The USG LITE 60AX is Zyxel’s latest secure small business router. As with other Zyxel appliances, the hardware and software setup is straightforward. The device includes two 2.5G Ethernet ports, four 1G ports, and a 4x4 Wi-Fi 6 radio. It connects seamlessly to the Nebula mobile app through the WAN, providing control and status of the network over the cloud.
Under the hood, a Quad-core ARM CPU with one gigabyte of RAM guarantees excellent packet processing times even with multiple clients connected to the unit. The firewall does not provide a serial console port, while status LEDs at the back hinder troubleshooting as they are hidden. The plastic unit can topple easily when many connections are made to the backports. The lack of mounting holes and heat dissipation vents means the firewall can only be placed on a flat surface.
