So my freind upgraded his network to 2.5gb and has been having trouble with pfsense and opnsense. found out it could be his realtek nic in his dell optiplex router. any cheap 4 port 2.5gb nic’s he can try? He can use 2 - 2 port NICs if he must.

He wants to try to use opnsense due to the problems with netgate.
Fair. I’ve been considering OPNSense myself, but I bought an Intel NIC just so that I know I have the option of using either. Also, the nerds here generally agree that they’re higher quality than Realtek.
