      Re: The oldest hardware still running pfSense+ 23.09

      I am specifically curious now about the oldest hardware that Netgate made, which can still run pfSense+ 24.03.

          @NogBadTheBad: Is it still up to snuff? I mean, does it handle the throughput you need it to?

              The FW-7551 I have still runs 24.03 as does the APU. The FW-7541 still would if I had one.

                @stephenw10: So, the FW-7541 looks like this:

                Do you know, when it came out? How much did it cost?

                  It went EOL : https://www.netgate.com/support/product-lifecycle. Let's say it was the 2, 3 years old back then. I guess it was proposed somewhere around in 2010, maybe earlier.

                  Price : even my assurance company won't ask that question.
                  Prices on ebay is all what I could find after 30 seconds of searching.

                  No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                  Edit : and where are the logs ??

                    My point is that with all the stories you’ve been able to read lately about consumer-grade routers being incorporated into botnets, it’s good to know that in 15 years my Netgate hardware will in all likelihood still be able to run the latest updates and patches.

                    I have a few residential clients for whom I installed Negate 1100s and 2100s, in part for the sake of OPSEC.

                      By 2011 we were selling the FW-7535 which I would also expect to be able to run 24.03 since it's a 64bit Atom CPU:

                      The 7541 was added in 2013:

                          No it can't because the VIA CPU in that is 32bit. The last 32bit pfSense release was 2.3.5.

                            By that time you may need a 128bit processor!
