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.

Zyxel CX4800-56f review: 100G Switch with high redundancy

The Zyxel CX4800-56F is a high-density L3 aggregation optical switch in which the company pioneered the use of 100G ports: 8 QSFP28 100GbE uplinks complement 48 SFP+/SFP28 slots with 10/25gbe support, forming a single 56-port stack for traffic aggregation in campus and data centers factories. With a pass-through switching matrix of up to 4 Tbit/s and forwarding speeds of up to 2 billion packets per second, this switch confidently closes scenarios of highly loaded highways, where not only ...

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 ...

Exploring the features of the Zyxel XMG1915-18EP, a 2.5-Gigabit PoE switch with a basic L3

We have a rather interesting class of L3 switches in front of us: multi-gigabit PoE models with a relatively small number of ports, an average PoE budget by modern standards, but 10-gigabit uplinks. They are interesting because the manufacturer has placed 2.5G PoE + 10G in a compact 9-inch rack housing with a silent fan, and such a switch can be installed at home, in a 1-room office, under a false ceiling or in narrow telecommunication cabinets. We have a rather interesting class of L3 ...

The differences between expensive Ethernet switches and cheap ones using the example of Zyxel

We will take two switches: the Taiwanese brand Zyxel and the Chinese counterpart from a little-known manufacturer and look at the design differences and what they affect in order to answer the question - does it make sense to overpay for design features? It's no secret that almost all modern electronics are manufactured in China, even if they are developed in the USA, Europe, Japan or Taiwan – the Chinese have not only learned how to do things efficiently, but have also grown such IT giants ...

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 ...
