Honestly this is too hard for me!

Sophosness

I have been using most basic functions of Sophos Firewall and so far I have been lucky that I do not have any issues with updating firmwares. I would not have the capacity or ability to troubleshoot should anything went wrong. So I have decided to retire the SG115Rev2 in favour of a simple home router. But before I do that, does anyone know if I can install a simple software in SG115Rev2 that will be similar to a home router?

    Hi,

    you mean delete the sophos XG software? Why not just buy a cheaper modem/router and be done with it? So, you don’t perceive any security issues with your home network dropping to a simple firewall?

    I already have 2 simple home wireless routers that I put away when I started with this SF. But I am quiet keen to repurpose the SG115Rev2 hardware hence my question.

    Installing a 3rd party software on the sophos hardware will require you to learn a new product, configure it and do software updates to the included firmware packages just like XG. You can and if you go down that path I suggest you change the hard drive.
