Hi,

I just bought Peplink Balance 20X and noticed a mention HW1-2 on beta firmware download page:

I was wondering, what are the differences between Balance 20X HW1 and HW2? Mine is HW1.

Thanks

just purchased a 20X and it still HW1, so maybe it still in testing ?

@m4s4, we have added the ability to support FlexModule Mini-VDSL (EXM-MINI-1VDSL) on Balance 20X HW2.

Hi @WeiMing what does HW3 add? Is HW3 superior to HW1 in what ways? Thank you.

@mystery, the Balance 20X HW3 is the same hardware platform as the previous hardware revision, with added support for SpeedFusion Connect LTE and the upcoming FlexModule Mini (eg. SFP interface module).

I see a reference to it in the 8.3.0 release notes, and one of the US online stores lists it, but I haven’t seen any info yet?
