Very good Wi-Fi access point
The Zyxel NWA210AX Wi-Fi access point offers, in my conditions of use, good coverage of my home with an optimal link speed: 780 to 866 Mb/s with an Intel MacBook Pro operating in 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) 2x2 mode (2 active antennae out of the 3) on channel 100 (part of the 5 GHz band where the maximum power authorised in France is the highest). This is true even at a distance of more than ten metres from the terminal with a partition. Of course, the actual throughput is always lower than the throughput of the physical link. Only my mobile phone supports 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) and does not allow me to make a reliable assessment. Similarly, throughput inevitably drops, but reasonably, when multiple partitions are crossed. It should be noted that this access point operates in 2x2 mode (2 streams) in the 2.4 GHz band (channels 1 to 13) and in 4x4 mode (4 streams) in the 5 GHz band (channels 36 to 64 and 100 to 140). In addition, it comes with a power adapter which can be useful for those who do not have or do not want to purchase a POE+ injector.
The performance and coverage of this access bridge are much better, still in my conditions of use, than those of the Netgear WAX620 and D-Link DAP-X2850 that I was able to test but which have the advantage of operating in 4x4 mode (4 streams) in the 2.4 GHz band.
Thanks to LDLC's services, which are always excellent, I exchanged it for the Zyxel WAX610D model, whose basic design is the same but which has a maximum power of 25 dBm (~316 mW) instead of 22 dBm (~158 mW), allowing for even better coverage (for information, and if my memory is good, the maximum power authorised in France on channels 100 to 140 is 500 mW, or ~27 dBm, and 200 mW, or ~23 dBm, on channels 36 to 64)
