Hardware Suggestions for Multi-Gigabit Fiber pfSense Router
Hello. I recently upgraded to my home internet to Quantum Fiber at 3 Gig with plans to upgrade to 8 Gig.
The Quantum Modem / Router (C6500XK) option is horrible and I want to put the modem in transparent bridge mode and have a real simple and compact 10Gbe WAN (Copper) and 10Gbe LAN (Copper) pfSense router solution.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
UPDATE 1
Thanks to all of you for your time and Input!!
So after much research and consideration I think I am going to do the following:
Lenovo M920Q Tiny Desktop (Intel i5 8000T series, 16GB RAM and 256GB SSD)
1 x Intel X550-T2 NIC
Approx. hardware cost: $240
Any thoughts?
Suggestions on pfSense deployment? Proxmox VM with High Availability?
UPDATE 2
I did get a Lenovo M920Q Tiny Desktop with an Intel i5 8500T 16GB RAM and 256GB M.2 SSD
Purchased a riser adapter for PCIe and Purchased and Intel X550-T2
Purchased VESA mount to mount it to my wall near the Quantum Fiber Modem.
