Customer Reviews
I didn't realize this, but there isn't drivers for the 10GB ports on this router for OPNSense. It's because OPNSense runs on FreeBSD.
However, I was able to get OPNSense to work by running it under Proxmox as a VM. The throughput through various testing was only ~5gb over the 10gb ports and I think this is a limitation of the virtualized bridge.
I would give this 5 stars if OPNSense worked natively. But for now, it serves my needs as my WAN connection is only 2gb. I bought this (instead of a 2.5gb router) for future proofing.
Thank you for your feedback! You’re correct that OPNSense and pfSense are based on FreeBSD, which currently lacks native driver support for the AQC113C-B1-C chipset, and unfortunately, this is something beyond our control. We hope that pfSense and OPNSense will soon release driver updates for the AQC113C-B1-C NIC.
If you’re open to using OpenWRT, we have compiled a custom firmware with the necessary drivers, which can be downloaded from dl.ikoolcore.com. With this setup, the router will be able to fully utilize the 10Gbps bandwidth without any issues.
great little unit. Running multiple machines via Proxmox quite easily.
This is billed as a gateway router but actually using as such with something like pfSense is painful as the 10gbe ports use the marvell chip while only the 2.5G ports use the intel chips. Now I'm trying to run it inside vm on proxmox. May give up and sell it
We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We understand that the driver compatibility for the 10GbE Marvell chip with pfSense and other FreeBSD-based systems can be frustrating.
We apologize for the inconvenience caused by this limitation. Please note that this is primarily a limitation of the underlying FreeBSD-based operating system and not a hardware issue. The root cause of this issue lies in the upstream FreeBSD kernel's limited support for the AQC113C-B1-C chip. While we've highlighted this limitation in our product documentation, we recognize that it can still be frustrating for users with specific requirements.
Our router is designed to offer excellent performance and flexibility with a wide range of operating systems, including OpenWrt, which provides full compatibility with the Marvell chip. We recommend exploring alternative operating systems or reaching out to the pfSense community for further support.
Outstanding produkt! 5 Stars! The product quality is amazing as is the support. I could not be more happy.
Highly recommend it
