As part of the ongoing enhancements in uOS 1.32, Zyxel introduces the Secure WiFi License for H Series firewalls — a licensing option designed to expand the number of access points (APs) that can be managed directly from the firewall.

What Is the Secure WiFi License?

The USG FLEX H Series firewall supports functioning as a wireless LAN controller starting from firmware version 1.32. The Secure WiFi License increases the number of APs the firewall can manage. By default, each H Series firewall supports up to 8 managed APs. With a Secure WiFi license, this capacity increases significantly depending on the model.

License Duration

Secure WiFi license available for a-la-carte purchase with durations:

• 1 month
• 1 year
• 2 years

The licenses can be purchased through Zyxel Marketplace, NCC, Circle or from authorized distributors.

AP Capacity by Device

The license is also included in the Gold Security Pack, so if you're using a bundled license, click “Refresh” button to see Secure WiFi activated under your device’s license tab.

Maximum Number of Managed APs for Each Model:

• USG FLEX 50H/50HP supports up to 12 APs.
• USG FLEX 100H/100HP supports up to 24 APs
• USG FLEX 200H/200HP supports up to 40 APs
• USG FLEX 500H supports up to 72 APs
• USG FLEX 700H supports up to 520 APs

License Transfer Rules

• Transfer allowed between same-tier H Series models (e.g., 50H to 50HP).
• Transfer not allowed between different H Series tiers (e.g., 50H to 100H).
• Not transferable to USG FLEX series.

What Happens When the License Expires?

• The AP management capacity reverts to 8.
• If more than 8 APs were previously connected:
  • All APs temporarily disconnect from the firewall.
  • The first 8 APs that reconnect will operate as “Managed APs”.
  • The remaining APs will appear as “disconnected” in the GUI but stay in managed mode with last provision retained.
