Can it use cellular as primary or only as failover?

Both. The router can prioritise cellular as primary, run cellular as automatic failover for fixed-line outages, or load-balance traffic across cellular and wired WAN simultaneously using SpeedFusion.

Does it support SpeedFusion bonding?

Yes. SpeedFusion lets you bond multiple WAN links (cellular plus fibre, plus Starlink) into a single virtual connection with hot-failover and packet-level redundancy. Requires a FusionHub endpoint or peer Peplink router.

Will Wi-Fi cover a typical office?

Most branch routers ship with Wi-Fi 6 (or Wi-Fi 5 on older models) suitable for a small office or shop floor. For larger deployments, pair with one or more Peplink AP One access points managed from the router.

Does PrimeCare come included?

Yes. Every router includes 1-year PrimeCare as standard, covering InControl 2 cloud management, SpeedFusion features, and warranty. Renewals available in 1, 2 and 4-year terms.

Web UI for local config, plus InControl 2 cloud for remote management, monitoring, configuration sync across multiple sites, firmware roll-outs, and SpeedFusion topology setup.

Can I prioritise voice or video traffic?

Yes. The router includes outbound and inbound QoS, custom traffic rules, and per-application bandwidth control. You can prioritise SIP, RTP, video conferencing, or any custom application by port/protocol/host.

What is the warranty period?

Peplink hardware ships with 1-year manufacturer warranty as standard. PrimeCare extensions extend the warranty term. Our engineering team handles UK RMA.

Entry-level dual-WAN branch router with embedded LTE for small offices and home-based business

The Peplink Balance 20X is the entry-tier branch router in the Balance family. Dual Ethernet WAN plus an embedded LTE-A Cat-4 cellular modem for failover, in a fanless desktop chassis sized for small offices, branch satellites, home-based professionals, and shop floor pop-up sites. SpeedFusion bonding across the WANs, hot failover, InControl 2 cloud management, all in a router priced for the small-business market. SKU BPL-021X-LTE-E-T-PRM.

Why this exists

The Balance 310 (£879) is overkill for a 5-person office or a single shop. The 20X delivers the core Balance value proposition (dual WAN with cellular failover, SpeedFusion bonding, InControl 2 management) at a price point that makes sense at the entry of the SME market.

What you get

2x Gigabit Ethernet WAN ports for primary and secondary wired ISP
Embedded LTE-A Cat-4 modem for cellular WAN backup (200 Mbps DL theoretical)
4x Gigabit Ethernet LAN
SpeedFusion bonding across all WANs with hot failover (PrimeCare-gated)
InControl 2 cloud management with web admin, mobile app, and Cloud Provisioning
Fanless desktop form factor, vent-less for shop and office
1-Year PrimeCare bundled; renewable via PRM-A or PRM-B tier (talk to us for tier confirmation)

Where it fits

Small office and branch satellite (5-25 users). Home-based professional services where business continuity matters but enterprise-class hardware doesn't. Multi-shop retail rollouts where the per-site investment needs to stay modest. Pop-up sites and short-term deployments. Bridge to cellular when the wired ISP is being installed or replaced.
