The router you've been waiting for

Consumer routers are too simple. Enterprise gear is too complex. The Imperium Gate 1 sits in the middle — giving you genuine network control without a networking degree.

Built on OPNsense (the open-source firewall trusted by security professionals worldwide), the Gate 1 wraps that power in a clean, modern interface. Set up guest networks, firewall rules, VLANs, and traffic shaping — all without touching a command line.

Hardware built for the job

The Gate 1 runs on the Intel Celeron Elkhart Lake platform: an energy-efficient, fanless-capable processor with enough headroom to handle gigabit routing, active firewall inspection, and VPN workloads at the same time. Five Intel i226-V 2.5G Ethernet ports with hardware offloading mean the CPU isn't doing the heavy lifting on every packet — your traffic moves fast, and stays fast.

5× Intel i226-V 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet (WAN + 4× LAN)

Wi-Fi 6 via Intel AX200/AX210 (card included)

Up to 64GB DDR4 RAM / M.2 NVMe + dual SATA storage

Fully fanless passive cooling — completely silent, 10W TDP

Aluminum alloy chassis — desktop or wall-mountable

Developer Mode — because you shouldn't be locked out

One toggle in Settings drops you straight into the full OPNsense dashboard. No workarounds. No restrictions. Power users get everything they expect; everyone else gets a clean interface that stays out of the way.

Part of the Imperium ecosystem

The Gate 1 is designed to work alongside the Imperium Firewall 1, Imperium Cloud remote management, and Imperium Tunnel — our CGNAT bypass service that gives you a public endpoint even without a static IP.

Add the Firewall 1 and the two devices communicate automatically: the Gate 1 detects it, guides you through the secure topology, and locks down unused ports. No configuration headaches. No other consumer product does this.

This is the Founder's Edition

You're buying early. That means direct access to the team, your feedback shaping the roadmap, and the best price this product will ever have. Limited to the first production batch — once they're gone, the next version costs more.
