How to upgrade Cyberoam CR100ing to SFOS XG home edition in 2023?

hi
I have a Cyberoam CR100ing firewall (1.6.3 MR-4) in my hands that I got from my previous job and I plan to install the new Sophos XG home edition OS on it since it is the most compatible with the hardware today. What happens is that the Cyberoam cr100ing ended its life cycle years ago, so apparently it is impossible to update its firmware with the official Cyberoam website, which does not exist today. There is another method that I found, which is to update it via USB with a cable. console using Putty, I have found a tutorial to do it by that means where it starts via serial cable and with a speed of 38400 but even so the OS remains halfway loaded to load the image in rufus to the USB with DD image type .

What other solution can I give to update Cyberoam and have my own homemade firewall?

Hi, the current versions of XG will not work with 2gb of ram, you need a minimum of 4gb. Ian

Hi Megalit23,

Thank you for reaching out to Sophos Community.

Kindly input https://172.16.16.16:4444

Kindly include port 4444 to test. Also, are your workstations on the same network?

Hi Megali23,

Is your workstation in the same network as 172.16.16.0/24?

If you are connected to port 1 you should receive an ip address, usually 172.16.16.17. Login using https://172.16.16.16:4444.

now i have other problem

Now the problem is that I have contracted a 1GB internet service but when I test it with speedtest it shows me that it has 400mbps download and upload when without connecting my PC to the Sophos LAN it would normally be giving me 940mbps download

outside Sophos network

inside Sophos network

It has reduced 50% of the network speed that I have contracted, how do I solve that?

Hi,

have you disabled all the settings in the DOS tab?

Ian

Also you might have hit th limit of the CPU, please check the diagnostic settings to see LOAD and CPU usage when trying your download test.

Ian

Extra info ; I checked the specifications of the cr100 and the maximum throughput appears to be 750mb/s in a test situation, in reality with other features in the mix what you are seeing in your current test is probably the maximum you will get with more functions enabled.

I am still of option that the performance is a limitation of the CR100.
