Pros & Cons

Pros

✓ Ships pre-loaded with pfSense+ so it routes traffic minutes after unboxing
✓ 2.20 Gbps iPerf3 routing and 964+ Mbps firewall throughput from a 1.2 GHz Cortex-A53
✓ IPsec, OpenVPN and WireGuard all supported natively, no add-on licensing
✓ Free pfSense+ updates, docs, forums and 24/7/365 TAC support for the appliance lifetime
✓ Passive cooling means zero fan noise and low draw for an always-on edge device

Cons

✗ Hardware warranty runs only one year despite lifetime software support
✗ ARM Cortex-A53 limits throughput versus x86 pfSense boxes at similar prices
✗ pfSense configuration assumes networking knowledge, not a plug-and-play home router
✗ Adult signature required on delivery, so someone must be home to receive it

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored Netgate 2100 Base pfSense+ Security Gateway using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the networking category. Netgate's networking lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for networking of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase. Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.
