The model range of Zyxel Wi-Fi 7 access points

The right access point today is chosen not by the maximum "speed on the box", but by a set of quite mundane parameters: how many bands are actually used, is there 6GHz, how many spatial streams does the radio frequency give, which uplink is on the wired side, is PoE supported, is there a second Ethernet port, can the device works as a bridge, whether it supports mesh, how exactly it can be controlled and in which case it is made. This is especially important for Zyxel, because the Wi‑ ...

Review of the Zyxel IAP500BE Secure Access Point

The Zyxel IAP500BE is a Wi‑Fi 7 industrial access point that focuses not so much on a typical office scenario as on working in a technically complex environment where stability, fault tolerance, and predictable hardware behavior come to the fore.

Configuring Zabbix for monitoring access points and Keenetic routers

If your company uses Zabbix for infrastructure monitoring, you can integrate Keenetic routers and access points into this platform by following our instructions. This greatly facilitates network maintenance and incident investigation. In all cases when I came across the use of Keenetic in business, none of the owners set up means of active monitoring of these devices, even if there were two or three dozen access points. There can be many reasons for this, ranging from banal laziness and lack ...

Zyxel NWA50BE Review - Inexpensive 2.5G PoE model for Wi-Fi 7

This is a Wi-Fi 7 model with a simplified radio part with a 2x2:2 antenna formula and a channel width of up to 240 MHz, which gives an overall air speed of up to 5.1 Gbit/s. With a 2.5-gigabit network port, the access point can easily handle such complex tasks as backup of client laptops, synchronization of media archives, streaming video in any resolution, and in general, everything that requires the transmission of large amounts of data "over the air" is not very demanding of delays ...

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 ...

Review of the Zyxel NWA210BE Access Point: Wi-Fi 7 model for high density spaces

The NWA210BE model is a model of the Wi-Fi 7 standard in the medium price range, it has 2 radio modules with formulas 2x2:2 for 2.4GHz and 4x4:4 for 5 and 6 GHz. The 5 and 6 Hz ranges are controlled by a single BandFlex radio module, so only one of them can operate at a time. The NWA210BE supports a channel width of 320 MHz, which allows for high point-to-point speeds, which may be in demand when building wireless bridges or connecting high-resolution NVR cameras. The new Wi-Fi 7 standard ...

Let's explore the features of Zyxel XMG1930-30HP, a switch with 2.5G/10G PoE ports and licensed L3 functions

Zyxel reasoned this way: if the L3 functionality is already determined only by the firmware, 99% choose an access switch for the sake of port density, PoE, VLAN, Multicast, and less often for static routing, then here's the base model XMG1930, which is generally L2, but slightly L3. And if your network requires advanced L3 functions, then all this is also there, just buy the appropriate license and get the core-level functionality. You can do this at any time, even when buying a device, even ...

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 ...
