In addition, for Sophos firewall questions, this isn't the best forum. XG's setup can be a bit more confusing, compared to UTM, but once you figure out how things work, I find it's a lot more flexible with the firewall and filtering rules. but I find McAfee is a bit more aggressive with labelling sites as malicious and gives more false positives. UTM uses McAfee TrustedSource database for website categorization/filtering, which has a lot more filtering categories than XG (which uses Sophos web filtering database) and is more accurate with site categorization. UTM has a lot of features that haven't been migrated to the XG platform yet but home users will not use most of those. I've had to put in a lot of exclusions in UTM to prevent issues with playing videos. If you're planning on doing SSL scanning/decryption, XG's SFOS version 17 (which came out only a couple of weeks ago) does a better job handling streaming video than the UTM. Since you're new to this, I would suggest trying the Sophos XG firewall platform instead of UTM. I suggest you do your initial setup without the ASUS router connected. Here are some easy to follow instructions that I've used in the past to set it up: If I recall correctly, on UTM 9.x, pinging the gateway is turned off by default. I hope explained this clearly if you need anymore information please feel free to ask. My goal if possible is to have the network like this modem-> Dell (utm)->Asus ac87u. I am very new to this and I am obviously still learning. Do I need to go in change setting on the Asus ac87u before accessing the Webadmin interface? Before installing the UTM all Ethernet ports did work with Windows 7 professional. I have tried hooking up to the Asus ac87u and also hooking it up directly to my laptop and still nothing. I can not find the Webadmin interface on my network. For some reason I can not ping the IP that the UTM tells me to. I installed the latest version UTM v9 software appliance on the Dell (file name:asg-9505-4.1iso) I kept all the setting the same during the install. So far my home network consist of an Asus ac87u on a gigabit cable connection. I will provide a link to the network card below. The specs on the dell, intel i5 2500, 8 gigs of ddr3 ram, on board intel nic and I also bought an Intel pro/1000 pt dual port server adapter off of Amazon. I bought an old lab computer that is a Dell Optiplex 990.
