INTRODUCTION

Need for speed!

Gigabit has been struggling to meet our needs for NAS or home networks in a local network. However, the price of 2.5Gbe peripherals remains high. With low-cost accessories and a little configuration, you can now host your high-speed network on ZimaBoard or your PC.

Realtek RTL8125 is not a new chip solution, and it is compatible with Ubuntu and OpenWRT. However, under the pfSense system, the Realtek solution has been moderately criticized. We also noticed that pfSense 2.5 made optimizations for the Realtek chip, but we still advise some research before choosing.
