Get an old Dell with built-in Ethernet and plug another Ethernet adapter into a USB port. Then install pfsense and now you have a router with a built-in terminal and a built-in battery backup. Go ahead and use the shittiest laptop you can find in the dumpster behind an old office building (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5811067&forum_id=2betting#49514845) |

I have a netgate running pfsense. |

Date: December 16th, 2025 5:27 PM Author: Orchid stirring main people Only internet traffic goes through the router, so no need for fast ethernet there. LAN traffic goes through a WAP/switch, so that can be 2.5Gbe or 10Gbe (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5811067&forum_id=2betting#49514881) |

Of course, my security camera traffic is isolated from other traffic at the link layer and never touches the internet unless through a VPN connection.

I think gigabit Internet is still the fastest they offer. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5811067&forum_id=2betting#49514947) |
