Product Information

One thing that is interesting about running both Zenarmor and Suricata is that the CPU stays pegged around 50% which indicates that both Zenarmor and Suricata are competing for the same 2 cores (the Zenarmor team has indicated to me that is likely what is happening based on what I am seeing). Because of this, throughput will take a hit when running both services. It is too bad that the services cannot be distributed better across the cores because it is possible much higher throughput could be available even for these lower power CPUs if the entire CPU was being fully utilized. Zenarmor + Suricata: 10G Gowin Updates on AlderLake-N series , we have started the layout.We will get the motherboard demo in the middle of this April.

For this test, I enabled Zenarmor on one interface and Suricata on the other interface since they both cannot run on the same interface at the same time due to limitations with netmap. Typically you would run Suricata on the WAN and Zenarmor on the LAN. As one would expect, and perhaps the biggest bummer was VMware ESXi 8.0. R86S Running VMware ESXi 8.0 2

R86S Mini PC Internal Hardware Overview

Entry-level models have an Intel Celeron N5105 processor, 8GB of RAM, no wireless card, and just three 2.5 Gbps Ethernet ports. But you can pay extra for models with up to a Pentium N6005 processor, 16GB of RAM, WiFi 6 + Bluetooth, and five Ethernet ports (2 x 10 Gbps + 3 x 2.5 Gbps). In terms of noise, this system is audible, but given it is targeting ~30W max of cooling capacity with a metal chassis and two small fans the noise is actually not bad. What is more, the pitch of the fans was not overly annoying. In the accompanying video, you can hear the unit.

Since we have seen the N305 many times, we just wanted to confirm that we are getting the expected performance. Python Linux 4.4.2 Kernel Compile Benchmark Here, we can confirm that the distribution of the PCIe lanes is concentrated around buses 00, 01, 02, 03, and 04. Among these lanes, the most crucial one is bus 04 as it houses our MCX4421A card. However, it's essential to consider the other lanes as well. Let's take a closer look at the PCIe configuration: All of the R86S models feature a PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe storage slot so you can take advantage of very fast storage especially when compared to the eMMC storage. Not all mini-PC router/firewall appliances are equipped with NVMe storage so this is a great feature that offers extra performance. When using a quality NVMe drive such as a Samsung NVMe drive, you can take full advantage of the PCIe 3.0 x4 bandwidth (as shown in the “Performance” section).

Ahora bien en el caso del GW-R86S al disponer de 32 GB de RAM, una eMMC de 128GB y un SSD NVMe no hay limitación alguna tanto así que nos hemos permitido instalar en el disco Windows 10, Windows 11 y Ubuntu 23 … manteniendo en el eMMC una versión más anticuada de Ubuntu 22 The Intel Core i3-N305 is a CPU that we absolutely love. We have called this one of the biggest generational leaps in CPUs that we have seen recently, as it moved the entire line from almost a decade of quad-core E-core parts to an 8-core part.

Regarding replacing the WiFi card, it depends on the model. G models for sure, B have Intel 2xx embedded, but you can add one, I am not sure about other models. You may want to set up your R86S router with OPNsense while the WAN is plugged into your primary router until you are ready to deploy it as your main router since that allows you to test the configuration without taking down your entire network.
