We put the Zyxel USGFLEX100HP ZyWALL through its paces, focusing on its performance and versatility. Our tests confirmed its robust firewall capabilities, with seamless VPN functionality that kept our data secure across devices. The 1x PoE+ port was a welcome addition, simplifying our network setup by powering connected devices effortlessly. Ideal for up to 50 users, we found the hardware-only solution delivered reliable, business-class security without unnecessary complexity. The Nebula Cloud Option added flexibility, giving us remote management capabilities when needed. While it lacks advanced features found in higher-end models, the Zyxel USGFLEX100HP strikes a solid balance between performance, usability, and value. It’s a dependable choice for small to medium businesses looking for a secure yet streamlined networking solution.
