pfsense+ to pfsense on NETGATE 1100
-
Can I use normal pfsense with NETGATE 1100? I would not like to use the pfsense+ if possible. If I buy one would I be able to reflash it with pfsense?

@jeoxfli No, the only builds for Netgate hardware are pfSense Plus.
If you have a 2.4.5_p1 image still you could install that but the ARM systems are only able to run pfSense Plus after version 2.4.5_p1. I would not run an older version of the software, either, as there have been many security and bug fixes since it's initial release.

The 1100 is ARM and there are no CE ARM builds of any version.
Even the older versions before the "Plus" branding were still customized and referred to as "Factory" versions which were different from CE.
Some of the amd64 Netgate hardware can run CE, but some require special drivers/code for certain hardware and you'd lose other hardware-specific tuning and capabilities. For example the 7100 wouldn't run CE well because it couldn't drive the integrated switch, among other things. The 6100 could run CE but you'd lose QAT support and other items tuned for that hardware (LEDs, Reset button, and so on)
