Zyxel True WiFi6 Wireless Access Point (802.11ax Dual Band), 3.0 Gbps with Quad Core CPU and Dual 4x4 5GHz + 2x2 2.4GHz MU-MIMO Antenna, Manageable via Nebula APP/Cloud or Standalone [NWA210AX]

Update 1/22/22New FW 6.30 release fixed the config reboot issue of needing to reapply the config.--------------------------------I got this back on 10/2020 so I've gotten some time under my belt with this thing at this point. Coming from the perspective of a Network Engineer that deals with this sort of thing daily it's on par for most AP's used outside of the home.You have 2 options for setup GUI / CLI and the CLI is more immediate in changes as you would expect coming from an office / DC background. From the perspective of a home user though this could be appealing with the web GUI being somewhat familiar compared to the likes of the items you would pick up at your local BB / WM / etc. It's not flashy in any sense of the word like those brands it's just there to get the job done.Being familiar with Cisco / Juniper / etc. the CLI is similar in context and application. It's not completely unlocked though in the sense you can't override every option but, it does make more sense than digging through the menus on the GUI.I captured the CLI config and yanked everything out that wasn't needed / desired and went from there. Cleaned up it's simple to insert what you need and save it. Somewhere along the line though I deleted something somewhere and now when it reboots it needs the config reapplied... not an issue too often since it's plugged into a POE injector that keeps it powered up during server reboots.I've been able to max out the throughput on a single client using an AX210 Intel adapter @ 1.5gbps / 150MB/s pushing/pulling from the server. Not nearly the 2.4gbps it's capable of which seems to be a QOS limitation which I opened a ticket with Zyxel for and didn't get far with them unlocking the option to modify things to boost the speed.If you're looking for something better than the run of the mill consumer grade junk... This is your best bet and at least 50% cheaper than buying a 802.11ax router and turning it into a bridged AP.

Its fast. Watch attached video. I transfered a big video file from shared folder on a 1000Mbps wired computer to a DELL i7 laptop connected to ZYXEL through wifi 6 ax. Maximum I got is little over 800Mbps down, which is very fast. Almost as fast as wired speed.Update: I canged to newr cables and now I am getting 999 Mbps speed.

I purchased NWA110ax or AX1800 model to replace previous Netgear AP. Zyxel's standalone mode software that is built into AP has plenty of features and configurability and their cloud management is free for personal use and easy to use using app, however the range of this access point is pretty bad due to weak signal strength. I am using it in same place as my previous Netgear AP and Netgear AP had much stronger signal strength with better range on both 2.4Ghz and 5GHz bands. Zyxel's AP made my laptop nearly unusable at the certain location, I had to buy external USB Wi-Fi adapter with external antenna to make network connection usable on it. I have tried all available channels for both bands, nothing really changed in terms of signal strength or range. And while this Zyxel AP allows users to set output power limit to 30 dBm - this option is basically USELESS because Zyxel actually automatically lowers it to around 20 dBm for all bands, regardless of channel, supposedly due to "local regulations" (I am located in USA) and you cannot override that.

Pros:Signal strength seems great compared to old router.Standalone interface is nice, no cloud needed. I don't feel like I don't lose configurability for not using cloud access.Comes with wall power by default but is POE capable. Options are nice.Cons (these cons may not be unique to this device just that this device has these limitations):When the router is reset this AP doesn't seem release DHCP holdings. This means if there's an improperly configured DHCP lease or a lease that is supposed to be updated (like for the AP itself) on router reboot, this access point holds onto it. So rebooting the router to resolve this also means I need to reboot the AP first then reboot router while AP is rebooting.Can't disable WMM, needed for certain backwards compatibility.Wasn't clear about how to adjust 802.11 mode. The default profiles are locked, but if you make a new radio profile you can adjust the mode in those. This was not obvious at all. But eventually I got things working. For those running some older/simpler IoT devices, you'll need to likely run the 2.4 radio in N mode. But that was true on my old router as well. Not a limitation of this device.

This is a power over Ethernet (POE) enterprise level access point (AP) that is perfect for the home. It’s perfectly sized since it’s about 6 inches square. My home is pre-wired in the ceiling for APs. This device is newly released and the Zxyel web page doesn’t even list NWA50AX as part of their lineup. This is for a geek-type customer who likes technical stuff. It is plug and play fortunately for the casual non-geek as well. There are not many YouTube videos on how to set it up, but do a search and you will find a handful to guide you in the set-up. After setting up my1st unit, I bought another one immediately. It’s that good. I have 3 floors in my home and just bought two units, the top floor is where my Wi-Fi 6 router is located , so I didn’t see the need for an access point situated 10-feet away from the router.
