One review says it can only hit 500mbit of firewall traffic.** A: Don't ask an engineer, ask a marketing person. If you are an engineer, you know that "1 Gbps" is actually ~941 Mbps after you subtract headers/framing/etc so no, you won't ever truly see 1 Gbps on any 1Gb NIC. It will negotiate at 1 Gb and say it's passing traffic at 1 Gbps, but that's the difference between marketing and a small technical matter of networking overhead. The marketing answer to your question is "it depends" - upon how many rules you have, what size packets you're moving, what additional packages you may have installed. The more rules you have, the slower every packet filtering firewall goes that relies on in kernel based networking. So the only way to find out how fast it will go is to test it. Fortunately, Netgate has tested these systems using a well defined, standard IMIX setup. Contact the Netgate sales group to discuss your throughput requirements or take a look at the blog post (june 2019) for details prior to purchasing on Amazon. If you want true knock-your-socks-off speed, look at the Netgate TNSR, which leverages the FD.io VPP open source project and does not rely on in-kernel based network processing. **Q: Can I hook this up between my router and modem?** A: Yes you can. This device is a router in its own right, and quite a good one, so I'm not sure why you would put it between another router and the network terminal adapter. If you are building a DMZ for your network so that some services could live there and be accessible to the Internet and to your internal network while keeping your internal network inaccessible, such a connection scheme would make sense. That's a pretty sophisticated approach for a home/small business network, however, and probably better addressed by using cloud providers like Google, Amazon, or Microsoft to provision the publicly-visible services. Aside: maybe your device actually is a modem, but I'd be surprised in 2019 if that were the case ... anyway, 'terminal adapter' is the term of art that covers both modems and other network interface devices. **Q: Does the lan interface support vlan trunking to logically split lan and dmz networks?** A: Great question. Yes! All of the interfaces can do this. **Q: What is the nation of origin? Where is the SG-1000 made?** A: At this time, the SG-1100 is being manufactured in China. By December 2019, we expect to have transitioned manufacturing successfully to Taiwan. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best for home security *by on Reviewed in the United States June 7, 2026* Works great as a home firewall but there is a steep learning curve to understand how to configure this. Lots of free info online but expect to spend some considerable time learning this firewall or you might end up with an unsecure configuration leaving yourself vulnerable. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Product for starter homelab or home network *by on Reviewed in the United States October 13, 2021* It is a good product for the starter and does do what it is intended but keep in mind this does not supply WIFI you would need to pick up another device. If your using on a simple lab or home network will work fine but anything more it may bog down due to the CPU if doing to much traffic through it. Otherwise GREAT for what paid well worth it ### ⭐ No support 1 month and no response from them! *by on Reviewed in the United States April 9, 2020* Over a decade ago, I set up pfSense on a Soekris Net5501 by using an image on an SD card and connecting by a serial cable to configure everything. The hardware is getting old and I wanted a reliable replacement firewall.Buying this from Netgate was a serious mistake.I had configured my old firewall 100% on my own and it ran well for over a decade. When I made updates, there was no problem. When I got tied up with deaths in the family, moving, building a new house, and so on, for a number of years, that old pfSense firewall just kept chugging along, working perfectly.I felt, after that long, it was time to update, but I didn't want to mess with putting an image on an SD card and dealing with a serial cable. I don't have the time I did in the past, so I ordered a simple box, running the same software, that was backwards compatible. Supposedly I could load the configuration from my old firewall directly into the new one and that would be it.Well, no. I had issues with DNS from the start, but it didn't look like firewall issues. It looked more like flakey ISP issues. I had to go to the forums and, after FOUR days exchanging messages and spending hours each day, I finally got the new configuration tweaked so we didn't keep losing connectivity repeatedly. During this time, I wrote a letter to Netgate - to Sales, since they promise "zero to ping" tech support, but they don't have that contact email anywhere on the website. Hell, unless you pay for tech support, you have only the forum. A month later? Not one single reply on that email. (I was hoping Sales would at least say, "We gotta make sure this guy doesn't complain to others and badmouth us," and send me to tech support, but they ignored it.)So now, while the whole country is on lockdown, I'm finding it takes 1/3 of a second for a ping to this device on a network that was working perfectly until I replaced the old pfSense firewall with the Netgate one running a new version of pfSense.I don't know what's wrong with this system, but it keeps malfunctioning and creating issues that slow down connections when an old version of the same software, on old hardware, worked perfectly.And help? No. They don't give it. Not even zero to ping. They don't care.Time to go back to the old hardware. It worked. I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and go through the old fashioned upgrade process because I sure as hell can't count on Netgate's equipment to work properly. ## Frequently Bought Together - Netgate 1100 pfSense+ Security Gateway | VPN, Router, Firewall | Lifetime TAC Lite Support | 3X 1 GbE Ports | Protect Your Network with This Fully Featured, Professional Network Security Appliance. - Netgate 2100 MAX pfSense+ Security Gateway | Firewall, VPN, Router | Lifetime TAC Lite Support | 4X 1 GbE Ports | 1x 1 GbE Combo RJ45 or SFP | Protect Your Network! - Ubiquiti U6+ Dual Band IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax 3 Gbit/s Wireless Access Point --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/138746906-netgate-1100-pfsense-security-gateway-firewall-router-vpn](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/138746906-netgate-1100-pfsense-security-gateway-firewall-router-vpn) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-08-24*
