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.>

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. ...
Setting up a free micro-cloud using the Terramaster F2-423
The free and open source software market has made a tremendous leap forward in recent years, so today thousands of companies are using FOSS instead of public clouds. You don't have to buy a huge server to run your micro-cloud, you can set up a lot even on a desktop NAS.
Since about 2015, in our NAS reviews, we have focused on the fact that a modern file server for a small company is primarily the services it provides: advanced collaboration functions, file sharing via the Internet, video ...
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 ...
Short and sweet: how to choose a RAID/HBA controller for the server
RAID controllers have not left and are not going to, on the contrary, hardware controllers for NVME and PCI Express drives (including M2 format drives) are entering the market. The abundance of drives and software features of RAID/HBA make you approach this choice as responsibly as possible, otherwise you may lose data.

QNAP TS-262 - Little hero of a small office
This model shows that even a small 2-disk desktop NAS can pleasantly surprise with storage capabilities: up to 4 NVME SSDs and up to 16 hard drives when using cards and expansion shelves. The ability to configure layer-by-layer storage and run applications in containers in a compartment with a 2.5-gigabit network makes it an excellent choice for a modern office with remote access and Wi-Fi 6.
I already described the concept of a modern office in which all employees work remotely and only ...
Server fans: what they are, how they work
Server fans play a key role in maintaining the temperature at an optimal level. They operate at high speeds to ensure sufficient airflow within the server system, thereby cooling it. Most server fans are designed to operate at different speeds, which significantly enhances their efficiency. This means that when the server system is under load, the server fans operate at higher speeds to increase cooling, and when the load is light, the speed decreases.
The main function of server fans is to ...
Will Zyxel Nebula survive on the sovereign internet?
What will happen to your network if the Iron Curtain suddenly falls, and the Global Internet turns into something sovereign and all cross-border channels are blocked? Let's simulate this situation and tell you how to unsign the device from Nebula without Internet access.
We have reviewed the Nebula Control Center management system from Zyxel many times. This is a cloud service that allows you to configure and monitor the company's network stack via the Internet, including setting up Wi-Fi, ...
Testing smart antenna and beamforming at Zyxel Wi-Fi 6 access points
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 ...
