FAQs for XGS 88
Q: Is the Sophos XGS 88 a good firewall for a home office?
A: Yes, the XGS 88 is an excellent choice for home offices or very small businesses that need enterprise-grade security and a silent, fanless desktop appliance.
Q: Does this bundle include the wireless (Wi-Fi) model?
A: This product is the base XGS 88 (wired-only) model. The wireless-enabled version is sold as the XGS 88w, which we also carry.
Q: What is the difference between the Xstream Protection bundle and the Standard Protection bundle?
A: Xstream Protection (included in this bundle) is the all-in-one, top-tier bundle. The "Standard Protection" bundle is a more basic package that does not include Zero-Day Protection (Sandstorm) or Central SD-WAN Orchestration. We highly recommend the Xstream Protection bundle for complete security.
