Zyxel WiFi 6 AX3000 Wireless Access Point | Multi-gig 2.5G Uplink Port | PoE | 3×3 + 2×2 MU-MIMO | Nebula Cloud [NWA50AX Pro]

Great Product
This is a great quality product, most suitable for a small business or a home user with good IT knowledge. It works well and is easy to set up, provided Nebula is installed on the phone or laptop and PC being used. A standalone option is available. Very pleased with the results. My network is now more responsive. It can be wall or ceiling-mounted. It has no supporting stand for shelf use. I would recommend this item to anyone looking for reliable results from their network. It’s not a mesh system; it’s an access point and requires hard wiring to the router or a nearby network switch. I have two and have disabled the wifi on my router as that is not required, and these offer superior quality. You can set them to operate on the same wifi channels, which for me gives the best results.

Easy install
Great quality and very easy to set up using the app.

Great for meshing with OpenWRT
I have 3 of these spread around the house, flashed with OpenWRT and in a B.A.T.M.A.N.-Adv mesh. They work extremely well and have great range. Flashing OpenWRT is a breeze.

High hopes from a wired Zyxel user
I had high hopes for this Access Point, as I’ve been using Zyxel switches with no issues, so I assumed I’d be able to use this standalone and configure it how I want. Sadly, I was wrong, as it was wall after wall from the minute I switched it on.It wouldnt let me connect to the web interface using the static IP address I set in my OPNSense Router, so I had to connect to the unsecure default wireless network. I scanned the QR code manual and found that I needed to connect using 1.1.1.1, so I did. For standalone mode, the manual stated that the default username and password was admin:1234, which just returned a “Login denied” message. I did some Googling, and I wasn’t the only one with the issue, but all the answers were to just “use nebula cloud because the basic is free”.I didn’t want to, but I reluctantly went to give the cloud a try. This required signing up for an account and manually inputting your AP mac and serial. I got my AP added and configured my SSID settings. It took the AP about 50 minutes to pull the configuration down, and during that time I had unsecured entry into my network. When it finally pulled the settings, I could then try (multiple times) to get it to upgrade the firmware. At some point, it finally decided to reboot and update itself.This leads me to why I’ve had to return it. No matter what I did, using the horrendous Nebula interface, I could not get it to allow communication between wireless and wired devices. It forces isolation on and forces the use of VLANs, so there was no communication between devices, and I couldnt find a way to disable it. I tried to get standalone access one more time, using the credentials set by Nebula, and I still couldn’t get in. Trying to reach their support forums just ended up in a redirect loop.I’m returning this and will be looking for a dumber AP with no cloud management bloat.

Eccellente Access-Point. E’ orma in servizio da qualche settimana in una rete di 3 AccessPoint che copre una villetta in cemento armato. Gli access point sono connessi a un MultiGigabit Switch con porte a 2.5Gbps PoE motati a parete in prossimità del soffitto. La ricezione è ottima in tutta la casa e nel giardino si raggiungono velocità ragguardevole anche se per sfruttare i 2.5 gbps della connessione fibra è necessario usare più connessioni da molteplici Access-Points. La connessione è stabile a circa 7-800 mbps su un singolo client che usa uno stream a 1.2Gbps. L’access point permette di avere fino a 8 SSID su ciascuna radio frequenza (2.4 e 5 ghz), permette la configurazione di profili radio e di sicurezza nonchè la classificazione degli AP che rileva come rogue o friendly per MAC address. Su ciascun SSID si possono configurare MAC filters. Supporta ovviamente 802.1q VLAN tagging in modo da separare SSID e traffico su VLAN individuali. Il roaming tra different AP (con opportuna configurazione 802.11k/v) è assolutamente trasparente e senza packet drops (nelle telefonate in VoIP non ci si accorge di aver cambiato AP). E’ necessario capirci un po’ e accettare di spendere un po’ di tempo nel configurarlo meglio collegarlo con ethernet cablata. Personalmente tutto in manuale (niente wizard che limita molto le opzioni e Nebula) e tutti gli AP wired per massime prestazioni e alimentazione PoE. Estremamente ben documentato sia per interfaccia WEB che CLI e supportato da uno user forum sul sito Zyxel. Firmware originale ver 7:10. Supporta Syslog logging e NTP per poter tracciare tutti gli eventi da un server Syslog e correlarli a problemi o accessi indesiderati. Assolutamente raccomandato.

Très bon, facile a programmer
