Review on Powerful Mini-ITX Linux Q330G4 Router/Firewall/Proxy/WiFi Access Point: Intel Core i3, AES-NI, 8GB DDR3 RAM, 16GB SSD, 4 Gigabit LAN Ports by Matt Pavelko

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great for PfSense, good for computers and tablets

Arrived much faster than expected. PfSense version 2.4.5 was already installed (last at the time of writing this review). I prepared my current system and did a restore of this new system. Everything worked as expected. It just had to rename all the interfaces to match the new interface names (igb0, igb1, igb2, igb3). All VLANs, VPNs, users, packets, etc. worked without glitches after the restore. It even has a nice wall mount kit so I can wall mount all my other network gear. The old CPU was at 70+%, this one is running at around 2% with 5 VPNs and 19 VLAN and around 200+ devices and 100 rules. I also made sure to have AES-NI enabled as my newest box doesn't support it. I am very satisfied so far, I hope to get 10+ years out of this box. 5+ stars as it was fast delivery from Hong Kong, works as expected, even the built in wifi works in PfSense and has mounting hardware.

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine
