Zyxel is upping its game in the business Wi-Fi 6 market, with its (APs) offering a fine blend of features and performance. The WAX630S teams up a speedy dual-band AX3000 rating with support for high-speed Wi-Fi 6 160MHz channels and a choice of management modes.
It exhibits the same sturdy build quality as Zyxel's speedy WAX610D (see issue 333, p99) and also provides integral 4G/5G interference filters plus power surge protection. Speeds and feeds are the same for both APs; the main difference between them is their internal antenna circuit boards.
The WAX610D uses a dual-optimised antenna array that must be manually set for ceiling or wall mount placements.
The WAX630S's board presents a smart array that will work in either position and dynamically adjusts its aerial patterns to boost performance.
The WAX630S costs only a little more, and we tested them to see which is best. We connected them to a Zyxel XS1930-12HP 10GbE multigigabit PoE++ switch, used a Dell T640 Windows server with a 10GbE connection to the switch and called up our Dell Windows 10 Pro workstation equipped with a TP-Link Archer TX3000E Wi-Fi 6 PCI-E adapter.
