Cabling the SOHO 6 Wireless for more than four
appliances
Although the SOHO 6 Wireless has only four numbered Ethernet
ports (labeled 0-3), you can connect more than four appliances. Use
one or more network hubs to make more connections.
The base model SOHO 6 Wireless includes a ten-seat license. This
license allows a maximum of ten appliances on the trusted
network to connect to the Internet at the same time. There can be
more than ten appliances on the trusted network, but the SOHO 6
Wireless will only allow ten Internet connections. A seat is in use
when an appliance connects to the Internet and is free when the
connection is broken. License upgrades are available from the
WatchGuard Web site:
