WatchGuard Firebox T25-W is a compact hardware firewall designed for small offices and home-office environments. It provides unified threat management and can be deployed as a stand-alone firewall or as a VPN gateway for centralized traffic inspection. The device offers up to 3.14 Gbit/s firewall throughput and supports Wi‑Fi 6 (802.11ax) in the wireless model, enabling faster wireless connections and improved range.

Advantages

Firebox T25-W enables centralized policy enforcement across distributed sites and remote workers while simplifying deployment with cloud-based zero-touch provisioning. The appliance supports modern secure access methods including AuthPoint MFA integration without the need for RADIUS setup, and includes built-in SD‑WAN capabilities to optimize performance and reduce reliance on costly links. Comprehensive logging and reporting are included with the product.

Suitable for

• Small offices and home office (SOHO) networks
• Branch and remote-site VPN gateways
• Networks requiring secure wireless connectivity with Wi‑Fi 6
• Environments needing centralized policy and UTM protection for remote users

How to use

Connect the Firebox T25-W to your LAN and WAN using the Gigabit Ethernet ports and, if applicable, enable the wireless radio for Wi‑Fi 6 access. Configure the device using WatchGuard Cloud or the local management interface; for remote deployments you can prepare a configuration in the Cloud and ship the device to a site for zero‑touch provisioning. Set up VPN, policies, SD‑WAN rules and authentication (including AuthPoint MFA) according to your security requirements.

Usage recommendations

Place the appliance in a ventilated location with easy cable access; keep firmware and security subscriptions up to date, and use the cloud-based deployment for remote sites to reduce on-site setup. For best wireless performance, position the unit centrally in the coverage area and separate guest traffic using the built-in guest network.
