Zyxel NWA50AX 1775 Mbit/s blanco Power over Ethernet (PoE)

The Zyxel NWA50AX Dual Band 2.4GHz 5GHz Wi-Fi 6 access point delivers dual-band wireless connectivity with a combined maximum data transfer rate of 1775 Mbit/s. Designed for environments that require stable, high-speed Wi-Fi, this ceiling- or wall-mountable device supports both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands and implements the IEEE 802.11ax standard for improved spectral efficiency and multi-user performance. The unit is compact and finished in white, and it supports Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3at) to simplify power and network cabling during installation.

Advantages

The access point supports Wi‑Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax) and legacy 802.11a/b/g/n/ac standards for broad client compatibility, and it provides a combined throughput of up to 1775 Mbit/s across the two bands. Integrated security features include WPA, WPA2 and WPA3 protocols to help protect wireless traffic. Single-port Ethernet connectivity with PoE support reduces the need for a separate power outlet and streamlines placement. With a lightweight design (approximately 0.29 kg) and neutral white color, the device fits unobtrusively into home or office interiors.

Suitable for

• Small and medium offices requiring central Wi‑Fi coverage
• Home environments with multiple high‑bandwidth devices
• Meeting rooms, classrooms and shared spaces needing reliable wireless access
• Installations where PoE simplifies cabling and power delivery

Key specifications

• Wireless standards: IEEE 802.11ax (Wi‑Fi 6), 802.11ac, 802.11n, 802.11a/b/g
• Frequency bands: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz dual‑band operation
• Maximum data transfer rate: up to 1775 Mbit/s (combined)
• Ethernet: 1 × RJ‑45 LAN port with Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3at) support
• Form factor and color: compact ceiling/wall mountable unit in white
• Weight: approximately 0.29 kg

How to use

Mount the access point on a ceiling or wall near a central location for optimal coverage, and connect it to your network switch or router using a single Ethernet cable that also supplies power via IEEE 802.3at PoE. Use the vendor’s management interface or supported controller software to configure SSIDs, security (WPA/WPA2/WPA3) and radio settings. Place the device away from large metal objects and sources of interference for best wireless performance, and register firmware updates as provided by the manufacturer to maintain security and compatibility.

Recommendations

For balanced coverage and capacity, assign 2.4 GHz for legacy or low‑bandwidth clients and reserve 5 GHz for high‑throughput devices. Enable WPA3 where client support exists and use band steering or separate SSIDs to optimize device distribution across bands. When deploying multiple access points, plan channel allocation and power settings to minimize co‑channel interference and ensure consistent roaming performance.
