It has five Gigabit Ethernet ports, one USB 2.0 port and a high power 30dBi/1W 802.11b/g/n wireless AP with antennas built in. The RB751G is the wireless SOHO Gigabit AP you have been waiting for. The labeling on my case is “RouterBOARD 751G”. On the other side there is an antenna connector for an external MMCX antenna. There are holes for passive cooling, some status LEDs, 5 RJ45 ports, and a USB 2.0 port. From the outside it’s a nice looking little box, with a seemingly sturdy enough plastic casing with the size of 113x138x29mm.
Tonight is the first time I power it up and connect to it, examining what it can do, and how to do it.
PS: I understand the RPI should not slow down my internet connection as it is currently 30/3 MBps, which I think it can handle it easy.I bought a MikroTik RouterBOARD RB751G-2HnD a little while back. If there is an easier way to make RPI a Router between the 2 parts of the network I could go for that instead and do the rest manually. So I am looking for a PFSense alternative that works on ARM (Tried Sophos UTM as well, no luck) Problem is it is not working for me because I seem to missing the part where the traffic is forwarded between eth1 eth0. I have a USB3 => Gigabit adapter lying around so I was thinking of replacing the Desktop machine with the RPI.Įth0 for LAN, Eth1 for WAN and have found some resources on line for that. So, shutting down the desktop machine is fine with me except I need my network monitoring. I already have all my services duplicated on both RPI and this machine (Plex, SVN, Gitea, Sonarr, Radarr, etc.) I have measured my power usage and found that the PFSense machine (VM on a Ryzen 1700x Desktop) is using more than 100kWH per month - Electricity is expensive here Works very well and using ntopng I can monitor the network using graphs efficiently. I am looking to decommission a PFSense machine and replace it with an RPI4 as network bandwidth monitor and firewall.Ĭurrent setup is VDSL modem => PFSense => Switch => Routers and machines
