Terrible Radio, Missing Features

At first glance, that's quite a lot compared to the Zyxel. This Netgear hotspot is no different from the EnGenius hotspot, and its interface is exactly the same, just under a different brand, ie. Netgear. Missing features, no option to disable a/b/g radio, focus only on AC/AX radio protocols. The interface is very common for today's technology. I was very excited to try this and it goes great with my Netgear switch which I like and the UI is way better than that AP GUI. This product seems to lack wireless performance for Wi-Fi 6, and the Zyxel AP puts this Netgear hotspot to shame. He is too big. Build and size, features are identical to EnGenius AP WiFi 6, with bad radio, while my Zyxel works much better. Anyone who says there are many features must be either drunk or inexperienced. If you look at Zyxel's features compared to Netgear and EnGenius platform, Zyxel becomes more advanced and Netgear/EnGenius more down-to-earth. Technically not many features compared to Zyxel. I'm just picky and like to have control over what I want to set to avoid interference from other radios and have more control over the DCS schedule. You literally won't see the features you need when dealing with interference, which is why Netgear and EnGenius lack features that might work for the average person with little or no experience. If it works for you, that's great, but it doesn't always work for everyone. Zyxel gave me what I needed and what I wanted, it worked.

Pros
  • Nice Stuff
Cons
  • Not Trendy
