I was fortune enough to be upgraded to gigabit fiber at my home. All inspection filters were active during these tests. So far, SpeedTest throughput has been in the 700Mb / sec range on Spectrum (Supposed to be 1GB but rate varies in my neighborhood. I think this will work nicely with all 4 ports active. I got the 4-port unit in anticipation of adding another sub-network for DEV and Test networks, but supply routing in-between. Install from USB stick was very easy, and within the hour I was configured and online. It would be challenging for the less technically savvy to configure, though to be fair the defaults are pretty close for most folks who need just one internal interface. This little NetGate firewall works well – pfSense isn’t the easiest thing to configure, but it’s not too bad, especially if you have a clue how networks work. This is all working great, and I’m very happy with the setup! I also had to buy a MOCA to Ethernet bridge for my three set-top boxes. I went back to PFsense, emulated the actiontec MAC on the WAN port and connected up the Ethernet cable from my ONT (it was already set for ethernet, never used MOCA). I went into the actiontec, copied out the WAN MAC, released the WAN IP and shut it down for the last time. I tweaked PFsense to near perfect before placing it on the LAN. This router has quality design written all over it it doesn’t feel flimsy in any way, and even the packaging is impressively high quality. I really like the case design and it looks very professional-grade, finned aluminum with vents and black paint finish. This micro-appliance is very nicely built and packaged.
