Qotom Mini Q170S (8GB RAM 64GB SSD CPU J3710)

Hi,

that should work okay. What is you wan connection speed? The GUI will be very slow during configuration and make sure you disable speed step.

Hello,

I have a VDSL 50 line.

Where is this speed step to be set?

Is the hardware sufficient for normal traffic or do I have to deal with restrictions in normal operation?

Can the XG also "HTTPS decrypt and scan" like UTM and would the hardware still be sufficient for this?

Many greetings
Marc

Depends on what features you're going to use.

Expect around 350Mbit/s with IPS/ATP/AV. (With hyperscan.)

Expect around 120Mbit/s with TLS Decryption with AV/IPS/ATP.

But it will all depend on what kind of traffic is passing through.

Yes, with TLS 1.3 support.

You will be heavily limited in throughput because of your processor, but since you have a 50Mbit/s VDSL line, the processor should be able to handle It without issues.

If you can, get a better processor.

Thanks for the help.

Unfortunately, I don't really know much about processors.

Can you recommend an alternative in a similar price segment?

I would also like to pay attention to the power consumption.

I am currently looking at the following:

Qotom 4 LAN Mini PC with Processor N2920 Quad Core 1.86 GHz CPU TDP 7.5 W Home Office Router Firewall.

or

SCHNELLE 4 RS232 MINI PC J1900 N2920 mini wohnzimmer PC / HTPC host/industrielle computer Celeron Quad-core

Would this be more suitable?

I don’t think any of them are suitable, they are too old. Power consumption is over rated, if the device uses 10wh, that is a 100 hours for 1 kWh and how much do you pay for a kWh?

what do up you anticipate your users doing with your internet connection?

Hi,

this would be a better buy and improved performance with low power.

low power 4 port firewall.

As well it uses intel NICs which will give you improved performance.

Ian

Thank you for the suggestion.

I have looked at all the models in the shop. Would the following model be even better? It has an Intel Celeron J4105 and DDR4 installed:

Most definitely better.the only question would be does it have a default bios?

I'm really totally unsure at the moment. The CPU seems important to me now and the energy consumption not so important.

According to this, the last model would be much better, but I have never heard of the company IKuaios before and I am always "afraid" of bad quality and conception, which can cause fire in the worst case or something similar.
Probably a stupid thought but...

Qotom has been on the market for much longer and is apparently also often used here in the forum.

Does anyone else have any ideas about hardware or am I thinking too much?

I have one of those Qotom boxes and used it for a while but gave up on it because the device lacked performance when being configured. The Qotom boxes use old technology and have not updated their CPU offerings, while being under powered and work well for simple configurations. Depending on what your 4 users do and complex your configuration is will depend on performance,the other issue being increased line speed when you upgrade and XG performance with the newer versions.

My system as shown in my signature is a home built units.

For home use the recommendation is go for the fastest CPU you can buy that is not an I5 or greater model.
