Perfect for solo professionals and micro-offices, the T115-W offers robust protection and performance designed for low-traffic environments. As the most cost-effective option in its category, it includes all essential security features, along with secure boot and an ultra-quiet fan, making it ideal for silent, space-constrained setups. Built for tomorrow’s IT needs, these appliances are ideal for businesses maintaining on-premises environments, transitioning to the cloud, or operating in a mix of both. This generation’s main improvements include enhanced VPN and UTM performance to help alleviate common business challenges like sluggish network speeds, which often affect remote and hybrid work connectivity.

Key differentiators are introduced at both ends of the series. At the top end, the Firebox T185 offers outstanding performance for its category, validated through testing based on the NetSecOPEN standardized methodology. At the entry-level, the Firebox T115-W combines Wi-Fi 7 and 4GB of RAM ‒ a rare feature at this price point ‒ helping to reduce performance bottlenecks at higher bandwidths. Together, these enhancements ensure that every tabletop model can smoothly run the full suite of WatchGuard security services.

“We worked closely with our MSP community to build these next-gen tabletop appliances for the real-world needs of mid-market organizations,” said vice president of network security at WatchGuard. “We’re combining the increasing value of our founding product, the Firebox, with ongoing platform advancements, like AI-driven XDR, to ensure that partners and their customers can operate in a faster, more connected world. It’s stronger security, simple management, and zero surprises, all packaged in a powerful red box.”
