Hello,
Looks like my netgate SG-2220 is dead.
I have a solid Orange status led, and the 4 led for the network adapter are solid green.
Looking over the internet, it is a know issue with that motherboard, some clock issue.
Anyway, I have to replace the device.
What do you suggest ?
mostly used as firewall, and to protect my home network.
It run a VPN client, for all my outgoing connection, and a VPN server, for my incoming connection, when I want to access home from outside.
The sg-2220 could handle the speed, so should the replacement unit.
I see now there is the sg-1100. Is there other choice ?
Thank you
The problem with consumer grade router, using openwrt, is that they cannot take the load of the VPN connection at 100 Mbs/s, or at least they could not, 3-4 years ago.
Most routers are extremely under-powered. If you filter OpenWRT’s list by RAM you’ll see some pretty beefy ones near the top.
Another option is using RouterOS which has broad compatibility but is recommended for MikroTik hardware, the makers of which created and maintain RouterOS.
