Standalone vs. Nebula Cloud
I don't really care about make changes in one place to affect multiple APs. For me that isn't an advantage in my use case.

Hi @jpblanch75 ,
Thank you for raising question here.
In terms of network service/operation, no much difference.
In terms of device management,
Cloud management can be done anywhere/anytime. Device software maintenance is automatic.
We also have Nebula APP to check the AP status and basic configure change.
The event log can be recorded for 7 days and have further advanced feature.
Please refer this post about Nebula key introduction:
https://community.zyxel.com/en/discussion/139/what-is-nebula
For standalone has more options and flexibility to cover for corner-case network scenarios not supported in cloud mode.
For most of the cases, Nebula can meet your need and it’s free to use base pack Nebula, and the graphical interface is more user friendly.
If you have further question, please feel free to discuss with us,
Thank you.

Hi @jpblanch75 ,
Our Nebula APP only support Nebula mode.
To upgrade standalone AP:
1.you need to go to download library:
https://www.zyxel.com/support/download_landing.shtml
2.after download the file, unzip the file
3.go to Web GUI, file manager>firmware package > upload file
and upload the ".bin" file.
Here is another way by using ZON,
select the AP you need to upgrade, and click the firmware upgrade icon.
if you choose local upgrade, just follow the standalone mode process, upload the bin file.
when you choose online upgrade,
it would directly download the latest firmware version,
and process firmware upgrade.
(we recommend this as more convenient.)
for more ZON introduction, you may refer:

Thank you.

Can you please tell me what "more options and flexibility" do the standalone mode have over the Nebula mode? I'm trying to look for this info all over the Internet and I cannot find it!
