Yeah, it's also a good idea to get the IoT separated from snooping. I just have to draw a fine line in making things too complicated which I'm very good at doing then I can't connect to the NAS from outside, etc.
 
I googled that very question this morning and it landed me on this page which explains it at a high level. It's been working well for me this morning bonding AT&T and Starlink. I am experiencing solid and reliable Internet including YouTube and other social media content.

Peplink's cloud, like most other clouds come with a price. I think the intent is to stress reliability for mission critical processing. Certainly there are situations where it's needed, but its (Speed Fusion et al) may or may not be necessary. Carrier Grade NAT would be a good example of when it might be necessary.
 
Maybe, in my non cellular engineering opinion it's due to CAT 18 and higher uses 4x4 MIMO, i.e. twice the number of cellular antennas and therefore two bands of cellular connection. This is why I advise anyone getting a cellular router these days I suggest CAT 18 or better if it fits your budget.
The CAT-18 & above will do 4 bands of single carrier aggregation if the tower supports it. I saw this consistently with AT&T on both the CAT-18 & CAT-20. Verizon never got above 3 bands.
Theoretical download speed for CAT-20 is 1GB whereas the CAT-12 is only 400 Mbps. See attached specs for both.

Review @redbaron's post #20
 
For those using or knowledgeable on FusionHub. Do all participating WAN's have to be in Priority 1 or can I have Starlink in Priority 1, AT&T Priority 2, Wi-Fi 5 Ghz Priority 3 and all 3 will be participating in the connection?

Only the active priority will participate
 
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.
@redbaron you probably got the same notification I did that your FusionHub license is set to expire as it approaches the one year. Have you done anything to renew it? It seems that the FusionHub VM won't expire but managing it via IC2 is what expires.

I renewed by repeating the original process
 
Did it force you to create a new VM, and/or more accurately, get a new license?
Yes, I created it as new. This was due to changing my datacenter, but maybe it is a required step

Last time, several years ago, when mine expired, I couldn't figure out a way to renew it, and I wound up creating a new key. This last time, I just paid for a five pack fusion hub license, since I plan to have both my primary and backup home routers as peplinks, as well as my RV. I'm going to create a speedfusion VPN for all of them, so just went ahead and went the paid license route.
 
I never did anything with the InControl expirations, I figured once I had the setup established then my VM hosting SpeedFusion would pair with my Pepwave's and that has held true. I can login to my SpeedFusion VM's to manage them as needed and it's all working great. I don't see a need for InControl other than to remote manage endpoints which at this time everything is settled in and working wonderfully.
