Question Are you using Pepwave SpeedFusion?

[Neal]

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.

FusionHub

FusionHub is the virtual appliance that extends your SpeedFusion to the cloud. Discover, how you can leverage cloud servers or offer SpeedFusion as an MSP.

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.

Fusionhub Solo License Expired

Just like it says, my fusionhub solo license expired after 1 year. The web admin for the fusionhub solo in AWS will not allow me update the license. How do I fix this or apply a new license?

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
