Setting up XG on laptop, recommendations for ExpressCard/34 NIC?

David Whelan

Hi!

I'm wanting to setup Sophos XG Home edition on an old IBM ThinkPad T510 i5 8GB RAM laptop.  It only has one NIC but does have an ExpressCard/34 slot.  I need a second NIC, so is there a specific brand & model known to be compatible with Sophos XG, that provides good performance? 

Thanks!

David

    Hello David,

    Sophos Home XG would not detect any USB drives as a potential NIC. That is the reason we would recommend to use an old desktop and add an additional NIC card. The Laptop would have one ethernet LAN card which not detect another LAN and the installation might fail or its functionality.
