      Just bought the SG-1100. Did a very basic setup just to get the network going again, and to start experimenting with pfSense.

      Everything works great so far, but I did notice that my Internet speeds have dropped by about half. I have a (verified) 1Gb/s internet connection (download, up is only 25Mb/s), but since installing the SG-1100 I only see around 500Mb/s.

      Is this due to the SG-1100 hardware, or should I look elsewhere for the cause? Nothing else has changed in my network setup.

      If this is due to the SG-1100, will upgrading to the 2100 or 4100 solve my issue?

      Thanks for your help.

        @rvd The 1100 is one switch with VLANs. So yeah it’s limited. For a gig the 2100 IIRC will not be enough either as it’s the same CPU, albeit with more interfaces.

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

          @steveits Thanks for the quick reply. I guess there's a 4100 in my future then.

          BTW - Is there a reason there's no longer a 3100? Will be there a replacement for it in the future?

            Supply chain issues -- our supplier had trouble getting components in the device.

            It's replacement is the Netgate 4100.
