Peplink EPX

Peplink EPX is an extreme-performance SD-WAN platform built for large networks that demand modular growth, strong security, and always-on connectivity. It’s designed to scale with your WAN diversity—wired, fiber, and cellular—without forcing a redesign when bandwidth or interface requirements grow.

Performance is a key reason teams choose Peplink EPX. In Peplink’s official tech specs, EPX is rated for 30Gbps router throughput and SpeedFusion VPN throughput of 4Gbps (no encryption) and 4Gbps (256-bit AES). Peplink also publishes an EPX FAQ that lists 2Gbps with AES-256, so treat encrypted VPN throughput as document/hardware-revision dependent and confirm against the latest spec sheet for your exact build.

Where EPX stands out is scalability. Depending on configuration, it supports 8–56 Gigabit Ethernet WAN ports and 8–56 Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports, plus 4–28 10G SFP+ ports—ideal for dense edge hubs, large site aggregation, or environments standardizing on high-speed fiber. For wireless-first deployments, EPX supports up to 24 cellular modems with the right expansion modules, helping you aggregate multiple LTE/5G links for resilience.

For enterprise-grade connectivity, EPX supports SpeedFusion VPN with up to 4000 peers and IPsec VPN with up to 1000 tunnels, enabling large multi-site overlays and secure backhaul designs. It also supports up to 1024 VLANs, plus core features like load balancing/failover and inbound load balancing for multi-uplink continuity.

If you need compute at the edge, EPX supports internal storage for edge computing (1TB) when the required expansion module is used, and it supports running applications, Docker, and KVM. External storage via USB is also supported (Docker/KVM via USB storage requires firmware 8.4.0+ per the tech specs).
