Question Are you using Pepwave SpeedFusion?

[redbaron]

Another view-- the InControl is where you create and manage the FusionHub

 

[Neal]

Have you verified your traffic is in fact going through FusionHub?

I figured as I have both of my Pepwave's registered in inControl it wouldn't allow me to get another FusionHub license. Just an assumption. How did you license each individual FusionHub? Can I register as many as I want in inControl? I figured one user == one license.

Yes, I have verified flow, and more important, verified nothing leaks.

The main reason I want this in my RV is for streaming videos. I move it to Canada when I want to watch shows not available in the USA, and vice Versa. It works very simply. I log out of netflix. Move my peplink profile, log back in, and I get a different catalog of shows.

AFA License, Fusion Hub is free. You can register as many as you want. I have 3 right now, but there is no limit.

The concurrent usage is limited to 1 user per fusionhub for free.

Thanks. Will dig deeper when I hit the road. Thinking of putting each Pepwave on its own FusionHub.

To answer the question as to how, do the following:

Incontrol2 -> Far right choose your organization ->Organization Settings ->Warranty & License.

Under Fusion Hub Licenses, click the button "Acquire FusionHub LIcense"
Choose Solo.

Repeat.

Have you tried the "Send all traffic to" option to see what it does?

That option is only applicable when using their speedfusion. Does not work with FusionHub.

It's going to be interesting to test and Peplink has great tools per the video I posted to be able to disable select WAN connections to see how speeds are on each WAN. Do I sacrifice a 90-150 down single WAN for a 30 down bonded WAN via Speedfusion? My speed tests via InControl are showing about 20-30 down which are quite slow from what I've seen. I won't know more until I'm in the coach and testing over time. There may be a hit by the InControl remote connection too. By the way, InControl is seriously cool and very well done. I haven't really used it in the past but I will likely renew going forward and maintain it.

Since my RV is typically remote (don't use as much as I would like) and I also use an older BR1 as backup home internet, I use Incontrol all the time for quick looks at signal strength or to initiate a remote web admin session, without having to worry about port forwarding, what my current dynamic IP is or the like. Also, I have auto firmware updates setup through In control, and also nightly reboots. They've done a good job with it.

Are you guys installing fusion hub on an AWS ec2 instance or something else? I set one up years ago, shortly after getting my Max BR1, but after getting it configured at working, never really followed through with using it.

Own server

 

[redbaron]

I am installing on my own servers as well.

You can use AWS or other cloud servers. I prefer cloud servers with unlimited bandwidth and low latency.

Vultr, OVH, So You Start are some of the budget friendly options.

After reading this thread I took a look at the Pepwave MAX BR1 Pro 5G Router for use with a T-Mobile 5G SIM and Verizon 4G SIM but before I can order one from the 5GStore I have to click that I know that and I quote "I understand that T-mobile doesn't support consumer 5G plans for this device". Does anyone have any experience with T-Mobile 5G and the Pepwave 5G Router?

​

 

[Neal]

Call or live chat with 5GStore.com - they're great. My guess is it may not support Band 71 or something like that (haven't looked, getting ready to run out).

​

I have been using TMobile on the Peplink 5G for 3 months now.

I get on average 340Mb/s download, and 85Mb/s upload. It is my primary carrier when it is operational.

I have seen regular band 71 usage on this device in markets that support it.

 

[Neal]

I forgot @MapNerd had great success with T-Mobile in his BR1 Pro 5G in Florida. Also seeing 300+

I have not had good luck with 5G tech support. I called and asked if the BR1 5G would work with the FMCA Sprint 5G Sim and he said he has no experience but purchased it and if doesn't work return it. I ask about the 20% restock and he said that I would have to pay that even if it didn't work.

@Gizmo have you read up on Magic?

 

[Tnedator]

Ok, own servers. Are you putting fusion hub behind your home (sticks and bricks) firewalls?

Yes. I have multiple providers at the stick as well, and this is a good solution to aggregate. I also can force my ip to be the same.

Another reason this is good...Hulu premium wasn't worth it before as the locals went out when I travel. Now I can keep Hulu plus and us fusionhub to keep my ip the same regardless where I am. I also use OpenVPN on my laptop for same purpose.

Private vpn is a game changer, and costs are less than public Vpns that get blocked.

Curious, as this was on my list, trying to get VPN to home either to my sonicwall (not ideal) or was thinking an extra max BR1 I have.

Not the only thing that might be a problem is I don't have a static IP at home. I have dyndns setup, but not static (though my lease will often last for months).

Does fusion hub require a static IP for VPN tunnel from peplink router.
