The highly anticipated Firmware 8.5.0 is now available, packed with several features developed from your feedback. With enhancements from security to Starlink to Wi-Fi, this update offers new improvements to elevate your Peplink experience.

Enhancements in Security

Network Access Control for Wired LAN Clients
Streamline access to your wired network based on user credentials for enhanced network security. Verify user and device credentials before allowing them to connect to protect your network from unauthorized access.

Advanced Security with Wi-Fi Private Pre-Shared Key (PPSK)
Enforce advanced Wi-Fi access control by assigning unique passwords to each client connecting to a single SSID. This creates a distinct authentication key for each client to prevent security breaches.

Flexible Firewall Policy Management
Configure firewall access rules by using device catalogs instead of IP or MAC addresses as the traffic source. Create predefined device categories based on a common database and tailor different rules according to client types.

Edge Computing

Docker Support on InControl
Manage your Docker environments efficiently with Docker Management Support via InControl. Deploy containers and scripts on InControl with expanded command options, such as ‘–log-driver’ and ‘–log-opt’.

Optimized Outbound Policies

Traffic Optimization for Cellular and Mobility WAN
The added support for “Least Used” algorithm under outbound policies allows you to route traffic based on real-time usage for cellular and mobility WAN connections, helping to reduce congestion within your network.

IP Passthrough with Multiple WAN Options
Use any VLAN for passthrough configurations and route IP traffic through different types of connections such as cellular, Ethernet, and SFP/SFP+.

Supercharged Starlink Integration

Starlink GPS Support Over Synergy WAN
Enjoy a comprehensive all-in-one solution by synergizing multiple Peplink devices, Starlink’s WAN and GPS features. The streamlined connectivity experience will be as if operating from a single device.

“Ignore Obstruction Outages” to Reduce Disconnection
Enable the new “Ignore Obstruction Outages” option to prevent your Starlink WANs from immediate disconnections when obstruction outages are detected, and maintain continuous network operations.
