Zyxel NWA210BE review: A dual-personality Wi-Fi 7 access point for budget-conscious businesses
"Zyxel continues its drive to deliver future-proofed wireless networks with the NWA110BE and NWA210BE dual-band Wi-Fi 7 access points (APs). Investing in tri-band Wi-Fi 7 APs can be expensive for smaller businesses that don't currently anticipate a high user demand. And these two APs employ Zyxel's BandFlex technology, allowing them to swap from 5GHz to 6GHz operations when the time is right. The NWA110BE is an entry-level BE6500-rated model."
"At first glance, you'd be hard pushed to see any physical differences between the NWA110BE and NWA210BE, as both are clothed in identical lozenge-shaped shells made from sturdy high-impact plastic. Flip them over, though, and you'll find that the NWA210BE has a standard 2.5GbE multi-Gigabit uplink port and a second 2.5GbE port, which can be used in bridged mode to connect other network devices such as a computer or switch."
Zyxel's NWA110BE and NWA210BE are dual-band Wi‑Fi 7 access points targeted at SMBs seeking future-proof wireless without tri-band expense. BandFlex allows one radio to operate on 5GHz or switch to 6GHz when needed. The NWA210BE offers six spatial streams (two for 2.4GHz, four for 5/6GHz) and can reach BE12300 with 6GHz active by combining claimed 11,530 Mbits/sec on 6GHz and 688 Mbits/sec on 2.4GHz; using 5GHz reduces the rating to BE9300. NWA models carry a reduced feature set, can be managed standalone or via Nebula Cloud Control, and the NWA210BE includes dual 2.5GbE ports and supports PoE+ or a 2A USB‑C PD 15 supply.
