How to Make Your Wireless Reach Further

Wireless is now the preferred choice for most endpoint devices in use today. Even when laptop users have the option of plugging into a cabled network in their office many choose to use WiFi. Increasingly, laptops don’t have built-in wired network ports and require a dongle to convert a USB-C port to a network port. Hassle many people choose to avoid. And who can blame them given the user-friendliness and ease of WiFi?

There is now an expectation that a WiFi network will be available to connect your device in most businesses and it's now even expected in environments such as hotels, gyms, café’s, restaurants and many more. What this means for the organisations that serve customers is that good WiFi is a necessity, and anywhere that doesn’t provide it will be at a significant commercial disadvantage to their competitors who do.

Reliable WiFi 6 Provision

Most organisations that need to provide WiFi for their customers are not looking to give them the world’s fastest internet connection. The WiFi provision is a feature of their business or service, not the reason for their existence. What they are looking for, either by installing themselves or via their IT MSP, is a cost-effective and reliable WiFi system that provides coverage for all the areas in their premises that need it.

Providing a solution that delivers this requirement is precisely what Zyxel Networks does with their WiFi 6 wireless access points. WiFi 6 (or 802.11ax as it is also known) is the latest and best WiFi standard to be rolled out for mass-market use. WiFi 6 provides support for a higher density of connections at faster throughput. It delivers wireless connectivity with no contention, no waiting, or degradation in performance when large numbers of users connect. The faster speeds it offers make WiFi 6 the perfect choice for the environments outlined above.

Deploying Zyxel WiFi 6 access points dramatically improves the experience that wireless network users experience. For example:

·??????????Increases the capacity of a wireless network by between 200 and 500%.

·??????????Faster connections that are as much as 25% faster for each user.

·??????????Smoother and clear voice and video calls, conference sessions and streaming. An important consideration, given the emerging hybrid and remote working landscape.

These Zyxel WiFi 6 features deliver a consistent wireless network experience for every user, no matter how many devices are connected. As a result, those users will associate a good WiFi experience with the organisation and continue to use their premises and services in the future.

Zyxel Networks Have Solutions for All Requirements

Zyxel Networks has a complete range of access points and management software available to MSPs and organisations looking to boost their WiFi provision for customers and staff. The?Zyxel WiFi 6 solutions ?web page outlines the entire range.?

One feature that exists on the entry-level Zyxel WiFi 6 access points (such as the NWA90AX) is the ability to set up four separate WiFi networks. This allows separate WiFi networks to exist for customers, staff, point-of-sale terminals, or some other reason unique to a business. These different networks enable traffic to be separated and for the multiple WiFi networks to coexist without impacting each other or causing connection issues. These features also exist on the top of the range of Zyxel Networks access points, of course.

For MSPs who are deploying managed WiFi networks across a number of clients, the Zyxel Networks access points support cloud-based management. Meaning that MSPs can support their clients remotely and, if required, hardware can be shipped to the client and then configured without a site visit.
