Your firewall is either choking your 2.5GbE links or drawing more power than it should. The Sophos XGS 88 sorts both.
Second-generation XGS architecture. Single-CPU design with virtual FastPath traffic acceleration (requires Sophos Firewall OS v21 or higher). You get 9,900 Mbps firewall throughput and 6,000 Mbps IPsec VPN without a second box in the rack.
Four fixed 2.5GbE copper ports. Traffic flows clean from firewall to switch to your Wi-Fi 6 AP — no bottleneck at the edge. Power draw is half what first-gen XGS units pull.
Manage over COM RJ45 or Micro-USB. Front USB 2.0 for quick config, rear USB 3.0 for logging. No expansion slots, no modular bays. Desktop form factor. Plug in, configure, done.
Call us before you order if you want a second pair of eyes on the spec — we've deployed XGS units for everything from a two-descriptor office to a 40-seat fit-out
