the computer VPN?

[Michael234]

Were you running the IP scanner at the location with the missing PCs or at the other location? If the same location, then clearly not a Peplink issue. Windows networking hard enough on a single subnet. I gave up long ago and use nothing but IP addresses. Never names. Life is too short to fight with Windows all the time.

As for the slow router, this does not come as a surprise. The Balance 20 is “challenged” on firmware version 8. Search this Forum for more on that. For example

B20 HW5 high CPU after moving to 8.0.2

Hi community, Moving from Firmware 6.3.3 to 8.0.2 make the balance unstable. It works really well with 6.3.3 but we need the ability to associate Remote User Access L2TP to a specific VLAN. We manage to configure it all right but it begins to freeze by itself after less than one hour even without WAN balance. In this case the only solution we have is to reboot it by unplug. Few questions : is this normal? We have 15 users, 2 WAN, we use DHCP, DNS, we don’t use PepVPN, sometime L2TP (but it …

Balance 20 - 8.1.0 - unstable

I have been running a balance 20 for years with zero issues. Since upgrading to 8.1.0 I am having significant problems. The CPU is often pegged - and when that happens I cannot get a response from the web interface. If a link goes down, the entire system freezes and I often need to power cycle it to get back into the web interface or even ping it. A check of the log shows the system restarting on its own a number of times and not bringing links back up. Is this “just me”? I really like this r…

Perhaps fall back to firmware 7? Is there a feature in version 8 that you really care about?

Any VPN has to be a non-trivial cpu load on the router and the Balance 20 may not be up to the task. You didn’t say which hardware version of the B20 you have.
