Probably no way to tell unless the seller gives a boot log. Even then it's unclear to me. You might consider this: https://store.netgate.com/MBT-2220-system.aspx Completely different form factor and only 2 interfaces but I don't know what your requirements are. The MBT would have not problem at 200/50. Steve

Consile not accessible, even from direct connect USB. Sending it in for service. Thanks for reply.

As far as i'm aware there is nothing out of the box for that. You'll have to build your own package.

Thank You for your responce. I have decided to go with what the PFsense box that I have and upgrade later. Again Thank You.

No tuning is going to get you from 60Mbps to 1Gbps. There is something fundamentally wrong there like a bad cable or a bad port. CPU stuck at 100MHz or something…. Check the Status > Interfaces page for errors. Steve

What CPU is in that? The specs I'm seeing look like a 3GHz i5 in which case both those numbers look way too low. Steve

This seems completely unrelated to the first post. How is this relevant?  ??? Steve

You can disable the http-referer check from the command line by running: pfSsh.php playback disablereferercheck Though that shouldn't be required and the check is there for a good reason. Steve

Well it could be a number of things. Probably something I'm not even aware of.  ;) In all honesty it will probably be quicker and easier to get a modem that is known to work already or just use an external 3g/4g device that connects via Ethernet. Steve

Hmm, I would expect that device to be recognised by the ath driver: https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-src/blob/a595f803281ea3b25079c9d04a3f5b9a3f0b8a52/sys/dev/ath/ath_hal/ah_devid.h#L84 Check the boot log for errors when it tries to attach. Steve

Can you generate traffic via the Asus without using wifi? Via the switch ports there of from the device itself? Wifi in inherently prone to errors just due to random interference, reflections etc. If you have a wifi interface in pfSense directly for example you will always see some errors on it. However I would expect to see most of those layer 1 type errors on the Asus and not passed to pfSense. Anything at layer 2 may be though, if you have the AP connected at L2. Broadcom Ethernet was never anywhere near as bad as wifi. In fact they were second to Intel for a while IMO. If you can use an Intel NIC though you should. Can you try putting a switch in between pfSense and the Asus device? That would rule out some obscure incompatibility. Steve

If u think a dedicated pfs box is expensive compare the alternative, what does it cost you to buy one of those rules based, state full Internet Appliances. Ya, an old PC/VM should hold u over, until u can afford to do it the proper way.

@acascianelli: Another reason to avoid the APU3's is that the they all use the i211 Intel NIC's and the APU2C4 uses the i210 which has some advantages over the i211.  Can't remember the exact difference, sorry. i210 supports wake on lan and baseboard management. I think one NIC on the APU2 may support WoL, baseboard management isn't implemented. So yes, if you need WoL, the APU2 may be a better choice (if it's working), otherwise they're the same.

I ended up using a Huawei E3372h in hilink mode - it only cost me 10$ so it was worth a shot. I only need the bandwidth so the double nat issue is of no concern to me at the moment. To mitigate this slightly I decided to flash a modded WebUI that allows me to enable DMZ for my pfsense router. I used the partial solution here: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=99705.0 This provides me with around 40Mbit without an external antenna - the reception seems to be a bit lower than my E398.

Googling….  ;) Appears to be Extended BIOS Data Area. So allowing that to be relocated presumably gives more flexibility but perhaps breaks anything hard-coded with the original localtion. Enhanced Disk Device seems to be for using the card with FCoE to provide a boot device to the main BIOS. https://service.chelsio.com/beta/drivers/Chelsio-Uboot-2.0.0.8/Chelsio-UnifiedBoot-UserGuide.pdf No real reason to change either of those I would think.
