To enable a more flexible and scalable network, we have created a software license to define 5 WANs on the Balance One (BPL-ONE and BPL-ONE-CORE).
After the add-on is activated, LAN 1-3 will become WAN 3-5:
Please note that throughput of the device will be reduced from 600Mbps to 400Mbps after the add-on is activated.
Hello @Alan,
It is worth mentioning that this process can not be undone, though you can scale back the number or WAN ports, the application of the key permanently effects the Port setting options for the LAN network with using for VLANs

Thank You Aldwinaldwin…
Please help me with one last piece of information, I am buying this device from a company that ended the activities … Then the device is already used. Will I have a problem with this to activate this service?
It would be advised to do a factory reset. Also open a ticket for Peplink Support, with a photo of the label and a recent diagnostic file, so the device can be removed from any InControl2 organization. Most probably the device will be out of warranty if it’s already used in another company, so if you want to use the InControl2, you might need a InControl2 subscription.
Does this also mean the throughput reduction from ~600 Mbps to 400 Mbps is permanent? Even if only WAN1 & 2 are connected and WAN 3-5 (LAN 1-3 as WAN) are unplugged and disabled?
