Description

The Sophos XGS 88w is a 2nd Generation security powerhouse that combines high-speed wireless connectivity with enterprise-grade threat protection. Engineered with a redesigned, power-efficient architecture, it delivers a massive 9.9 Gbps of firewall throughput. This model is specifically designed for small businesses (1–10 users) and high-end home offices that require Multi-Gigabit speeds and the latest wireless standards in a single, silent device.

The XGS 88w features integrated Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), providing significantly better performance and capacity in crowded environments compared to previous generations. With 4 x 2.5 GbE copper ports, it ensures that your wired network can fully leverage high-speed ISP connections. Like all XGS Gen 2 models, it includes Xstream virtual FastPath acceleration (via SFOS v21) to ensure ultra-low latency for critical cloud applications like Microsoft 365 and Zoom.

Gen 2 Hardware & Wireless Advantages

• Integrated Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax): Supports concurrent 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands with 2×2 MIMO. This provides faster wireless speeds (up to 1.2 Gbps on the 5 GHz band) and better handling of multiple connected devices.

• Multi-Gigabit Wired Speed: Every physical port on the device is a 2.5 GbE interface, future-proofing your network for the next generation of high-speed switches and devices.
