Netgate SG-2100

4GB RAM, 8GB onboard storage. Not upgradeable. System hangs when about 3-4 users start browsing. Requires frequent restart. I was a fan of Netgate - now using pfsense on build own model - where memory and disk space can be determined by the user. Not recommending the basic versions of Netgate. Up level ones are really great.

tutto come da descrizione, devo ancora configurarlo e divertirmi con esso

Das Gerät ersetzt meine FritzBox. Diese dient nur noch als Telefonanlage. Zum Anschluss/Setup des Zyxel ASDL Modem ans WAN waren Videos notwendig. Aller andere (Zugriff auf die Netzwerkkameras, aufs VPN) lies sich einrichten. Die Bedienperformance ist noch OK. Dafür ist der Stromverbrauch auch gering: 14€/Jahr bei 32 Cent/KWh. Bisher ist der Betrieb stabil und unauffällig.

AWESOME router. It is very powerful. If you don't know pfSense, it's a steep learning curve but, once you 'get it' you can do anything with this router. This is not a SOHO router, you can't just plug it in and go. You HAVE to configure it. But, it does EVERYTHING that an enterprise router does. If you're clueless, download the CE version of pfSense, load it onto a junk PC and learn. If you're familiar with networking, this is a GREAT router.

Nice, works well

This is a real firewall. It is not simply an ON/OFF application that filters URL's or ports. I chose the 2100 over the 1100 because I wanted a real switch between my LAN's and not just VLAN's, and online reports stated the 2100 with more RAM had significantly better performance. Installation was smooth, but it is still not ready for a typical homeowner. Please watch a dozen videos and familiarize yourself with this firewall before attempting the install. That said, I simply cloned my existing TP-Link's MAC address and plugged into my ISP's MODEM and was up and running. I then installed the pfBlockerNG package, enabled DNSBL, and setup a few AD blocking feeds. I pointed the DNS Resolver to Cloudflare's public DNS over TLS sites and rebooted. While the Netgate rebooted I changed the DHCP on my TP-Link to point to the new firewall. I would say it took less than an hour from unboxing to up and running. Now my whole house is behind a real firewall. The smart TV's, the cameras, the garage door opener, the Phillips lightbulbs, the tablets, the laptops, the smartphones, the Alexis Tab, are all firewalled. Having a dedicated firewall also offloaded a ton of work from the TP-Link Wireless router. I noticed faster throughput across the wireless network and I suspect it is because the AP is no longer working as a firewall. This is a great product.
