I have just purchased a Peplink B One 5g .
I am trying to configure it to work as a Wan smoother in conjunction with my Italia 5g sim card from my ISP carrier.
I followed the following you tube video to a tee, but with no success.
The download speeds were between 2 and 20 mps from my starlink wan.
My hardware configuration is as follows:
Starling v3 router and dish in by pass mode.
Ethernet cable from my starlink to the B One 5g with 5g sim card…
Ethernet cable from the B One 5 to a switched hub.
4 access points wired via ethernet cable leaving the switched hub.
Am I able to do wan smoothing with my local carrier 5g sim card?
Why are my speeds so slow?
Regards,
Simon
Update!
When I take my 5g sim card out of the peplink my starlink speeds go back to normal.
The sim card is throtteling the speed.
Any suggestions?
Is it better to use the peplink data plans for 5g with a virtual sim or can you use any 5g sim card?

Are you certain that, when cellular is available, the modem is actually using Starlink and not the cell service?
I haven’t integrated Starlink into a Peplink cell modem yet. Going to be doing that tomorrow, with a MAX BR1 Mini 5G, but the cell connection and WAN (which is what Starlink will be plugged into) have priorities. If you want Starlink prioritized when it’s available, you have to set it to Priority 1 (Highest).
At least that’s what I would assume.
I have tried deactivating the cellular altogether and run the peplink just on starlink and my speeds are still slow.
