We anticipate the birth of twins around November 10. Once the twins arrive, shipping and support may be delayed for a short while.

APU2, APU3 and APU4 are the most popular routers we sell because they are open-source, achieve excellent performance and are rock solid.

The router is shipped assembled, pre-configured, optimized and ready to use (unless you choose otherwise).

APU router is the most open-source network device you can buy. It comes with open-source BIOS, open-source operating system of your choice and open hardware schematics. It's not locked down in any way.

APU2, APU3 and APU4 are very similar to each other and achieve roughly the same performance. You can see the detailed comparison here

Hardware supports OPNsense, pfSense, Open-WRT, *BSD and number of other operating systems.

Things to consider:

  • APU2E0 is a stripped-down version of APU2E4.
    • It has 2GB of non-ECC RAM instead of 4GB ECC,
    • 2 LAN ports instead of 3
    • i211AT NIC interfaces instead of i210AT
    • no internal SATA port.
    • in practice it has the same performance as the more expensive version!
  • APU2 supports two WiFi mPCIe cards. APU3 and APU4 support one. 
  • APU3 and APU4 are optimized for LTE connectivity, APU2 isn't. You can connect one or two mPCIe LTE modems to APU3 and APU4 to get WAN over 3G/4G.
  • Detailed comparison of APU2, APU3, APU4. 
  • All LAN ports have real interfaces with separate chips. Those are real router ports, not switch ports.

Fördelar mot konkurrerande hårdvaruprodukter

  • Helt tyst. 0 dB - passivt kyld. Inga rörliga delar
  • Liten: 16,8 cm X 15,7 cm
  • Mycket låg strömförbrukning - 6 till 12W
  • Very high throughput - 1 Gbit on pfSense (version 2.4.x, slightly worse performance in 2.5.x), OpenWRT and IPFire
  • CPU har inbyggt krypteringsstöd (AES-NI), vilket möjliggör hög VPN prestanda.
  • Pris

Hårdvara ingår:

Fördelar mot proprietära lösningarna:

  • Låg total ägandekostnad
  • Inga konstgjorda add-ons krävs för att ditt system ska fungera
  • Inga extra avgifter för extrafunktioner - allt ingår. obegränsade användare, obegränsade brandväggsregler. obegränsade VPN-konton.
  • Låg energiförbrukning. Det kommer inte att synas på din elräkning.
  • Inga rörliga delar. Detta system är utformat för att hålla i årtal.

Router / brandvägg kommer monterad, förkonfigurerad och redo att användas. Om du föredrar att montera delarna själv, ange det i din beställning. Ange även om du vill ha pfSense, IPFire eller inget OS installerat.
