The Peplink Device Connector Rugged is a wireless ac device that was primarily developed to act as a wireless bridge to extend existing networks. The device can pickup existing wifi signals and then either rebroadcast them to multiple independent wifi networks or be configured to be a repeater to the primary network. This device is particularly helpful if wired only devices exist on your network as the Device Connector Rugged can pickup wifi and then hand off that signal to wired devices connected to the Rugged's ethernet ports.
Primary uses cases include:
- Extend existing wifi
- pickup public wifi and rebroadcast locally on a more secure local network
- translate wifi signal to ethernet for non-wifi devices
- create a wireless uplink for remote outbuildings just out of reach of primary wifi
WiFi as WAN
This device supports WiFi-As-WAN, meaning you can pick up public WiFi signals from hotspots, campgrounds, and other sources to rebroadcast them into your coach and use them as your local internet. The wireless antennas included with this modem will pick up these signals and rebroadcast them locally within your own WiFi network.
*Using public WiFi may be unreliable due to external environmental forces typically outside of customer's control and as such public WiFi is recommended to be used as a secondary backup connection.
InControl2
InControl2 is Peplink's cloud-based endpoint management system. When connected to your devices, it aggregates data to generate useful reports on all aspects of your network. On a single screen, you can push configurations to any and all of your endpoints. If you need to dig deeper, you can remotely access the web admin of any device on your network.
For most MobileMustHave customers this features is not required, but it does allow your device to be accessible to you via the cloud. This can be an advantage if you would like to remotely control your device, track your vehicles location (if GPS is enabled), and allow support access to remote in (when permission is granted).
InControl2 is included with all router purchases for 1-Year and is included with EssentialCare and PrimeCare Warranty Renewal Options.
SmartCare
Peplink SmartCare optional extended warranty packages provide customers with Incontrol2 cloud management licensing, software updates, firmware updates, and extended factory warranty support with Advanced Replacement support for devices deemed defective by Peplink's warranty support department. SmartCare is a cost effective and convenient way to extend the warranty coverage of your Peplink device for customers who need Advanced Replacement services, and for customer's who have a Peplink device that is out of warranty and require warranty re-instatement. Warranty and license purchases are non-refundable due to manufacturer policies.
