AC Wifi to the NAS is really quick... love their products.
That must have been an old girl!
Even the "new" SonicWall SOHO has some decent throughput at 300Mbit for Firewall traffic. IPS is lower of course.
I was most recently running an ASA-5506W-X w/FirePower, however I've swapped that out for an ISR 2951 G2 and an HP Aruba access point (AC). The Aruba has noticeably better throughput than the WAP702i that's integrated into the ASA, as well as better range. Presently trying to score a 2nd hand Compute Engine for the ISR so I can install a FirePower VM on it. Not having much luck though
Umm.... Tele3SP haha, then I had a TZ180 just pegged with 100/100 Verizon FiOS. So yeah pretty old stuff.
I also was running a Pix 506e for a while on 15/1 Cable internet, ran well.
That beauty was DC'd in 2004! That is just as bad as the one VPN endpoint I inherited a few years back. Was running a Cisco 831... You know she's old when they reference Netscape 3 in the setup guide, LMAO!
The unit had a 10Mbit WAN port.... It did have an uptime of something like 5 years though when pulled.
The old PIX units had decent throughput for what they were. I've had a few different ASA's, never owned a PIX though (worked on a few but never had one in my home lab) as they were being replaced by the first-gen ASA's by the time I really started getting active in the Cisco scene.
I prefer the ISR platform overall, particularly the modular 2nd gen units.
