Zyxel SCR 50AXE Secure Cloud-managed Router Review – A Nebula cloud-managed WiFi 6E router with advanced security

It has been a while since I reviewed any Zyxel Nebula devices, but for the past few years, they have been the main cloud-managed networking ecosystem I have used, though I have flip-flopped between this, EnGenius, Netgear Insight and Ubiquiti.

Netgear Orbi 960 now available as a standalone quad-band WiFi 6E router for £700

Last year I reviewed the amazing but extraordinarily expensive Netgear Orbi RBKE963. It is the first and only quad-band WiFi 6E mesh system on the market (there are some quad-band routers) and therefore offers the best performance compared to anything else out there.
