Review on ZyXEL NWA1123 ACPRO Powered Concurrent 802 11Ac by Micha Skolimowski ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not perfect quality, there is a small defect.

I bought for a 3-room apartment, a house of the P-44 series, to replace WiFi from an MGTS router, hung it on the ceiling in the corridor in the center of the apartment and hoped that it would close the entire apartment, but the hopes did not come true. In the rooms next to the corridor (through one reinforced concrete wall), an average of 40 Mbps is even more or less enough, then in a room or kitchen, through the 2nd reinforced concrete walls, the signal drops to 70dBm and the speed to 0.8 Mbps. I also considered the disadvantages that if Mesh is needed, then only one such point is connected by cable, the rest via Wifi and must go in repeater mode, in this mode it will not be possible to connect other devices with a cable or network segment to repeater points. I realized for myself that I would have to buy a second same access point so that the signal of a normal level was throughout the apartment, in my case it would be more profitable to take routers from another brand (spun off from this one) with Mesh support. In terms of price-quality ratio, I can't recommend it.

Pros
  • The ability to remotely configure via the cloud, the design is invisible on the ceiling (you can turn off the LEDs so that they do not flicker), powered by PoE - pull only one cord
Cons
  • I didn’t like it: the power is nothing outstanding, through a couple of walls in the apartment the signal is already starting to disappear, or very weak. If you combine a WiFi Mesh network into a common network, then you cannot connect a device with a wire to the second same access point, and those are only in WiFi repeater mode and the point itself without devices.
