The Designare is exactly what I was looking for in a pfsense router. Two 10gbe ports with a server-grade intel chipset -- no need to get a PCIe card (even though they are cheap now on ebay).
Unlike a commercial router, this will have RGB and angular plastic shrouds to go along with zero promise of sufficient backplane throughput. What's not to love about such a brilliant kludge of a solution to a non-problem?
Yah way overkill, i mean its a router for home use. If you really concerned with bandwidth, stop being a cheap old person and get a actual real router.
Hiding the 2.5 and 5GB capability until the chipset can be re-branded isn't that stupid a reason... after all, they can't charge more unless the name is updated.
