Firewalla makes great devices but this one was used for solid 3 years with no reboots.

I noticed the upload has slowed down considerably from 1000 up / 1000 down to 100 up only. Download was not affected. It did reduce the performance of my security camera feeds.

Anyway - it’s useful for travelling as it has a built in wifi and gives you loads of extra security. Again could be a fun project and testing device before they jump into buying something more expensive like Gold or Gold SE.

It will be shipped with an American style plug charger.

I will fully reset the item before shipping it in its original box.

$50 + 8 (shipping).

Are you selling because it's faulty? Have you tried just replacing the Ethernet cable to see if is not the cable?

I love the unit so I upgraded to Firewalla Gold SE to maximise Hyperfibre (that's why CF60 Netcomm is for sale).

 

I don't think it will be the cabling as I have replaced those already. 

 

The interface / support / the speed I was getting out was amazing. I would highly recommend their products others.

JFYI - there was a known problem with the Purples having upload speed go to hell.

 

Purple Upload very slow problem – Firewalla

 

Firewalla had been quite happy to replace any affected hardware...

It's a known problem with the ethernet MAC/PHY in early hardware revs, once it hits things slowly get worse and worse.  However Firewalla replaced mine free of charge years after I got it, can't fault their service.

 

If someone actually wants to spend money on a device like this, I've got a faulty Purple too.
