Choosing a Zyxel switch rarely boils down to a simple "how many ports do I need?"&"- GS1100 and GS1900 from the same price category can radically differ in control functionality, and externally similar XGS1935 and XGS2220 will differ in routing and stacking class so much that they solve completely different infrastructure tasks. In this review, we will analyze the product line into three practical groups - SOHO and small office, medium and large business, as well as industrial and ...

We are considering a dual-band router with Class 7 Wi-Fi support, designed for just such a scenario. It combines modern wireless functionality (160 MHz channels, 4K‑QAM, Multi‑Link Operation) and a normal wired part with two 2.5‑Gigabit ports so that the wireless network does not run into a gigabit "bottleneck" over a copper pair. We add compatibility with EasyMesh here to build a seamless Mesh network throughout an apartment or house, and it turns out to be quite an interesting base ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The IP-COM G5328X switch is designed for companies with a high network load and a developed multi-segment LAN. It combines layers and aggregations and cores, for connection to the backbone network or local data center-the company has 4 dedicated 10-gigabit SFP+ slots installed here, and for downstream connections - 24 RJ45 ports with speeds up to 1 Gbit/s, which can be combined into both static and dynamic channels. The core switch bears the main burden of packet forwarding, therefore, for ...

Today we are looking at an unusual PoE switch that has 8 active power ports and 2 additional ports for Uplink and stacking. Despite the seemingly outdated speed of 100 Mbit / s, this model can be used to connect IP phones and surveillance cameras. This is a good alternative for compact offices where there are restrictions on the placement of equipment in telecommunications cabinets, as well as for non-critical objects. One of the significant advantages of digital video surveillance systems ...
