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.

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 ...

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. ...

Bulletin on IoT security. Is your network ready for Internet of Things exploits?

Not so long ago, Human Security revealed an entire shadow network associated with infected devices and malicious applications. Infected were not only Android TV set-top boxes, but also tablet PCs, wearable devices and even cars. Some IoT devices may even be infected with viruses or Trojans already at the stage of their production or sale, and since it is impossible to imagine a modern company without IoT today, it is important to properly protect your network. Today's world is completely ...

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 ...
