Correct. You can go with an RB250, 5 x G ports managed low power/cost switch: http://routerboard.com/RB250GS They are very reliable (update to the latest os) and easily configured. With one RB250 you have a 4 G ports router, and not only for WANs. We use it for LANs and WIFI nets also (high traffic). _______________________________________________ List mailing list List@lists.pfsense.org http://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
