The Netgate 4200 is ideal for pro-home, small/medium businesses, branch and edge deployments that require flexible port configurations to support 1 to 2.5 Gbps WAN capabilities across four discrete, unswitched 2.5 Gbps RJ-45 ethernet LAN ports – all in a silent desktop form factor.

**L3 Forwarding** (Router)

- IPERF3 Traffic: 8.75 Gbps
- IMIX Traffic: 9.28 Gbps

**Firewall** (10k ACLs)

- IPERF3 Traffic: 8.61 Gbps
- IMIX Traffic: 3.21 Gbps

**IPsec VPN** (AES-GCM-128 w/AES-NI)

- IPERF3 Traffic: 3.2 Gbps
- IMIX Traffic: 1.05 Gbps

_Netgate 4200 performance tests conducted with pfSense Plus software version 23.09.1_

**CPU:** Intel Atom C1110 with AVX2, 4-core @ 2.1 GHz. Delivers up to 3x on benchmarking results for routing, firewall and IPsec VPN versus the Netgate 4100.

**Network Ports:** Four 2.5G independent and configurable RJ45 LAN ports for maximum flexibility. Configure it for single or dual WAN, or high-availability failover.

**Storage:** 128 GB NVMe M.2 SSD

**Memory:** 4 GB LPDDR5 RAM. DDR5 memory allows more stable, higher transfer rates for memory-intensive applications (e.g. IDS/IPS).

**Cooling:** The passive cooling system and low power draw of the Netgate 4200 provides efficient thermal management and silent operation expected from smaller devices despite its significantly higher performance.
