Zyxel NWA50BE, BE5100, Access Point Dual Radio 2x2 MU-MIMO, PoE+ (802.3at), Standalone/Nebula

Advanced WiFi 7 access point designed for small businesses, home offices and compact workspaces.

The NWA50BE is an affordable path to the latest WiFi 7 (IEEE 802.11be) technology with combined speeds of up to 5.1 Gbps . Equipped with a Qualcomm quad-core processor and BE5100 configuration (2.4GHz: 2x2:2, 5GHz: 2x2:2), it delivers enterprise-level performance in a compact design.

The access point uses advanced Smart Mesh MLO technology with dual-radio backhaul for dynamic wireless connectivity without the need for complex cabling. Unlike traditional mesh networks, it uses both radios simultaneously, ensuring higher bandwidth, better immunity to interference, and ultra-low latency.

Nebula Cloud Networking
Easy configuration via the Nebula cloud interface allows for quick setup, creating separate networks for work and family without having to remember IP addresses or passwords. The ZON Utility system provides centralized management of all Zyxel devices.

Advanced security and management
The access point supports WPA/WPA2/WPA3 Personal encryption, L2-isolation, MAC filtering and rogue access point detection. Fast roaming technology includes pre-authentication, PMK caching and 802.11r/k/v standards.

Flexible deployment
Compact dimensions of 150 × 150 × 35 mm and a weight of only 412 g allow easy installation on a wall or ceiling. Power supply via PoE (802.3at) with a power consumption of 16W or the supplied adapter.
