We have a TZ205 at the moment that is our dhcp server, router and firewall and WiFi access.

Support for it has ended so I am looking at something to replace it, are there any similar products that are designed for small offices that are easily configured?

We have 5 users, a Small Business server that acts as a file store (all of our applications are hosted in the cloud).

I've looked at a fortigate 60d, any other recommendations?

Any reason you went with a Sonicwall in the first place and now looking at fortigate?

For 5 users, any home (e.g. Asus/Netgear) or small business router (e.g. Draytek) will do everything you have mentioned DHCP/Router/Firewall/Wifi.

Another option could be a Ubiquiti Edgerouter, and a separate Unifi Wireless Access point.

Just depends what you budget is, and what your reasoning is for needing an enterprise product.
 
Don't really know why we need an enterprise product, when we initially set our server/networking system up thats what was installed by a 3rd party company. We had a sbs running sql databases and all sorts of other lark which is now all hosted in the cloud.

We have internet filtering on the sonicwall of harmful/unwanted sites which is kind of ideal for us, also it has AV protection. I don't think home routers offer this?
 
How often are making configuration changes? NAT rules and the like can look very complicated if you're working with them often but they shouldn't need constant adjustment for a small business.
