XGS 88w firewall appliance with Wi-Fi 6

The Sophos XGS 88w is a desktop or rack-mountable firewall appliance built for small offices and branch sites that need wired and wireless security in one box. It combines an Intel x86 processor with 4 GB LPDDR5 memory and 16 GB eMMC storage, delivering integrated threat protection without a separate access point.

9.67 Gbit/s firewall throughput

Four 2.5 GBase-T RJ-45 ports provide high-speed LAN connectivity while the appliance pushes up to 9 900 Mbps firewall throughput and 6 500 Mbps IMIX. TLS 1.3 inspection caps at 600 Mbps, and threat protection, IPS and NGFW each run at 2 000 Mbps, so encrypted traffic inspection becomes the practical bottleneck.

Fanless design for silent operation

The unit operates without fans, making it suitable for noise-sensitive environments such as open-plan offices or reception areas. Power consumption is reduced by roughly 50 % compared with previous architectures, and the compact 200 x 180 x 44 mm chassis weighs 1.4 kg, fitting easily on a shelf or in a rack.

Questions about this item

Will the four 2.5 GBase-T ports on the XGS 88w connect directly to my existing Gigabit switches without extra configuration?

Yes, each RJ-45 port supports 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet and auto-negotiates down to Gigabit or Fast Ethernet speeds, so your current switches will link up immediately.

How can I verify the TLS 1.3 inspection throughput of 600 Mbps is active after deployment?

Log into the Sophos Central dashboard or the local web admin, open the live throughput graphs, and confirm the TLS inspection line shows traffic near 600 Mbps under load.

Does the box include rack-mount brackets or only the desktop feet?

The appliance ships with desktop feet installed; rack-mount brackets are a separate accessory and are not included in the package.
