![Pepwave 5G Dongle Brings USB modem to Peplink Routers and Laptops
Peplink will soon be releasing its new Pepwave 5G Dongle, a compact single-modem device designed to add a full 5G WAN connection via Ethernet-over-USB.
The Pepwave 5G Dongle is built on a Qualcomm X62 modem and supports a wide range of global 5G and LTE bands, including sub-6 GHz 5G. It will be available through Peplink-authorized resellers for $399 USD.
The dongle is very similar in form factor and function to Peplinks former Max Adapter devices, which were also simple modems with USB connectivity.
The new Pepwave 5G Dongle supports dual physical nano-SIM slots and dual eSIMs. It ships with 1 GB of Peplink eSIM data, allowing users to test connectivity immediately out of the box without installing a SIM.

![Starlink Changes Demand Surcharge Policy for Standby Mode and Service Address Moves
Starlink has made two changes to how its one-time demand surcharges work, and both could catch some Residential users off guard.
The biggest impact for our audience of nomads is likely for those who use Residential service seasonally with Standby Mode, or frequently change a Residential service address while traveling.
Standby Mode no longer waives a demand surcharge - instead, it only preserves prior eligibility. In practical terms, that means if a surcharge was never paid for that specific location, one may now apply when service is resumed.
Additionally, Starlink’s demand surcharge FAQ now explicitly states that the fee can apply when moving between service addresses and indicates that moves between high-demand areas may result in a prorated surcharge.

![Starlink Lowers Prices on Some Plans
Starlink has alerted customers via email that it is adjusting pricing on the Global Priority and Local Priority plans to better reflect current market conditions. The pricing adjustments depend on the region and currency in which your Starlink account is based.
The good news for US-based users on a Local Priority plan is that the price is actually going down by $10/month.
For US-based customers in congested areas, the Local Priority plan can provide the highest tier of service for a lower price than Roam Unlimited if you can stay under 500GB/month.

![Peplink MAX Transit Duo Pro - Now with Dual Cat-12 Modems, and Price Increase
Peplink has quietly rolled out an unannounced change to its dual-modem LTE router, the Max Transit Duo Pro. Until now, this router offered a modern Cat-7 modem and an older Cat-12 modem that balances carrier compatibility and performance. The Cat-7 modem supports cellular bands lacking in the Cat-12, such as T-Mobiles critical Band 71.
Now, however, Peplink has changed this model to utilize updated dual Cat-12 modems. The modems are a more modern design that supports all the LTE bands for North America, including newer cellular bands like Band 71 and global bands. However, both modems remain mid-performance LTE modems utilizing only 2x2 MIMO antenna support, which has limited appeal in a 5G world.
This change also comes with a $200 price increase from $999 to $1199.

![2026 Wi-Fi Industry Update: Wi-Fi Technology Guidance For RVs, Vans, and Boats
Two years ago, we published a deep dive into Wi-Fi technology and how it fits into mobile internet setups for our audience of people who live, work, or travel in vans, boats or RVs.
Since then, the Wi-Fi landscape has continued to evolve.
Wi-Fi 7 has moved from an emerging standard to real-world products. 6 GHz support has become more common in some consumer gear. And newer hotspots, routers, phones, tablets, and laptops are starting to advertise support for the latest Wi-Fi features.
But for mobile users, the practical impact of these changes has been more modest than the marketing might suggest.
In this update, we will focus on what has changed, what has not changed, and what RVers, boaters, and other mobile users should actually care about when evaluating Wi-Fi gear in 2026.

![Netgear Received Conditional Approval From The FCC Router Ban - Mobile Hotspots Included
Back on March 23, 2026, the FCC added foreign-produced consumer-grade routers to the Covered List, effectively blocking new router models from receiving FCC authorization. Without FCC authorization, routers cannot legally be imported, marketed, and sold in the US (see our story for the full details).
Because most consumer routers are produced overseas, the policy initially functioned as a near-freeze on new consumer router approvals in the US, requiring them to first obtain conditional approval from either the Pentagon or the Department of Homeland Security.
Netgear is the first retail router company to obtain conditional approval.
