<![CDATA[ISP offering 1.2Gbps - What NIC(s) are recommended?]]>As topic title really.

I know I need suitable switches etc but my bigger issue is readying my beloved PfSense box 😊

Thank you.

I have a custom built appliance, specs as below:
Intel G5400
4GB RAM
SSD
Intel Dual GB NIC

If these are still your system specs, simply swapping the Intel Dual GB NIC for something like this will do it. Unless you've got extra card slots, then just add one for some extra ports.

Just watch out for counterfeit cards...

If it's 2.5GbaseT there are several igc(4) supported NICs you can use. Including those on the 4100.
