Gold Plus or Gold SE?
Hi
I have been following the Gold SE product (I do regret that I did not get it earlier); now, I am a bit confused about whether I should get the Gold Plus or the Gold SE. Besides the price difference, and the 2 extra 2.5 gigabit ports on the Gold Plus, what else should I worry about? (the price of the Gold SE is just fantastic!)
I have Comcast gigabit service, and I am using the purple unit (which is fantastic), and I need more ports for multiple WAN. (I was thinking about the Gold original as well, please comment)

First, please look at the price first. Gold SE and Gold are at the same pricing point, and the Gold Plus is a premium device.- Pick Gold Plus if:
-
- You have more than 100 or 150 devices on your network
- Or your WAN speed is greater than 2 Gigabit
- Or you require multiple network segments with 2.5 gigabit interface
- Or you look at network flows often and need slightly faster data indexing
- Pick Gold SE if
-
- Your WAN speed is greater than 1 Gigabit and less than 2.1 Gigabit (such as Comcast 1.2 Gigabit)
- Or you need one 2.5 gigabit interface LAN
- Otherwise, any model will work.
If you will never go beyond gigabit networks on LAN/WAN, all three units are good.
