Flagship of the trio: eight Atom C3758R cores, two 10-Gigabit SFP+ ports, two combo 1GbE ports and four 2.5GbE ports back a 16GB RAM budget for pfSense Plus, well ahead of the 4100/6100 in throughput. Netgate's official initial-configuration guide lists the same factory credential as the rest of the line — admin/pfsense — with pfSense Plus 24.03+ requiring an immediate change.
Factory reset
Restore factory settings via the console/serial boot menu (option 4) or Diagnostics > Factory Defaults inside pfSense; the LAN side comes back up at 192.168.1.1 for the admin/pfsense login.
