The router’s core strength lies in its ability to combine multiple WAN sourcesādual cellular modems, 1x 10/100/1000M Ethernet WAN port, USB WAN, and Wi-Fi WANāinto a single, reliable internet connection. This is achieved through Peplink’s advanced SpeedFusion technology, which seamlessly bonds these connections to provide Hot Failover and zero-interruption reliability, making it an essential component for vehicles, industrial deployments, and any situation where maintaining constant, high-speed connectivity is crucial. Its fanless, ruggedized metal enclosure ensures operation across a wide temperature range, maximizing durability in harsh environments.
Beyond its physical resilience and dual cellular capabilities, the MAX BR2 offers extensive software and management features via Peplink MAX Firmware and InControl 2 Cloud Management. Networking features include NAT, IP Forwarding, Static Routes, Port Forwarding, and support for VLANs on the LAN. Security is managed through a Stateful Firewall, DoS Prevention, and Web Blocking. For complete VPN solutions, it supports SpeedFusion VPN, Site-to-Site VPN, and IPsec VPN, utilizing 256-bit AES Encryption. Integrated GPS allows for device location tracking and fleet management via InControl 2. The router also features flexible power options to accommodate mobile deployment, supporting a Micro-Fit Connector Power Port, PoE IN, and a Terminal Block Power Connector for 12V-30V DC input. The package includes four LTE Antennas, two Dual Band Wi-Fi Antennas, a GPS Active Antenna, and a 12V 3A 4-Pin Power Supply, providing a comprehensive solution right out of the box. With its dual Category 7 modems, this BR2 model is considered the most entry-level router for home users while maintaining the ruggedness and reliability expected for professional remote and mobile deployments.
The versatility of the Peplink MAX BR2 is further highlighted by its port configuration, including 4x 10/100/1000M Ethernet LAN ports and simultaneous dual-band (2.4GHz / 5GHz) Wi-Fi. This robust feature set, coupled with support for dynamic DNS, bandwidth allowance monitoring, and DHCP services, ensures it can serve as a primary communication hub in complex network architectures. Its design for mobile deployment, with multiple power input options and integration with the InControl 2 cloud platform for remote configuration and management, eliminates the need for physical truck rolls for device provisioning and troubleshooting. The comprehensive list of LTE and 3G bands supported by the MAX-BR2-LTEA-US-T-PRM specifically targets high performance and carrier compatibility across North America, ensuring dependable wireless failover and aggregated bandwidth for critical applications.
