Further, this segment has recently ballooned due to the global spike in work from home, stemming from the pandemic. Having sold the SG-1100 and SG-3100 for a couple of years now, it has become clear there is a market need sitting right between the two. Should a prospective buyer of either of those products now focus their attention on the 2100? Well, as you might imagine, the answer is ‘it depends’. This said, students of Netgate’s appliance lineup will immediately recognize similarities to the smaller SG-1100 and larger SG-3100 - both of which have been extremely popular. At $299, the SG-2100 is an attractive, robust and affordable option for demanding home, remote worker, and small business use. To put those figures into perspective, head over to our product comparison chart to see how it stacks up against its product line siblings. The obvious next question: how does it perform when running pfSense®, the world’s leading open-source secure networking software? Performance testing reveals the SG-2100 shines as a 1.56 Gbps router, 881 Mbps firewall, or 118 Mbps IPsec VPN solution.

Packaged into a visually sleek and compact form factor - with low power draw and silent, fanless operation - the product is well-suited for desktop, wall, or shelf deployment. The SG-2100 features a dual-core ARM64 Cortex A53 1.2 GHz CPU, dedicated 1 GbE WAN port (RJ45/SFP combo), (4) 1 GbE Marvell switch ports (with a 2.5 Gbps uplink), 4 GB of DDR4 RAM, and upgradable storage. We’re excited about it and we hope you will be too!įirst, the essentials - product specifications and packaging. Netgate’s newest addition to our ever popular secure networking appliance family.
