Review of the Zyxel WAX630S access point and the XGS1250-12 switch: an inexpensive tandem for Wi-Fi 6 and a multi-gigabit LAN
If you choose an access point for rooms with high traffic, for example, for restaurants, halls of business centers or for conference halls, then you most likely need a model with Wi-Fi 6 support and a total bandwidth above 2Gbps. As a rule, such devices have a price of about $1000, and their characteristics exceed the requirements of a typical customer.
If you choose an access point for rooms with high traffic, for example, for restaurants, halls of business centers or for conference halls, ...
What's new in Wi-Fi 7
Wi-Fi 7 increases the maximum channel size from 160 MHz to 320 MHz, which immediately doubles the bandwidth to a fantastic 46 Gbps. The Wi-Fi 7 standard can also work either on two sets of channels with a width of 160 MHz, or on one channel with a width of 320 MHz, it is also possible to work with several access points at the same time.
Wi-Fi 7 or 802.11be is the next Wi-Fi standard that the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is working on, which promises to raise the ...
Overview of the capabilities of the IP-COM ProFi controller for wireless networks
In the IP-COM company's model range, a separate direction has been allocated for equipment controlled by centralized ProFi software. Today, even in small projects, it is important to be able to make friends with the switch with access points not only at the network level, but also in a visual editor, placing the devices on the floor map in order to track statistics from one window, update firmware, decommission and change devices without disrupting the network. Currently, these capabilities make ...
Zyxel NWA55AXE - outdoor Wi-Fi access point 6, which is so convenient to build bridges
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 ...
Review of Huawei AirEngine 8760 RX1 and AirEngine 6760R-51 external access points
Huawei has in its lineup a full range of equipment for the implementation of high-performance public Wi-Fi for places with a high density of devices and harsh operating conditions. Today we have top-end devices for outdoor installation that have an extended temperature range of operation, a dust- and moisture-proof housing, and triple radio communication with a selective mode of operation of an additional radio module.
The events of the last two years, associated with the massive transition ...
Zyxel Nebula vs TP-Link Omada: comparing centralized network management systems
In large corporate networks with a complex topology, the real hell for the administrator will be the sequential configuration of all connected devices, one by one. In such cases, it is often almost impossible to detect errors in the network or determine its state. Who has the best orchestration tools today, Zyxel or TP-Link?
In large corporate networks with a complex topology, the real hell for the administrator will be the sequential configuration of all connected devices, one by one. In ...
An in-depth review of TP-Link Omada SDN: setting up VPN, manage VLANs
TP-Link suddenly has a very powerful and convenient software for setting up networks on coprorative objects. We tested this solution and showed how VLAN, Wi-Fi and security rules are configured in one common interface.
Today, network management systems can greatly facilitate the management of IT infrastructure, even at small facilities, not to mention large distributed installations with branches in different parts of the world. Agree: the sysadmin will sell his soul for the ability to ...
Testing Zyxel solution for HoReCa: access points WAC5302D-Sv2, WAC-500H and GS2220-28HP PoE switch
Yes, let many people believe that Wi-Fi is also Wi-Fi in Africa, but the wireless network in a cafe will be radically different from the network in some workshop or warehouse. First of all, you need to understand that the main customers of a public wireless network in a restaurant are visitors who need to be authorized through the Captive Portal to comply with legal requirements.
Let's start with the definition of the beautiful word "HoReCa": it is not a female name and not a ...
Zyxel vs. Ubiquiti: A comparative review of entry-level Wi-Fi 6 access points
For comparative testing of Wi-Fi 6 access points, a new test stand based on Intel AX200 and iPhone was required. We tested the speed on the line of sight, through the walls, and also compared the design of three popular access points.
Every major manufacturer of Wi-Fi equipment has already presented its business solutions for the modernization of restaurants, hotels and other public places. And there is an explanation: owners of brand-new iPhones want to see how the Wi-Fi network implements ...
Zyxel XS1930-12HP review: Multi-Gigabit PoE switch as the core of a Wi-Fi 6 network
Migrating to Wi-Fi 6, do you hope that at least the cable structure will remain the same, running on the old twisted pair 2.5 GBase-T? Let's look at the example of the universal PoE switch Zyxel, how a multi-gigabit switch that supports speeds from 1 to 10 Gbit/s with a cheap cable works, what features it provides and how it is configured via the cloud.
The adoption of the Wi-Fi 6 standard raises the requirements for the cable infrastructure of the LAN: most mid-level access points already ...
