We are considering purchasing a Sophos XGS 116W for a new location.
We want to use the firewall to protect 2 network segments and a wireless network segment.
We do not want any of these three networks segments to be able to see the other segments. They should be completely separate. For example, we don't want someone using our wireless segment to be able to get into our private operations segment.
Can the Sophos XGS 116W be configured in this way?
We currently have a SG 135 at another location and when we first got the device, we were told it could be setup similarly, but when we set up the separate network segments, it cut the throughput of the device by more than half. Eventually we were told by support that you could not set it up that way.
Because the device has several ports, it seems that it should be obvious that you could set up different network segments, but after our last experience, we are not so confident.
So, we are just looking for some confirmation that if we get the XGS 116W that we could set up three completely separate network segments (two wired and one wireless) and that it would not significantly affect throughput.
Thanks in advance for your help clarifying this issue.
