1-Year PrimeCare A extension for entry-tier Peplink routers
PrimeCare A renews the bundled service subscription on entry-tier Peplink routers for 12 months from activation. Without an active PrimeCare subscription, the router still routes traffic but loses InControl 2 cloud management, the SpeedFusion peer entitlement, FusionHub licences, and the ability to use bandwidth bonding, hot failover, and WAN smoothing. PrimeCare A is the right tier for the B One.
What this tier covers
PrimeCare A applies to:
- B One (B-ONE-T-PRM, £279)
Other Peplink routers use different tiers. The router's product page lists the correct tier letter under "Recommended add-ons". Buying the wrong tier won't activate; the InControl 2 entitlement engine validates against the device.
What renewing PrimeCare unlocks
- InControl 2 cloud management: single-pane oversight, configuration push, firmware control, alerting, traffic statistics
- 5 SpeedFusion VPN peers: bond multiple WAN paths, build a multi-site VPN mesh
- SpeedFusion features: hot failover, WAN smoothing, bandwidth bonding (these stop working without an active PrimeCare or perpetual feature pack licence)
- FusionHub licence entitlement: connect to Peplink's hosted SpeedFusion gateway
- Warranty extension: extends the standard 1-year warranty by another year
- Firmware support: continued access to firmware updates and security patches
How activation works
- You buy this PrimeCare A 1-Year extension. We email the activation key after order processing.
- Log in to InControl 2 (or open the Peplink mobile app) and apply the activation key against the target device's serial number.
- The 12-month period starts from the activation date you choose. You can stack extensions; activating a 1-year extension while 6 months of cover remains gives you 18 months of total cover.
Multi-year savings
For longer cover, the 2-year (PRM-A-2Y, £98) and 4-year (PRM-A-4Y, £196) extensions price at flat multiples of the 1-year cost. No discount for buying multi-year, but you lock in the current price and avoid annual renewal admin. Most enterprise customers buy 4-year to align with hardware refresh cycles.
PrimeCare vs PrimeCare+
PrimeCare+ A (PCP-A range) adds advanced 24/7 technical support and faster RMA. For most SME and branch B One deployments, regular PrimeCare A is plenty. PrimeCare+ A is the call when downtime cost justifies the support tier upgrade.
