Enterprise AP, Home Price
This seems to be a good AP, essentially a highly flexible, enterprise grade AP at a home price. I had no problem setting them up in Nebula. It took longer to setup my account and org than to setup the first SSID and AP. Nebula is a bit clumsy about how it logs in - it doesn't adjust well to small screens - I have to use my tablet (10.3") to see the button to add the AP. I know that a lot of people complain about no power supply - read the description - you have no reason to complain. For the record, an enterprise AP doesn't come with a power supply either. You can use any 12v 2a power supply from the hundreds that are all over Amazon or get a power injector. My next steps are to add an SSID just for IoT devices, VLANs to isolate my IoT network, and LAG to use both LAN ports. From there, I will just play, especially in the local web and command line interfaces. To hit the tags: Signal Strength is good (please note that 6GHz penetration of walls is worse than 5GHz - not Zyxel's problem at all), reliability is good so far, and the speed is certainly good (my ISP is the bottle neck, but I can get speeds FAR better than my old Wi-Fi 5 Orbi. Maybe I will set up iPerf and see what I get internal to my network). Overall... it's an easy decision... buy it. UPDATE: Works great with the POE+ injector from Zyxel.

Excelent WiFi 7 AP w/PoE & 2.5g Uplink
Was looking for a low cost but good WiFi 7 AP so I wouldn't have to replace it anytime soon. A post online got me looking at Zytel because it supports VLANs, and the prices were much lower than Asus Merlin/the x86 OpenWRT box I as thinking of building out.Setup was a breeze, I just plugged into a 1g PoE+ port, and it instantly powered on and pulled an IP via DHCPv4! This supports 8x SSID's that you can apply to any/all radios and map to any VLAN, 8x Security Profiles that you can apply to any/all SSID profiles. This also supports 2.5g Ethernet and WiFi 7 (for when I have 2.5g PoE+ ports and WiFi7 devices).I run OPNsense for a router, with a couple ICX7250 48-port 1g+8x10g switches w/PoE+. I also dual-wan (ATT Fiber: 500/500@5-7ms & Spectrum Cable: 1000/35 @ 35-45ms) and do heavy traffic shaping to reduce bufferbloat. A speed test from phone w/WiFi-6E gave me 865mbps w/same ping as if I was wired in to a gigabit port. I am extremely happy with my purchase.My only gripe, and this is a minor one, is my LAN is IPv6 on a site-local IP range fd00::0/112, and the AP won't configure it's management address for a site-local IP range. Like I said, minor gripe because I can just manage it via an IPv4 address, obviously layer 2 is working so DHCPv6 from the router works perfectly through the AP to the clients.I'm giving this 5-stars. This is my first Zyxel product and it took me half an hour to setup and update to the latest firmware. For a SOHO environment, just buy this.

Perfectly functional enterprise 802.11be wifi 7 access point
There is another review here saying this unit only supports WiFi 6; that is false. I can confirm this unit produces WiFi 7 802.11be which I was able to connect to with WiFi 7 clients. It works fine. It has 2.4ghz 5ghz and 6ghz radios, all of which work well. Speeds are as expected. The unit is nice looking. 2.5gbe Ethernet ports are nice.The ap has two ways to set it up, cloud based and local administration web GUI. I choose local and it was fairly rough. It's a perfectly serviceable GUI but you really need to know what you're doing and it does not hold your hand at all. I can't comment on nebula cloud.Either way, this isn't a consumer device. That's why they expect you to power it with poe and as a result it does not come with a 12v power adapter. I had to buy one separately which was fine.This is an enterprise device that consumers can use if they are savvy to get cheap Wi-Fi 7. It's great for what it is, just realize what it is

Using WiFi 6 with roaming
I purchased 2 of these access points as I wanted an easy mesh system for my house that required little configuration. Using the basic Setup Wizard, set all the frequencies to broadcast the same SSID on both routers, then went to Settings > Wireless > AP Management > WIZ_SSID_1 and checked the box for 802.11 Assisted Roaming on both and that's basically it for roaming. You can verify that both access points see each other on the management dashboard. They will both show the other as an "Ethernet Neighbor".I don't receive a cell phone signal in my house due to a metal roof and living in the country, so using WIFI calling is a requirement and my old system would drop calls as I walked away from one access point towards the other. This one has a momentary studder of less than a second when it's swapping access points, but it's so much better than dropping a call and having to call just because I moved away from an access point.I haven't tested the 6GHz band as I don't have any compatible devices, but both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi 6 bands work great!As others have said, it's made for businesses, so setting it up assumes you know a bit about WIFI networking, and you will need a separate wall adapter if you don't have a POE injector for power. Most Netgear power adapters at 3 amps will work. That's what I'm using to power both.Also keep in mind, these are only access points and will require a DHCP router to manage the network.
