ZyXEL Next Generation VPN Firewall with 1 WAN, 1 SFP, 4 LAN/DMZ Gigabit Ports, and 802.11ac/n WiFi

The Zyxel Next-Generation VPN Firewall combines powerful security, high-speed networking, and flexible connectivity in a compact, comprehensive device ideal for offices, small businesses, branch locations, and hybrid work environments. At its core is a next-generation firewall that protects your network from external threats by inspecting traffic, enforcing policies, and blocking malicious activity, helping ensure data integrity and system uptime.

Equipped with one WAN port for internet connectivity and one SFP port for fibre uplinks, this device supports fast, reliable connections to your service provider or upstream infrastructure. With four Gigabit LAN ports, multiple devices can be securely connected on the local network, and the dedicated DMZ port allows you to host public-facing services such as websites or mail servers while isolating them from your internal systems for enhanced security.

The built-in 802.11ac/n Wi-Fi expands connectivity for wireless clients, offering strong performance for laptops, phones, and IoT devices without the need for a separate access point. Additionally, robust VPN functionality enables secure remote access for off-site employees and secure site-to-site tunnels between branches, ensuring encrypted communication and safe data flow across locations.

Thanks to intuitive management tools, administrators can easily configure firewall rules, monitor traffic, and adjust settings with minimal complexity. Whether you’re safeguarding critical business assets, enabling secure remote access, or connecting wired and wireless clients, this Zyxel firewall provides a versatile and reliable foundation for your network.
