I just downloaded the "WatchGuard Firebox SOHO 6 Wireless
User Guide" for firmware version 6.3. It says nothing about
WPA, 802.1x, or 802.11g.

It also says nothing at all about filtering packet content on
port 80, which some people seem to think is important. :-)
It does have a fairly versatile database program to block
selected URLs accessing port 80, presumably based on content
known to exist at specific sites.

Two other problems that I would find "enough reason" are that it
has no shell access for command line advanced configuration
beyond what is available via the web server; and it does not
allow reconfiguring the VLAN and Ethernet Bridge.

It does apparently do dynamic routing though, which I listed as
"no" in the specs.

Can you imagine paying $500 for that!??
