      I'm new to pfsense & am looking at the different hardware offerings.

      Can anyone estimate which level of official device I would need if I am only using basic routing, but using advanced limiting of traffic (8 VLANS, shared excess bandwidth, codel algorithm), to fully utilize a WAN speed of 1G?

        The 6100 will do that. The 4200 would also do it if it was available.
