Q. What is the MAX Adapter and how do I use it?

 

The MAX Adapter is a state-of-the-art cellular modem by Peplink, it is not a standalone router. It can be used in two ways to:

• Add an additional cellular WAN to your existing Peplink device which has a USB WAN port. Check here to see how it works.
• Provide 5G or LTE connectivity to your Windows or Linux devices on-the-go, acting as a cellular modem.

 

Q. Is the MAX Adapter right for me?

 

Are you in need of a solution that can add an additional 5G/LTE WAN to existing Peplink products via a USB WAN port, supports SpeedFusion VPN, offers external antenna support, has dual SIM slots, and is something small but not a full router? Then the MAX Adapter is for you!

 

Q. Do antennas come included?

 

Four LTE antennas are included but the GPS antenna must be purchased separately.

 

Q. Can I pair my MAX Adapter with my Mac?

 

Currently, our MAX Adapter is only compatible with Windows & Linux devices.

 

Q. Does the MAX Adapter have a built-in battery?

 

No, the MAX Adapter is powered via USB-C.

 

Q. My MAX Transit has a USB port but it’s not compatible with the MAX Adapter. Why?  

 

The MAX Transit’s USB port only provides power input, not data. For compatibility, the device must contain a USB WAN port.
