Netgate-4200-Description

The Netgate® 4200 with pfSense® Plus software is the most versatile security gateway in its class. The 4200 utilizes the blazing fast performance of 4-core Intel® Atom® C1110 CPU to achieve benchmark results up to three times faster in routing, firewall forwarding and IPsec VPN than the previous generation of security gateways. The 4200 delivers over 9.2 Gbps of L3 routing across four independent 2.5 GbE flexible WAN/LAN ports. 

Netgate-4200-Performance

Hardware Comparison Chart


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.

Netgate 4200 performance tests conducted with pfSense Plus software version 23.09.1

Netgate-4200-Specifications

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: 16 GB eMMC 

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.

Netgate-5100-Software

pfSense Plus software provides the performance, flexibility, reliability and business assurance expected from leading secure networking applications:

  • Up to 10 Gbps performance
  • Flexible 3rd-party application options
  • Traditional management mechanisms
  • Proven reliability
  • Complete business assurance support

All at a fraction of the cost of proprietary alternatives, pfSense Plus software is the perfect answer. Popular pfSense Plus use cases include load balancing, traffic shaping, captive portal, UTM device, DNS/DHCP Server, IDS/IPS, failover WAN, and much more.

A nice upgrade for my fried 4100.

It all started in June 2024. Severe lightning storm in the area, the lights browned out and came back on, but the internet didn't. Checked my rack, UPS was on, none of the breakers tripped, and none of the surge protectors tripped. Pulled the 4100 out, put in my trusty travel router so I could have internet for the house. Posted on Reddit, and folks were super helpful, especially Glen/gshok and kphillips. We tried a different power supply, but sadly this wasn't the case. It took a few pay cycles to save up for a new unit, and I read and researched until the date of purchase. I reached back out to gshok, who directed me to Matthew. Purchase made. I opened a TAC ticket, and Lev reconfigured an old config file. When the 4200 arrived, I made the connections, booted it up, installed my new config file, rebooted, and logged in. I made some tweaks, and almost a month later, it is still processing packets and protecting my network. The netgate team truly rocks.

4200 - A Very Capable Device

Shipping was quick and it arrived on a weekend! Purchasing it was a pain free experience.
The 4200 replaced an SG-2200 and was quite the upgrade! Support performed a conversion from the old device backup to a 4200 compatible configuration that saved me a lot of typing. It worked perfectly as long as I had the WAN port connected so it could install the necessary packages. Everything performs better and being able to exploit the 2.5 Gb ports is a real plus at this price point. I did add an NVMe card and am using that as the primary file system.
The only head scratcher is the numbering of the four ports. Numbers on the case are 1 to 4 (left to right). In PFSense+ they are identified as igc0 to igc3 (right to left). When using port labeled 1 on the case is actually igc3 in software. This feature does not affect the device in any way other than needing to know about it.
Really nice device. I hope it has the longevity of the SG-2200 but only time will tell. It’s only been in service for a couple of week.

Great product

Outstanding product and a nice upgrade for my long-time preference, Ubiquiti EdgeMax routers. Very flexible and easily configurable, lots of tools available out of the box, great web UI, awesome extension capabilities thanks to third-party packages.

I would prefer to see at least one 10Gbps Ethernet and/or 10Gbps SFP+ interface(s). Also, it would be nice to have an SSD drive instead of eMMC. Still, I'm very happy with my purchase.

Great Choice for Home Pro / Small Business!

The Netgate SG-4200 is the perfect fit for the budding Home Pro and Small Business. It has the processing power to add a few 3rd party plugins to enhance the already great features that come default. Price point and features set hit the sweet spot for most customer needs.
