The device I received was the E3372h model and that is the “wrong” mode model. That’s because the USB stick can come in two different “modes” determined by the firmware they’re running. I went to my local Optus store and purchased a Huawei E3372 LTE USB sitck and had no luck. The question is, which 4G/5G USB stick will work. If you’re using a USB device for the 4G/5G, then it’s the pfSense drivers that matter. The model of the Netgate firewall appliance isn’t important. Amazon also appears to have plans to sell switches with AWS support.This article discusses my recent experiences with 4G/5G fail-over for a small business running a Netgate 3100 pfSense firewall appliance. If not the big corps, perhaps smaller ones. I'm positive we'll have loads of fun with RISV-V routers in the near future. But I don't want to put a lot of effort/time in maintaining my home router. If I'd want the highest performance + bang of buck + got the time to maintain (including the hardware) I'd go for PC Engines plus OPNsense or Router-7. > you'll quickly see where the extra money would've been nice. The argument is that its "ancient" hardware yet here we are discussing single-threaded PPPoE.ĮdgeRouter X is a bit weak, sure (though it also does not use a lot of power), EdgeRouter Lite (which I got) is already much better performance, sports a MIPS64 and more RAM. pfSense doesn't run on x86-32 anymore (even though x86-32 works perfectly fine as router).
These are x86-64 (AMD64) machines, running a 64-bit fork of FreeBSD. > These are full x86 machines that can handle a much different workload than an EdgeRouter X. But if you're going the DIY route anyway, PC Engines gives the best bang for the buck unless you need 4G modem support. Although it isn't DIY like the other solutions, that could be an advantage. The entry level products are cheap (ER-L, for example, has 3 ports and costs ~100 EUR), and the Unifi products are user-friendly, while the EdgeMAX allow more freedom/control at the price of user-friendliness.
If you want a cheap PC Engines alternative running Linux I can recommend Ubiquiti gear instead. Their official hardware is also expensive though, just like Netgate. If we're casually mentioning alternatives to PC Engines (who provide, AFAIK, the cheapest solution and are using Coreboot): You're better off using a switch plus an appliance. An 8 port model at home is overkill, and expensive. It isn't even remotely in the same league. Netgate is far, far more expensive than PC Engines (do you see anything near $100 or 100 EUR here? No, you don't).
