Overview
Overview
The Peplink Balance 580X (HW2) is an enterprise SD-WAN router built for large branch offices, campuses, and multi-site organizations that need robust multi-WAN routing and high stateful firewall throughput. With 5x GE WAN ports and 3x GE LAN ports, it provides ample connectivity for demanding environments, and its expansion module slot allows additional WAN, cellular, or SIM capacity to be added as deployments grow.
This model is quote-only — pricing depends on configuration, licensing, and deployment scale, so get in touch with a specialist for a tailored quote.
Key highlights
- 5x GE WAN ports + 3x GE LAN ports
- 4 Gbps stateful firewall throughput
- SpeedFusion Bandwidth Bonding available
- 1x expansion module slot for additional connectivity (e.g. SIM Injector, cellular modem)
- InControl 2 centralised cloud management
Recommended for
- Large branch offices & campuses — high port count for demanding distributed networks
- Multi-site enterprises — centralised management across multiple Balance 580X deployments
- Expandable deployments — expansion module slot supports future cellular or SIM capacity growth
- Mission-critical sites — SpeedFusion Bandwidth Bonding for resilient multi-WAN connectivity
Performance
Throughput
The Balance 580X (HW2) is rated for 4 Gbps stateful firewall throughput, per the source data. Note: publicly available specs for the HW2 hardware revision elsewhere describe up to 8 Gbps router throughput and 1 Gbps SpeedFusion VPN throughput — worth reconciling with your official datasheet or Peplink rep before publishing, since these figures don’t match the source data used here.
