Fanless Firewall Appliance
The BFKK MGSRN305MOGINSOK is a fanless mini PC built around an Intel Alder Lake-N100 processor with four cores and four threads reaching 3.4 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR5 memory and a 256 GB M.2 PCIe 3.0 SSD, plus four Intel I226V 2.5GbE network ports. The system arrives with pfSense Plus 23.01 pre-installed and supports OPNsense, OpenWrt, Ubuntu, Windows 10 or 11, ESXi and Proxmox.
Network specialists, not desktop users
This appliance suits administrators who need a silent, low-power router, firewall or virtualisation host with multiple 2.5 GbE interfaces and hardware AES-NI acceleration. It is not for buyers who want a general-purpose desktop, integrated Wi-Fi, or a system that can accommodate additional expansion cards beyond the single M.2 slot.
Four Intel I226V 2.5GbE ports
The decisive specification is the quartet of Intel I226V controllers, each capable of 2.5 GbE throughput, which determines whether the box can serve as a multi-WAN router or high-speed firewall. Without a matching requirement for four 2.5 GbE links, a simpler platform would be more appropriate.

Questions about this item
How quiet and cool does the fanless N100 stay when the four 2.5GbE ports run all day?
The Intel N100 has a 6 W TDP and the chassis is completely fanless, so it produces no audible noise and stays cool under continuous multi-gigabit load.
What RAM and storage must I supply before the unit can boot pfSense or OPNsense?
You need to add one DDR5 4800 MHz module up to 32 GB and one M.2 PCIe 3.0 SSD; the board ships with empty slots for both.
Will the four Intel I226-V 2.5GbE ports work with my existing gigabit switches and Cat 5e cabling?
Yes, each 2.5GbE port auto-negotiates down to 1 GbE or 100 MbE, so your current switches and Cat 5e cables work without replacement.
