The Sophos XGS 136w, with integrated Wi-Fi, is designed for medium-sized businesses and can typically support 300-500 users under standard usage conditions. It has the processing power and capacity to handle moderate to high traffic loads, but the actual number of supported users will depend on:
- Network Demand: Bandwidth-intensive applications (like video streaming, large file transfers, and cloud services) can reduce the user capacity.
- Security Features in Use: Enabling features such as SSL/TLS inspection, advanced threat protection, and intrusion prevention requires additional resources, potentially lowering the effective user count.
- Wi-Fi Load: With built-in Wi-Fi, the device can manage wireless clients, which is convenient but also adds processing demand, particularly if many users connect via Wi-Fi.
