Optimised PoE+ powers more devicesThis switch’s intelligent PoE+ design can be configured for 'consumption mode,' delivering only the actual power required by your networked devices, reserving the rest and maximising its power budget (consumption mode must be enabled in device management). That means a single switch can power more APs, IP cameras and VoIP phones, ensuring a better ROI for your business. The switch supports the IEEE 802.3at providing a maximum of 30W per port. (This feature is only valid for GS1900 models with PoE) |
Speedy Gigabit performance—built for SMBsFeaturing Gigabit performance that’s 10 times faster than Fast Ethernet, the GS1900 is a series of switches with full non-blocking bandwidth of up to 1 Gbps per port. An ideal upgrade from an unmanaged switch, it’s a great choice for SMBs that want to enjoy high-speed business network applications at full wired non-blocking speed. |
Plan for your future network—todayIs your business network evolving? Extend your physical network into remote areas that are difficult to reach with power. And if you plan to adopt the latest 802.11ac wireless standard - or want to expand or prepare your network for guest access, VoIP or IP cameras - choosing a PoE+ switch that carries electrical power can enable those technologies, while also saving you time and costs associated with instaling power cables. (This feature is only valid for GS1900 models with PoE) |

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.
Really simple. PoE injector …ran the cable. Don’t have to use a power supply. Setup wifi networks using the same names as my netgear router.
Everything seamlessly connects. There’s so many features. Upgrades all the time. Now I want to dump netgear and get all this brand for equipment.
Great price. Great device.
New 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.

The only possible gripe I can have is the fact that the Nebula portal isn't super user friendly. While it does offer loads of awesome features, the GUI could use a little TLC and could be difficult to figure out if you didn't know what you're doing.
I'm seriously considering buying some more for my warehouse. These little things are just so great. It beats the stuffing out of a mesh system IF you're wired for it.
Attached is a screenshot of a speed test connected to the AP (on a fiber internet connection). Mind you, the nearest AP was ~30ft away and had 4 thick walls to travel through when the test was ran. I've had much more expensive APs do way worse in better conditions.
Summary: Buy these things. You will probably need a few, but this is the best budget WiFi 6 AP. If your home or office is wired with Ethernet, this is a fantastic solution for solid, reliable coverage.

Top reviews from other countries
Pros:
- Is actually fanless despite other customer reviews hinting that it is not
- Totally silent
- Supports multiple user accounts
- Supports different roles for users (eg Admin, Not Admin)
- UI is not as confusing as other vendors, notable because some UIs on other consumer grade managed switches are *horrible*
- Power cord doesn't have a brick on the end, so it's easy to plug in to a crowded power strip
Cons:
- UI relies heavily on Javascript which must be whitelisted
- Switch config for Link Aggregation is very lacking. (Ive tried to include details but each update is rejected...)
What would make this a 5 Stars?
- An authenticated API for scripted/automated configuration
- Support all common Link Aggregation configurations
Package contains full hardware for surface, wall and rack mounting so lots of options for how to place the switch. Only minor issue is that the wall mounting slots are only on one plane, so it must be mounted straight up or down and can't be mounted sideways.
For a home switch that I want to play with network segregation, this is the ticket. There's port labelling as well if need to remeber what's plugged into that one port that seems to be hogging the bandwidth.
