A reliable, easy to set up wireless access point
This is as easy to set up as the video shows. I have been running one for six months and it has been entirely reliable, and as speedy as my rural broadband will allow which is why I have just bought a second. The coverage distance is not quite as far within the house as I had hoped - but that's largely due to a very large chimney breast that blocks the signal.

Easy to install
I bought two of these for the house. Works really well and the Wi-Fi has never been so stable.Easy to install. Remember they connect to your Wi-Fi router with Ethernet cables.

Great value - Mesh capable
These access points are good value, offers wifi 6, multiple SSIDs and vlan support.You can use with the nebula app, though I'd recommended getting them configured without it (no cloud/nebula) as it has its quirks and you may not need it. I may see about resetting mine and reconfiguring themYou got to purchase a license to use some advanced features wich kind of takes the biscuit a bit as I belive you should never need to pay subscription fees to use your device at its fullest.Overall very pleased with the price of the device, setup is pretty easy.

Works fine
Seems to work fine I have it running as stand alone maybe a bit tricky for some to setup in stand alone mode, for the pice its cheap.

Unreliable and unstable garbage
Don’t bother buying this. It might be cheap, but it’s not worth the time and effort you’re going to have to put into troubleshooting it. Over the last few weeks of using it I had constant issues. Sometimes it just restarts on its own and takes 10 minutes to boot up. Sometimes it just stops broadcasting WiFi entirely until rebooted. I already updated to the latest firmware as of time of writing this. I’m also not powering it via PoE (I’m using provided power source instead), so that’s not what’s causing the problem either. During all those issues the device also stopped exposing its management interface, so I had no chance even to see specifically what was the issue. I’ve noticed that the management interface does not even come online, unless the device is fully working and the configuration is valid. Try changing VLANs on this thing, is so much fun. You HAVE TO configure the trunk first to carry all the VLANs, prior to configuring them in the management interface of this AP. If you mess it up, game over, management interface won’t come back online. Good luck fixing it.I work in IT. This is one of the most infuriating devices I had to configure, and I bought it for home use. I regret doing this to myself.

Good WiFi 6 AP with plenty of features
1stly, you do not need a subscription to use one as mentioned in another review. You may need it for nebula, but it is also possible to control these in stand alone mode directly via the web interface. Nebula doesn't really offer any advantage unless you have lots of devices you need to manage.It has useful facilities for diagnosing wifi problems, it shows the signal strength of connected stations and can show nearby access points too.I have 2 of these sharing the same SSID's . I have the same SSID for both 2.5 and 5, but have also added a specific 5Ghz SSID as well.After using Zyxels own web interface I installed OpenWrt . I prefer it, although I haven't done much with it yet. However it has a nicer way of showing nearby Wifi usage which is useful in manually choosing channels, [photo]

WiFi signal weaker than Unifi AP Lite it was meant to replace
I bought 2 of these to replace 2 old Unifi lite AP's.Setup was simple. Created a Nebula account before anything else, then adopted the AP's using the provided QR code. Had both up and running in a few mins.Nebula cloud management is ok. It gives useful data but I found it quite slow to update eg if a device roamed from 1 AP to another it would take a while to show the change. Nebula is free to use, but you need to pay to unlock some of advanced features.I found the performance of these AP's poor compared to the older Unifi lite AP's. Even without running any dedicated tools it was obvious the signal was weaker in most areas. I spent quite a bit of time changing the radio settings to make sure they were transmitting at full power with as little interference as possible, but no luckIn the end I returned as they were a downgrade if anything compared to the existing AP's.Gave 3 stars as they are very cheap, but performance isnt great

Excellent range and reliable
Bought this as my BT hub doesn’t do Wi-Fi6Set up is easy, though it does try to get you to subscribe for advanced features. If you just want a basic access point, you won’t need it.Range is very good, and covers the whole house, where the BT hub needed an extender upstairs.Comes with a power adapter, also supports Poe
