Question

Which FW to load 5.4.8 or 5.6.3

I have a site where my 90D running 5.4 could not keep up with UTM throughput, so I purchased a FGT-101E to replace it.

This site has about 100 users and a 30MB WAN connection. This box will be using full UTM features, but no VPN, dynamic routing, or any other special features. Single VDOM.

 

I'm leaning towards giving 5.6 a shot.  I don't see anything in the release notes that gives me heartburn.

Is it ready for production? or should I stick with 5.4 for now?

    I have several 101E with 5.6.2 and 5.6.3 running without any problems. I would go with 5.6.x with new installations.
