I originally wanted to set this up for gaming evenings. Unfortunately, nothing ever materialised. And that's why the router was never used. In its original packaging and with protective film.

Product details

The ZyXEL Armor Z1 AC2350 Dual-Band Wireless Router is ready for the next generation of Wi-Fi. With its 802.11ac Wave 2 chipset, it supports speeds of up to 2,350 Mbps.

Design Follows Performance
The Armor Z1 from ZyXEL owes its name to its futuristic design. A plain product name would not do justice to its impressive appearance. However, the design is just the packaging for absolute high-end performance: The AC wireless technology achieves a maximum speed of 1,733 Mbps with four simultaneous streams. Additionally, there are four N-streams available with a total of 600 Mbps. Thanks to ZyXEL's experience in the security sector, the Armor Z1 is equipped with a high-quality firewall.

Mobile Configuration
The Wi-Fi router can also be configured using a smartphone or tablet. For this purpose, the Armor Z1 offers a simplified GUI specifically designed for mobile devices to facilitate easy setup.

  • PositiveSehr gute Datendurchsätze
  • NegativeKein DSL-Modem

Der Zyxel NBG6816 kann im Test zwar in keinem Bereich einen Bestwert setzen, überzeugt aber mit einem tollen Gesamtbild: Die Datendurchsätze sind dank vier verbauter Antennen sehr gut und die Ausstattung mit zwei USB-3.0-Ports und vielen Netzwerkfunktionen kann sich sehen lassen. Ein DSL-Modem müssen Sie allerdings extra kaufen.

Zyxel NBG6816: etwas hakelig im Setup, gute Performance, MU-MIMO und funktionierendes IPv6 sind für das nächste Firmware-Update versprochen.
