How to Troubleshoot Packet Loss Issues on Zyxel Access Points?
The packet loss problem could be caused by several factors, including: Wireless interference in the environment Clients are too far from the Access Point (AP), resulting in a weak signal Device-specific mechanisms, such as power-saving modes on some devices To confirm the source of the problem, you can perform the…
-
Why does my Nebula Mesh experience a drop in downstream speed over time?
The drop in downstream speed on your Nebula Mesh uplinks can occur due to several reasons. One common issue is weak signal strength between the Mesh Repeater and the Root AP. When the signal falls below a certain threshold (e.g., -65 dBm), packet loss may occur, leading to a decrease in uplink and downlink speeds.…

Why Nebula Access Point Policy Clients Cannot Be Copied Between Sites?
Currently, Zyxel Nebula does not support directly importing Policy Clients from a CSV file. While you can export the list for reference, Policy Clients must be manually added to set the policy for a given MAC address before that client associates with the network. To copy Access Point Policy Clients between sites, you will…

What happens when radar is detected by an NWA90AX at a site?
When an NWA90AX AP detects radar interference, the following steps are taken to ensure minimal disruption: The AP switches to a non-DFS channel to avoid radar interference. Clients may experience brief disconnections or instability during this channel switch. The AP monitors the radar presence and, if no radar is detected…

What is the Maximum Number of Policy Entries for Wireless Clients?
In the "Site-wide -> Clients" section, the displayed message "Maximum block policy for the wireless client is 512 entries per site" refers to the total number of 'block' policy entries that can be set under "Site-wide -> Clients -> Show policy clients". Currently, the limit for 'block' policy entries is 512, and the limit…

Why are some APs offline on my SNMP monitoring tool?
If you have activated SNMP on your Zyxel access points (APs) but some APs are not showing up or remain offline on your SNMP monitoring tool (like Zabbix), it is likely due to the current lack of SNMP support in specific AP models. The models NWA90AX, NWA55AXE, NWA50AX, WAX50AX Pro, and WAX90AX Pro are designed primarily…

Why is My Device not getting an IP Address from the DHCP Server?
This issue might occur due to incorrect VLAN settings or weak signal strength. Here are the steps to resolve this: Verify that the VLAN settings for the switch port connected to the access point and the DHCP server are correctly configured. Check the signal strength of the connected devices (STA). A weak Wi-Fi signal or…
-
Why does the Nebula topology map show incorrect device connections?
The Nebula topology map relies on the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) to discover and map network devices. If your network includes devices that do not support LLDP, such as some models of mobile routers or switches, the topology map may not represent connections accurately. For example, if a mobile router is…
-
Why is the Auto upgrade of firmware not working on Nebula?
The issue with the firmware auto update not working may be related to synchronization problems with the NTP server. If the Access Point (AP) is unable to sync with the NTP server, it cannot report real-time data to Nebula, which can disrupt the auto-update process. To resolve this, check your firewall or ISP configurations…
-
Why is the 2.4 GHz Signal Strength Limited to 20 dBm on NWA1123-AC-HD?
The maximum power output must comply with local regulations. For instance, in Switzerland, the maximum allowable power for the 2.4 GHz band is 20 dBm. As a result, the system will limit the output to 20 dBm to ensure regulatory compliance.
-
Can I retain network settings when moving a AP across organizations in Nebula?
When moving a device across organizations in Nebula, you can opt to retain the network interface settings such as static IP, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS settings. However, other configurations like SSID settings depend on site-specific settings and will not transfer. Ensure the "Keep device interface setting" option is…
