FAQs for XGS 116
Q: Who is the XGS 116 designed for?
A: The XGS 116 is designed for growing small businesses and branch offices that have higher internet speeds or more users than an entry-level model can support. It's typically recommended for environments with 25-75 users.
Q: Does this bundle include the wireless (Wi-Fi) model?
A: This product is the base XGS 116 (wired-only) model. The wireless-enabled version is sold as the XGS 116w, which we also carry.
Q: What is the difference between the Xstream Protection bundle and the Standard Protection bundle?
A: Xstream Protection (included in this bundle) is the all-in-one, top-tier bundle. The "Standard Protection" bundle is a more basic package that does not include Zero-Day Protection (Sandstorm) or Central SD-WAN Orchestration. We highly recommend the Xstream Protection bundle for complete security.
