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

Rosen Georgiev

Hello All,

I'm using Sophos XG Home as virtual mashine and it is great.

Curretly i want to swith form cable ISP to 5g mobile ISP and looking for oprions to keep Sophos XG.

It will be great if someone can recomend some mini pc which is capable to run it and have 5G modem with SIM slot?

Thanks in advance.

    So deccision is hard and i also cannot find enoght info what hardware is sypported by XG Firewall.

    It seem some intel cards are unsuported i219 and i225.

    minipce 5g modems also ara not clear. In genral 5G Cellular is no whidely used. 4G LTE is up to 300Mbtis and i do not want to invest there.

    My setup is Hyper-VM with Sophos XG 4 cores and 6GB RAM and it is working since years but i want to move it to dedicated mini PC which is not big issue.

    I want to avoid buing expensive 5g router like MikroTik Chateau 5G ax (S53UG+M-5HaxD2HaxD-TC&RG502Q-EA) to use it only as bridge to Sophos XG

    This means 400 EUR for mini PC and 600 EUR for Mikrotik.

    It will be better if i can setup mini PC with 5G sim, but compatibility is not clear. I will not invest in true or false , just to check if it will work.

    That is why i ask the forum is somene is alredy build someting similar or is aware which 5g domules are suported internaly. 

    The other option is mikrotik 5g router and to keep sophos as VM and route only web servers via Sophos and the rest via mikrotik, but again too complicated.

    Hi,'

    there are plenty of mini boxes available that work with XG, some have internal 5g modems, but I am not sure if they are supported.

    There are suppliers in Europe and China who manufacture and supply boxes with user selectable functions.
