If you're looking to buy this, consider Qotom or PCEngines if you want small and low power.

There is a 20% restock fee if you want to return it. I had been a PFsense Gold susbscriber until Netgate ended that and was looking to continue supporting them. I've used desktop PCs and rackmount servers, Soekris, PC Engines and other Netgate products (SG1000, 31). I'd been using PFsense since around 2004 before version 1.0. Even then, after a day of trying to upgrade a Netgate SG-1000, I wasn't able to get anywhere since the VLAN port doesn't show up as an option and the auto detection of the WAN port doesn't work. On reboot, you will need to console connect and re-set things up so that you have VLANs with your WAN and LAN ports on separate ones. Choosing Routing or Bridging The choice between bridging (using the same IP subnet as the existing LAN) or routing (using a dedicated IP subnet for wireless) for wireless clients will depend on what services wireless clients require. All three ports are part of a network switch instead of individual NICs.ĭownloading a config from an old box (An SG-1000 in my case) and uploading to the SG1100 along with remapping the interfaces will not work. At some point pfSense software may support this, but it is not currently on the roadmap. This device is probably fine if you're setting it up from scratch.īut if you're upgrading from another PFsense box, headaches are ahead for you.
