One of my co-workers suggested that I try out Pfsense on an old box of mine and throw out my old router. And so I have just ordered 2 PCI Cat6 ports for the AMD64 3700+ box. Which I am told is complete overkill, but ah well.
I was wondering if anyone out there knows of other solutions like Pfsense, or the smoothwall type variant and can make a recommendation for ease of setup and performance? I am planning on using a generic gigabit switch to backup to the box for setting connections for several devices, as well as potentially adding a subnet wireless router for a wifi connection. I am very fortunate in that most of my solutions are wired or have a 3G connection at the moment.
Whats causing this switch is reviews Docsis 3.0 has been getting, and the fact that my otherwise trust ATT service's pings have gone from amazing(sub 60ms) to terrible(250+) when playing most games. As my iphone would suggest when looking for a wireless connection, it's because almost all of my neighbors have switched to ATT. So I am switching back to comcast and going to pickup my own Docsis 3.0 modem.
