Below it, the B One and Balance 20X cap out around 1 Gbps routing. Above it, the Balance 580X jumps to enterprise pricing. The 310 lands at multi-gig performance, gigabit SpeedFusion and a 10G LAN port for under what you'd pay for a comparable Cisco or Fortinet branch router, and you get SpeedFusion bonding which they can't match in software.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis isn't a 5G router on its own. It has no built-in cellular. The play is to use the PoE+ WAN port to power a 5G Dome (HD1 Dome Pro) or Antenna MAX as your cellular WAN, and the other 2.5G WAN as your fibre or Starlink uplink. SpeedFusion bonds them. That's a clean two-box solution for branch sites needing real resilience.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIf you need built-in cellular, look at the older Balance 310 5G (still shipping, two embedded modems) or step down to the B One 5G. If you need true enterprise capacity (200+ users), step up to the Balance 580X HW2.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNot sure which Balance fits?

Cat-12 (EXM-MINI-1LTEA-Q) is a sensible step down where 5G isn't available or budget matters. Cat-6 (EXM-MINI-1LTEA-B) is entry tier.

Each port can deliver up to 90W. Plan against typical loads: a 5G Dome draws ~25W, a Wi-Fi 7 AP ~30W, a PTZ camera 30-60W.
