Tailscale can now be centrally deployed on the security gateway. We'll tell you how to deploy Tailscale and Headscale on the Zyxel USG Flex500, cross internal networks, organize an exit node, and use unique features, from publishing local services to mesh routing via NAT and firewall. Medium-sized offices and home labs require a flexible solution that allows users to securely connect to a corporate or private network from anywhere in the world. One of the most convenient tools for this is ...

The total bandwidth of the ZyXEL WBE530 is 10.8 GBps, but it is clear that it is achieved in ideal conditions when some customers "do not enter the wire", but exchange traffic via Wi-Fi. The access point has two 2.5 Gbit/s network interfaces, PoE power supply with up to 21 watts and 3 radio modules with 6 streams (2x2 for 2.4 GHz, 2x2 for 5 GHz and 2x2 for 6 GHz bands), channel widths of 160 and 320 MHz for 5 and 6 GHz bands are supported.> We continue to get acquainted with the ...

A typical IoT attack looks like this: the device connects to a malicious Internet resource directly or through its own VPN, downloads and installs malicious code on itself, after which it begins to be either part of a large bot farm for attacks on third-party resources and use as a resident proxy, or simply spies on your network, trying to intercept anythat data, pull information from open resources or harm in any other way. It is not difficult to protect your network from possible IoT attacks. ...

The free and open source software market has made a tremendous leap forward in recent years, so today thousands of companies are using FOSS instead of public clouds. You don't have to buy a huge server to run your micro-cloud, you can set up a lot even on a desktop NAS. Since about 2015, in our NAS reviews, we have focused on the fact that a modern file server for a small company is primarily the services it provides: advanced collaboration functions, file sharing via the Internet, video ...

Switch stacking technology allows you to combine several physical switches into one virtual switch, combining their switching matrices and simplifying port management from a single stack web interface. One of the most popular functions of the stack is to combine ports from different switches into common lagging groups to get a fault-tolerant network that can withstand the breakdown of N-(N-1) switches. I want to draw attention to the fact that modern Zyxel combines support the connection of up ...

This model shows that even a small 2-disk desktop NAS can pleasantly surprise with storage capabilities: up to 4 NVME SSDs and up to 16 hard drives when using cards and expansion shelves. The ability to configure layer-by-layer storage and run applications in containers in a compartment with a 2.5-gigabit network makes it an excellent choice for a modern office with remote access and Wi-Fi 6. I already described the concept of a modern office in which all employees work remotely and only ...

What will happen to your network if the Iron Curtain suddenly falls, and the Global Internet turns into something sovereign and all cross-border channels are blocked? Let's simulate this situation and tell you how to unsign the device from Nebula without Internet access. We have reviewed the Nebula Control Center management system from Zyxel many times. This is a cloud service that allows you to configure and monitor the company's network stack via the Internet, including setting up Wi-Fi, ...

Does beamforming technology replace expensive Smart antennas with switchable diagram or adaptive array? Let's answer this question by testing various Zyxel Wi-Fi 6 access points. How does Beamforming work in general Beamforming technology is the most frequently used function in the new generation of intelligent antennas at Wi-Fi access points 6. The essence of Beamforming technology is that an array of antennas is used to “control” or transmit radio signals in a certain direction, and not ...

A simple inexpensive NAS that has Plex, Owncloud, Nextcloud services, supports Docker, cloud management and its own backup system for Windows and Linux clients. It can work absolutely silently by turning off its fan. Terra Master is a relatively new brand in the market of data storage systems for home and small businesses. The company started its journey in 2014, and unlike most of its rivals, it did not focus only on NAS, but immediately offered models and DAS families with a Thunderbolt ...

Today we are considering a budget Wi-FI 6 standard access point for outdoor performance. This model is considered as a building block for building Mesh networks or as an opportunity to expand the coverage of existing Wi-Fi 6 on an area without any increased performance or range requirements, but with management through the Nebula cloud system. The NWA55AXE model implements the 2x2 antenna formula, so the maximum speed by the standards of the 802.11ac standard is low - 1200 Mbit/s in the 5 GHz ...
