We’re taking a closer look at the licensing mechanisms of Zyxel Nebula.
Nebula Control Center is a Zyxel cloud platform for managing network infrastructure, combining access points, switches, and firewalls under a single panel, regardless of where the offices or facilities are physically located. The administrator configures and monitors devices via a web interface or mobile app, and the management logic itself — from applying settings to collecting statistics — is executed in the Zyxel cloud, not on a local controller.
Why Nebula uses a multi-level license ...
Setting up Tailscale on the Zyxel USG Flex 500H gateway
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 ...
Zyxel WBE530 review: access point with 3 radio modules
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 ...
Setting up protection against IT attacks in the enterprise using Zyxel equipment
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. ...
Testing the features of the L3 PoE switch IP-Com G5328P-24-410w
This is a 28-port switch, in which 4 ports are gigabit optics for Uplink, and the remaining 24 ports are 1-gigabit RJ45 PoE with a total power budget of 370 watts, and each of these ports can work both in 802.3af mode (up to 15.4 watts) and and in the mode 802.at (up to 30 watts). When integrating into the project, some features of this switch should be taken into account.
Level 3 switches with PoE support are usually used to build enterprise Wi-Fi networks and video surveillance systems. And ...
Stacking of Zyxel XGS2220 series switches: testing features
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 ...

Zyxel XGS2220-30HP - L3 Access switch for modern converged networks
This L3 layer switch has 4 x 10-Gigabit SFP+ slots, 1-Gigabit PoE+ ports for the main fleet of devices, NVR/VoIP optimized interface, support for Nebula cloud service and multi-Gigabit PoE+ ports for Wi-Fi 6 access points. That is, Zyxel has added a maximum of functions to make it the most versatile.
In the Zyxel hierarchy, the XGS2220 series refers to access switches, that is, to the lowest level that serves end devices and access points. We are used to the fact that cheap maintenance-free ...
We explore Zyxel Connect & Protect and answer the main questions: is it possible to do without a security gateway?
From the point of view of the network, a modern facility can be just one access point connected directly to the WAN from the provider, and there are enough resources on this access point to raise the VPN tunnel to the headquarters, and for NAT, and to configure restrictions for customers and for basic protection of customers and employees.
No, but really, why should an expensive security gateway be built on a small facility where the network infrastructure is completely wireless? Modern ...
