Access Point for Zyxel FWA710 5g router

Marino

Good morning.

I purchased a Zyxel FWA710 5g router. I need to connect it to an access point preferably of the same Zyxel brand. It is used at home so I would like only one product (switch + wireless). The requirements are 4 physical ethernet ports for the users, plus one for the WAN (UpLink) of the 5g router. Another requirement is the possession of 2.4ghz and 5ghz wireless. Can you recommend me some commercial solutions?

Thank you for your kind feedback and I take this opportunity to send my best regards. Marino

Hi @Mario ,

The most suitable Zyxel access point for your scenario is the WAX300H, which features 3 LAN ports for wired users and dual-band connectivity (2.4GHz and 5GHz) for wireless users.

Currently, Zyxel does not offer any access points with 4 LAN ports. If you require 4 LAN ports for wired users, we recommend using a 5-port switch in combination with the access point.

Unfortunately I need 4 physical connections because I have 4 devices that connect only with ethernet cable. Could using a device such as Zyxel EX3301-T0 fit my case?

You can also suggest me some products from Zyxel but out of production, the important thing is to remain within the requirements.

Hi @Mario ,

The Zyxel EX3301-T0 router meets your requirements with its 1 WAN and 4 LAN ports.

When deploying and configuring, please ensure that either the FWA710 or the EX3301 is designated as your DHCP server and handles routing… functions. Having both devices attempt to manage these services simultaneously will cause network conflicts and connectivity issues.
