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 most difficult thing is not even to pick up packages to replace Synology services with free ones, but to support their work, promptly responding to glitches and updates. This is not an easy, but doable task that can be completed in a few weeks. Installing applications, configuring services Having planned the storage, I proceed to installing the software. Docker is already installed, and now I will install MergerFS and SnapRAID file system support for the archived data array. For example ...

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 ...

You are very lucky if you used the NAS's of this company only for storing files: you will easily find a replacement for yourself. It's much worse if your business is actively tied to DSM services, including those related to virtualization, video surveillance, backups and fault tolerance. After the events of February 2022, Synology was one of the first to file for divorce and leave the Russian market. This means that any other market is not immune from the fact that the company does not fall ...

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, ...

Let's consider a typical case: a large retail chain opens hundreds of new stores, each of which plans to use IoT infrastructure using Wi-Fi 6. In order to facilitate the setup and commissioning of equipment, in other words, so that the sysadmin does not hang around all 100 stores, you can turn the deployment process upside down: first set up the network, and then lay the cables and mount the devices. Today ZyXEL provides you with such an opportunity when using the Nebula service. Let's ...

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 ...

Finally, Keenetic has released PoE access points for the Enterprise sector. Having absorbed all the developments made in the entire history of the company, they suddenly turned out to be very strong players offering excellent remote control, well-functioning VPN, and Wi-Fi 6 support, which has been lacking in the company's lineup for so long. Despite the fact that Keenetic routers were originally created for the home segment, they have firmly entered the business segment, or rather its niche ...

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 ...

The Nebula cloud Controller from Zyxel allows you to create VPN scenarios with Multi-WAN, in which you do not even need to specify gateway addresses and connection parameters. Lazily clicking the mouse, everything is configured and monitored by itself. We are considering how it works. Until now, for many network administrators, VPN tunnels present difficulties, especially when you simultaneously implement both client access to the node and communication between offices. It's not easy enough ...
