Hi Alexandre, 
 I have reviewed the hardware specifications for the SG105w rev 3 and they are the same as the XG105w. 
 What I am not clear on is the WIFI capabilities.

Hi, 
 i have tested this with an SG105w and a 4GB RAM Module. 
 YES, you can install XG Home at the SG105w rev 3. 
 You NEED to wipe the SSD inside. I recommend , Darik&rsquo;s Boot and Nuke . Or you could just boot a Ubuntu and install a Server Edition (this will wipe the disk). 
 Then you can install with an external DVD drive, after a while you will a have XG Home installed. 
 BUT, you will never get WiFi working with XG Home. 
 Sophos limited the XG Home Linux System and removed the WiFi Drivers. 
 If you install UTM Home, WiFi will would (havent tried latest release)! 
 I even installed XG appliance in a Virtual Box and emulated the SG105W Hardware (BIOS, MAC, Vendor ID, etc...) 
 Inside this XG (Virtual Box) all WiFi Drivers where loaded, but the Virtual Box NIC&acute;s aren&acute;t support at all and Virtual Box has nos WiFi Drivers.
