The Peplink Balance 580 is an enterprise Multi-WAN router that is particularly suited for environments where fast, reliable and stable mobile Internet is required. This router is designed for 300 to 1000 users.
Load Balancing
Increase network data rates, reliability and flexibility and reduce connectivity costs with Peplink Internet Load Balancing technology. The Peplink Balance 580 can distribute traffic from various Internet connections and router data using seven intelligent algorithms:
- Lowest Latency; Get fast response time when loading applications
- Enforced; Limit outbound traffic to a specific connection
- Persistence; No barriers to data traffic
- Least Used; Choose the best connection + bandwidth
- Weighted Balance; Distribute traffic over several connections
- Priority; Router traffic to a preferred connection
- Overflow; Redirect traffic when the connection has insufficient bandwidth
High Availability
If a company needs a connection that absolutely must not drop, two routers can be put in High Availability mode. In this mode, 1 router is on standby, taking over from the other router when needed.
Drop-in Mode
Thanks to Drop-in Mode, the existing network does not need to be modified to integrate the Peplink Balance 580. This allows the Peplink Balance to be easily placed in an existing network, for example behind a firewall.
LAN Bypass
The built-in LAN Bypass keeps crucial network traffic running when the Peplink 580 suddenly shuts down (for example, due to power failure). Traffic is then routed around the device from WAN5 to LAN1. These two network ports form a ‘bridge’ so that data traffic can still flow through.
WAN Failover
This router features WAN Failover. This means that it switches from one connection to another if the primary connection fails. In this way the router provides an extremely reliable and flexible connection.
VPN support
The Peplink Balance 580 supports VPN connections. The Load Balancing ensures that there is a secure and stable VPN tunnel. Because the bandwidth is distributed among the available Internet connections, the VPN connection is maintained even if one of the connections is lost. With a VPN throughput rate of 150 Mbps, there is an excellent connection speed.
AP Controller
The AP Controller makes it easy to manage the Peplink’s wireless network. With this low-threshold interface, reports and detailed event logs can be viewed. It can also be used to set up a WiFi hotspot for the customer. This can be done with the Captive Portal function of the controller. This allows you to easily determine things like connection speed and data usage limits.
SpeedFusion
The Peplink Balance 580 supports SpeedFusion, a unique technology that makes it possible to combine internet connections from different providers. This ensures a higher bandwidth. When one connection is lost, the Balance 580 automatically switches to another connection.
