Purpose-built firewall appliance

This fanless Intel N100 mini PC ships with 8 GB of DDR5 memory, a 256 GB M.2 PCIe 3.0 SSD and four Intel I226V 2.5 GbE ports. It is designed for network engineers and home-lab enthusiasts who run pfSense, OPNsense or similar routing software on dedicated hardware.

Silent operation and flexible mounting

The 6 W TDP allows completely passive cooling, so the unit runs without audible noise in a rack, on a shelf or behind a monitor. Four 2.5 GbE interfaces provide multiple WAN or LAN segments, while HDMI 2.1 and DP 1.4 support dual 4K output at 60 Hz for local console access.

Replaces older single-port routers

Upgrading from a 1 GbE gateway removes the throughput bottleneck when multiple VLANs or VPN tunnels are active. The jump is worthwhile when you need AES-NI acceleration, VT-x/VT-d virtualisation support or a compact platform that can also serve as a lightweight ESXi or Proxmox host.

Questions about this item

What throughput does each Intel I226 2.5GbE port cap at in practice?

Each of the four Intel I226 ports supports up to 2.5 Gbps, so the practical ceiling per port is 2.5 GbE.

What physical slots and clearance does the MGSRN100 need for RAM and SSD?

It has one DDR5 SO-DIMM slot (max 32 GB at 4800 MHz) and one M.2 PCIe 3.0 slot for storage.

How is the pre-installed pfSense Plus 23.01 image applied, and what step do users miss?

The OS ships ready-to-boot; the common miss is not updating to the latest pfSense/OPNsense build for full I226 driver support.
