A couple years ago I moved from a DGL-4500 to pfsense running on an old Core 2 Duo laptop.
I've been pleased with the throughput and QOS of the pfsense, managing multiple netflix streams, bittorrent, VPN, browsing, online gaming, and so on without a hiccup. I feel like I'm getting full value from my 50MB internet connection.
However, the management of the pfsense is starting to be a pain. UPnP, content/ad filtering, parental controls, ZeroConf each turn into afternoon projects, rather than simple configurations.
Is there a consumer class router (or software) that can stably manage all my bandwidth and connection requirements while providing better consumer-class features? I don't need wireless, as it's already handled by a dlink DAP-2553 over POE.
