N100 4 cores / 4 threads for OPNsense, pfSense, OpenWrt, and low-power networking.
N150 4 cores / 4 threads for firewall, VPN, routing, and everyday network services.
N200 4 cores / 4 threads with additional performance headroom for multi-service networking.
N300 8 cores / 8 threads for Proxmox, containers, virtual firewalls, and home labs.
N305 8 cores / 8 threads for virtualization, VPN services, and heavier network workloads.
N355 8 cores / 8 threads for more demanding virtualization and multi-service deployments.

Six Intel i226-V 2.5GbE Network Ports

Six Intel i226-V 2.5GbE LAN ports provide dedicated physical interfaces for Multi-WAN routing, separate LAN segments, NAS connectivity, wireless access points, cameras, IoT devices, guest networks, and isolated lab environments.

6 × 2.5GbE Assign physical interfaces to WAN, LAN, NAS, access points, cameras, IoT equipment, or test networks.
Multi-WAN Configure multiple upstream links for failover, load balancing, or separate gateway routes.
Network Segmentation Separate trusted devices, guests, servers, IoT equipment, and lab systems through physical ports or VLANs.

Smallest Chassis in the F5/F7/F9/F11 Series

145.6 × 125.6 × 53.6 mm
14.56 × 12.56 × 5.36 cm
5.73 × 4.94 × 2.11 in
High-Y Chassis Smallest Enclosure VESA Mounting 8010 Fan Supported

The F7 uses the High-Y aluminum chassis and is the smallest enclosure among the F5, F7, F9 and F11 versions of this flagship 6-port motherboard platform. Its external dimensions are 145.6 × 125.6 × 53.6 mm, giving it the most compact overall footprint in the group.

This makes the F7 suitable where installation space is more limited while retaining the same six 2.5GbE ports, DDR5 memory, dual NVMe storage, VESA mounting capability, and optional 8010 fan support as the larger chassis variants.

OPNsense, pfSense, OpenWrt and Proxmox Compatibility

The F7 supports OPNsense, pfSense, OpenWrt, Proxmox, Linux, Ubuntu, Debian, ESXi, Windows, and other compatible x86 operating systems. Its six network interfaces make it suitable for firewall routing, VLAN segmentation, Multi-WAN, VPN gateways, virtualized network services, and compact home lab deployments.

Firewall & Routing Deploy OPNsense, pfSense, OpenWrt, Multi-WAN, VPN gateways, and VLAN routing.
Compact Home Lab Run virtual firewalls, containers, lightweight servers, and network services where installation space is limited.
Small Network Separate NAS systems, access points, cameras, office devices, guests, and IoT equipment.

Front and Rear I/O Connectivity

The F7 provides front and rear interfaces for networking, local system installation, display output, USB peripherals, storage access, and power. Six Intel i226-V 2.5GbE LAN ports remain the core of its firewall and routing connectivity despite the smaller chassis.
