@stephenw10 I'd rather not muck with the fire-wall as my house has multiple users who need internet most of the time :-)
FWIW, I don't remember changing anything else to get the package manager working again.

Reinstalling is likely to be quickest and safest there. Otherwise you could probably manually edit the config to remove the duplicate sshkey entries.

creating the TAC support request did immidiatly result in getting the image needed - reinstalling was the quickest way - thank you Rico & Steve
@gich The port not working at full speed it's not a problem. It's suck but I'll live with it.
I was only wondering if there was a deeper connection between those problems.
@elvisripley
Thanks for all the info.
Have my pre-drywall walkthrough shortly, so I am about 2-3 months out still. But I also know I need to buy equipment in advance so I can get it all done before we move in.
@gertjan Thanks, that's good advice; I tend to prefer command line as well so I will definitely take a peek at df next time. Unfortunately, no ZFS for me, for reasons discussed above (no support on ARM32 chips).
@rcoleman-netgate That works, even if the usb console doesn't.
I'll run with that instead of returning the unit, as the config is working and this still gives me a serial option if required.
Thanks for all the info.

This is the part number of the installed RAM according to my documentation

Any M- and B-key NVMe drive*
Doh! That's a very good point. I completely forgot about that!
@umitdk take note if you're considering buying your own. It should be under warranty though.

You can do that but you don't need 2 NICs to do it. The 1100 can do that using the LAN and OPT ports. Or using VLANs on the LAN port with an external managed switch.

@bitlo I think they’ve been out of stock for a while so not sure they could replace yours if they wanted.
Personally I’m not going back to Netgate hardware for the foreseeable future.
It does sounds like it might be.
Try running at the command line: etherswitchcfg
If it complains there is no switch device that's a problem.
Make sure you do a full power cycle on it to reset the switch chip if you have not already. Rebooting does not do that.
