Zyxel secures small businesses with latest subscription-free WiFi 6E router

The SCR 50AXE router brings security, WiFi 6E, and cloud management together in one device, offering a simple and affordable solution to running small business networks

April 17, 2023 — Zyxel Networks, a leader in delivering secure and cloud-powered networking solutions, has announced the release of its new SCR 50AXE - AXE5400 Tri-band WiFi 6E Secure Cloud-managed Router. The device is designed for home office users and small business owners looking for a network with best-in-class security and superfast WiFi.

In today’s threat landscape, businesses must invest in robust wireless network security to prevent unauthorized users from accessing their networks. While there are many security and WiFi devices currently on the market, small businesses and home office workers often struggle to find a cost-effective network management option that is simple, fast, secure, and easy to manage. The SCR 50AXE addresses this, by bringing together everything needed in a small business network in one device, at an affordable price.

Subscription-free network security

The SCR 50AXE has been designed with security in mind, offering firewall protection, country restrictions, IPsec VPN and, guest SSID, all without any extra subscription or licensing costs. Comprehensive, built-in threat management features help protect small businesses from ransomware, malware, mail fraud, phishing, intrusion, exploitation, and other attacks, using reputation-based technologies that deliver on performance while consuming less computing power.

Users looking for even more security and management options can choose to opt-in to the SCR Pro Pack license, including real-time threat intelligence insights, web filtering (DNS) powered by Trellix, 30-day log retention, AI-assisted smart network management, and more.

All threat management features are presented in a security dashboard showing threat insights and providing information on how devices connected to the router are behaving.

Superfast WiFi, simply managed

Alongside comprehensive security measures, the SCR 50AXE also includes the latest tri-band AXE5400 WiFi 6E. This grants businesses access to 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies, as well as the newly opened 6GHz radio with super-wide channels. This allows them to take advantage of maximum speeds and low latency across multiple connections simultaneously.

Additionally, the SCR 50AXE is cloud-native and can be managed through Zyxel’s Nebula platform. Through the Nebula app, customers can finish onboarding the SCR 50AXE in just a few clicks and designate the WiFi name for the whole network, including the router and any additional access points. The app also allows users to seamlessly manage their connectivity and security from anywhere, via a single pane of glass, and receive an up-to-date view of their network security posture at a glance.

Mr. Ken Tsai, Associate Vice President of Zyxel Gateway SBU, says, “The small business market is often overlooked when it comes to network security and management, so we are proud to be offering an affordable solution that brings the best of both together in one device. Combining best-in-class security, superfast WiFi, and cloud management, the SCR 50AXE is the perfect solution for businesses looking to simplify their network management without sacrificing security or quality.”
