I wanted to revive this thread.
Has Peplink added WAN static routes?
Also, is it possible to bond two Starlinks together? The Starlinks both have a default 192.168.0.1 that can’t be altered for their routers, as I understand it.
yes: Starlink / App (Dish Management) Access / Peplink
Yes of course, although using the starlink app will be challenging in that configuration.
And welcome to the forum!
Thank you!!!
Figured it would be challenging to access via the app . Currently using OpenMPTCP but thinking of switching back to Peplink (have used in the past).
Anyone have any recommendations for Peplink gear that would allow bonding of two Starlinks and two LTE connections all together (ATT and Verizon)? No need for the LTE modules, just need to plug into WAN ports with Ethernet.
I’m looking to do the same at my house , I think I may upgrade to a balance580 or do three devices with the balance two and a usb modem or ethernet dongle.

Are you able to share your speedfusion settings for the starlink? Did you do Wan Smoothing, FEC and Bonding? and Can you share priority in each case?
Finally can you share your outbound policy priority list?
I’m in Starlink beta and keeping my steady but slow DSL as backup.
Thank you in advance
Actually mine is currently out of service as I’m moving it to a different roof. I’ll do a write up when I sort it out.
In the meantime - check this thread.
Is everyone generally getting ~75% of the starlink speed with a pepvpn or speedfusion connection?
Got my starlink setup at last. No ethernet adapter yet so using a max transit wifi as wan.
Getting 80-100 mbps connected to the starlink or connected to the max transit for a non-pepvpn speedtest.
But for some reason I’m maxing out at about 12 mbps with speedfusion with balance 210 (speedfusion)->ethernet → max transit wifiwan 5ghz->starlink when the same balance is doing 20+ mbps speedfusion with verizion as wan.
(Prior to October 15 2021 the same balance and fusionhub was doing 80mbps speedfusion speed at a different location with no settings changes, other than disconnecting dsl wan and connecting here to cellular wan and now starlink wan)
Need to troubleshoot to figure out why it’s not performing on starlink, but thought I’d ask if anyone else is having any issues with pepvpn or speefusion traffic over starlink right now.
Upgraded firmware of fusionhub and balance from 4.1.3 to 4.2.0.
Changed from FEC off to FEC=LOW
Only 1 WAN connected (Balance 210-ethernet-max transit cat 18-wifi as wan 5ghz-starlink.)
Now getting
61 mbps download speed on speedtest.net to cloudflare over speedfusion
vs.
108 mbps download speed on speedtest.net to cloudflare without speedfusion
(I was previously getting between 80 and 89 on a 100mbps dsl wan when I had the balance at a different location, so the 61 over starlink isn’t great yet, but it’s a lot better than 12!)
Lots of variability - for some reason the speed test site seemed to play a much larger role than usual (all in the same city as my cloud instance) so maybe something with my cloud provider tonight. Or maybe variability of the connections.
I ended up with the best speeds by setting:
Method: bonding
FEC: off
WAN 1: upload only (verizon)
WAN 2: download only (starlink)
Ended up with 66.40 mbps download speed and 44.01 mbps upload speed as my best result testing to frontier.
For some reason doing the same test to cloudflare in the same city ended up repeatedly at around 10 mbps upload but 50-60 download; choosing servercentral or hivelocity ended up with around 30 download repeatedly. So maybe something going on the internet on the cloud side tonight.
Will give it more testing tomorrow.
WAN Quality analysis is showing 110-150 mbps on the wan side if I read it correctly, but 66 is not half bad!
