Recomendations for Sophos XG 19 mini PC firewall build with 5G mobile SIM

Hi,

are you planning to use an internal 5G modem or a seperate modem connected via usb? You will need to check 5G modem hardware comparability.

I prefer internal 5G modem and 4 gigabit lan ports. 5G modem hardware comparability is not clear. Where can find such list of supported 5G modems?

Hi,

I can't help you there and would recommend for compatibility to use an external modem with an ethernet interface to overcome USB driver issues. Also an external modem allows you to place it in the best signal strength location which is not always the best place for the XG hardware and connections.

As Ian said, to avoid issues with USB devices - get an external modem / router and set it to bridge mode.
I bought an used Sophos appliance (in my case it was a SG 210) and run Sophos XG Home on it (with modem in brigde mode). Maybe get a smaller form factor appliance?
In case of a Sophos appliance you have first to wipe the whole disk and use the software installer afterwards to install the home edition.
