The XGS 88 and XGS 88w share the same hardware and the same 9.9 Gbps firewall throughput. The 88w adds a built-in Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) wireless controller with two external antennas, so you get access point coverage without adding a separate device. If you don't need onboard Wi-Fi, the standard XGS 88 saves you a little on cost.

Xstream Protection bundles the XGS 88 hardware with Network Protection, Web Protection, Zero-Day Protection, Central Orchestration, and DNS Protection under one license, plus Enhanced Support. That covers TLS 1.3 inspection, IPS, AI-driven sandboxing, and full reporting, all managed from Sophos Central. If you'd rather build your own stack, Standard Protection and individual modules are available too. Talk to a Sophos-certified expert if you want help comparing them.

We stock the Sophos XGS 88 and XGS 88w and ship same day on orders placed by 3pm EST. Sophos Central also supports zero-touch deployment, so once the appliance arrives at a remote site, you can configure it from the cloud without plugging in a USB drive.

Yes. We're an authorized Sophos reseller staffed by Sophos-certified sales engineers, so every XGS 88 we sell comes with a valid factory warranty and direct access to licensing and support. Have a sizing or licensing question before you order? Talk to a Sophos-certified expert first.

For a small office, retail location, or branch with a handful of users, yes. The XGS 88 handles 9.9 Gbps of firewall throughput and 1.6 million concurrent connections in a fanless, silent box. One thing to know: the XGS 88 doesn't support on-box reporting, dual AV scanning, or the email message transfer agent feature. If you need those, step up to the XGS 108.
