To watch Netflix in 4k they say you only need 15 Mbps but I think for better performance its probably closer to 30. Just want to throw out there that it is very unlikely you need a gig for your home internet.


Thoughts? I realize there are price differences, but those are not material to me. Bazzell's recommendation (based on my speeds) would be a 6 port (the FW6B, which doesn't appear available on Amazon through his direct link), so I'm looking to purchase direct and considering the FW6Br2, D or E.The current setup is gigabit service internet provided by our cable provider, I own my own cable modem (Netgear) and my WiFi is an Orbi mesh network. I'm in the early stages of improving my privacy and one of my projects is to improve my home network. The FW6 Series units come with a VESA mount kit and a wire harness for mounting a 2.5″ drive (SSD recommended) internally.įor more information on tested OS compatibility with the Vault, please see this link.Apologies for the newb questions. The enclosure also comes with pre-drilled holes for an available wireless kit ( available here). Its all aluminum enclosure (no plastic here) is a giant heat sink, keeping the CPU cool. The Vault is fanless so it has no moving parts, which results in an incredibly durable platform that can be used in less than ideal environments. The Vault uses standard Intel components (including Intel NIC ports) which results in compatibility with a variety of operating systems, including a number of open source firewall projects. The Kaby Lake CPU supports AES-NI, Intel’s Hardware Acceleration for Encryption. The FW6 is based on a 6 network port design that leverages a low power, but versatile Intel Celeron i3-7020U CPU. The Vault is a small form factor PC built for use as a firewall / router.
