      Hello,
      New to the Netgate world so I am looking for some help on sizing of an appliance. We have a 1 gig hand-off from ISP. Plan is to have 24 apartments share this link for TV, gaming, general internet. What would be the best performing and cost effective option? I have used Sonicwalls in the past but do not want to pay for connection upgrades. Thanks for any suggestions.

        @slegsonly 40Mbps per apartment on average...
        You'd be fine with the 4100, but I would probably go 6100 so you can grow your ISP speeds in the future.

        We don't charge for performance upgrades after purchase - that's just something the other guys may do. For future-proofing I'd get the 6100. If you're going to do logging get the MAX.

        You can also email sales@netgate.com and have one of our sales reps work with you.
