Hello, new to this kinda stuff. Is the throughput on the Balance 20 limited to 150mbs? If I have a cable modem @ 200mbs and a T-Mobile 5G gateway @ around 400, will the balance 20 limit these? Can I map a mac address or IP on my LAN to one of the 2 ISP’s connected to the Balance 20? Thanks!! Tim
Hi @Tim_Steffens. Yes, it certainly sounds like the Balance 20 is the “choke-point” there. The B20 was a great router when it first came out and is very “solid.” Unfortunately, the increased speeds of WANs these days have sorta left the “20” behind. Here’s a tool Peplink has thoughtfully provided which may be of use in comparing their various products.
And, yes all of the Balance routers provide the capability to send traffic from a given device, defined by MAC address, to a given WAN (and a whole lot more.) In this “Outbound Policy” is your friend is an extremely powerful feature. Your firmware manual has details – let us know if you need a link to it.
