Is it possible to install XG firewall Home on an XG 105 hardware?

MKR74,

this is something not possible yet. Planned:

You need a XG 230. Use real world scenario datasheet:

Hi Luk,

Thanks for the fast reply, I really appreciate it!

Unfortunately, the reply on the idea says "what we will do: Allow XG software installer to run on XG hardware appliances, after removing current partitions (same option as UTM9)"

Doesnt this mean that installation of the software XG on a XG105 with a wiped harddisk should be already possible?

MKR74,

wait for the feature otherwise you will have issue during Firmware upgrade.

It is possible.  Wipe the disk and you can run the software installer.  To get it back to a hardware install, just re-run the hardware installer.

I've been running on home on my XG105 for well over a year.  No issues with updates, etc.  Works great.  I don't use AV though, so I can't comment on what speeds are possible.

I can turn all the services on and see what I get if you are interested.  

Thanks Axsom1 for letting us know. I did not know this was possible already. I tried with v16 (first release) and I did not work.

Maybe with some MR they remove the limitation.

A blank disk wouldn't do it for me, I had to partition the disk with some sort of file system before I could get it to work.

I will run through it again today if I have some time and post my steps.
