      Hello!

      Could you please give me an advice which Netgate appliance I should use for following project:

      A hotel with about 180 guests / Guest WiFi / seperate guest-wifi-VLAN
      Office with 3 Staff PCs / seperate office-VLAN /
      The hotel has a total internet provider connection of 800Mbit/s up/down

      What appliance could you recommend me

      1. with IDS/IPS for the Staff-VLAN ONLY
      2. with IDS/IPS for the Guest-VLAN and Staff VLAN
      3. without IDS/IPS

      Would be great if you could give some advice please...

      Thank you very much!

        With IPS the 6100 would be a good fit.

        Without IPS the 4100 would do that.

            Hi, I have much the same question.
            3 discreet LAN's
            Lan1. 72 Holiday rental Apartment Resort, each with own WIFI router, 2-3 bedrooms, smart TV in most, Netflix etc. At present only 54 apartments connected, other may or may follow at some point. Bandwidth QoS on each router, 25-40Mbps. 4 x Comms rooms, with fibre to Centre Comms room, then 1GB fibre (RJ45) National Broadband Network
            LAN2. Office, 2 computers, separate LAN
            LAN3. PABX
            I was hoping to use the 4100 but will listen to advise. I need 6 ports including WAN RJ45
            Also, a 4100 Netgate video states a RACK Mount option.
            I am currently running PFSENSE on a small 3rd party appliance as the firewall, but I would prefer a Netgate appliance.

            Thanks

            Russ

              I would definitely use the 6100 there. You might well end up with packages or traffic shaping on the firewall and the additional CPU cores will probably be required.
