Firewalla Starts Shipping Gold Pro to Strengthen Security and Meet Faster Speeds Delivered By ISPs

New device immediately available to provide consumers and businesses with a gateway to faster networks and robust digital protection

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Sept. 12, 2024 — Internet service providers have started to deliver fast 5- and 10-Gigabit speeds, and prices for faster broadband have fallen to consumer levels. But the equipment most consumers and small businesses have still limits their ability to take advantage of the new speeds. Firewalla Gold Pro, the world’s most affordable 10-gigabit smart firewall with powerful security features, is now shipping so users can capitalize on high speeds now and in the future.

Firewalla, a leader in consumer-friendly plug-and-play home firewall devices, introduced the Gold Pro in April. The newest and most powerful device in Firewalla’s “Gold” product line is available for $889 and will ship starting today. Pre-sale units began shipping last week.

“We’re giving consumers a headstart on protecting their homes and offices at future speeds, without monthly fees,” said Jerry Chen, Founder of Firewalla. “As small businesses upgrade their infrastructure and consumers adopt faster offerings from their ISPs, the Gold Pro gives them unmatched visibility and protection for the next generation of networks.”

Firewalla Gold Pro includes two 10-gigabit and two 2.5-gigabit ethernet interfaces to help segment and add redundancy to a network. Powered by the Firewalla Software Stack, and optimized for the fastest networks in homes and small businesses, the Firewalla Gold Pro can route and inspect network traffic at 10-gigabit speeds and is fully ready to support Wi-Fi 7.

This newest and most powerful device is powered by a quad-core Intel processor and 8 gigabytes of RAM to scale with a growing network. This allows users to easily utilize VPNs at over 2 gigabit speeds, ensuring a fast and secure network experience even on the go.

Firewalla Gold Pro’s 10-gigabit ports can be used for wide area networks (WAN) and local area networks (LAN). Users can also segment their network with VLANs running at 10 gigabits or connect one port to a 10-gigabit Wi-Fi 7 access point and another to a high-speed switch. Optional rabbit ears make it easy to mount Firewalla Gold Pro to a network rack so it can connect with existing devices and keep setups clean and organized.

Firewalla products have helped protect homes and businesses in more than 100 countries. All Firewalla Gold Pro units come with a one year manufacturer warranty.
