Security News > 2022 > June > pfSense vs Netgear router: What are the main differences?

PfSense also offers its own routers under the name Netgate for those who want an experience closer to a bundled hardware and software option, such as with Netgear, but with the added options and flexibility pfSense offers.

Due to the variety of hardware configurations with both pfSense and Netgear, this comparison will mostly focus on software settings and the key features between the two.

Netgear router software does not have these features built in by default.

PfSense users can get a similar bundled experience as Netgear hardware and software by choosing one of the pfSense approved ARM-based hardware appliances that are sold under the brand Netgate.

Whether you choose pfSense or a Netgear option, they both do offer dynamic DNS support, but pfSense does offer more options, supporting over 20 DNS services.

These additional features extend a pfSense router and firewall setup beyond that of a typical configuration.
