BE9300 6-Stream WiFi 7 Triple-Radio NebulaFlex Access Point

NWA90BE MAX

Frequently Asked Questions

The Zyxel NWA90BE MAX delivers combined WiFi 7 speeds of up to 9.3Gbps (BE9300), using 2x2 radios on each of the 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz bands with channel widths up to 320MHz.

Yes. The NWA90BE MAX includes one 1/2.5GbE Multi-Gig LAN port, so the wired uplink can keep pace with WiFi 7 wireless speeds without re-cabling to 10G.

Yes. The NWA90BE MAX is a true triple-radio access point that runs 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz simultaneously, giving 6GHz-capable devices a fast, uncongested band while older devices stay connected on 2.4GHz and 5GHz.

Yes. The NWA90BE MAX supports MLO and Smart Mesh MLO with tri-radio backhaul, which links access points wirelessly across all three bands for higher bandwidth, lower latency and cable-free deployment.

Yes. The NWA90BE MAX is fully backwards compatible, supporting IEEE 802.11be/ax/ac/n/g/b/a — so WiFi 7, WiFi 6/6E, WiFi 5 and older devices can all connect to the same access point.

Yes. The NWA90BE MAX includes a captive portal for branded guest WiFi login pages and IEEE 802.1X/RADIUS authentication for per-user staff access, alongside WPA3 encryption, L2 isolation, MAC filtering and rogue AP detection. These business security features are what distinguish it from the NWA50BE MAX.

Yes. The NWA90BE MAX supports 802.11r/k/v fast roaming with pre-authentication and PMK caching, so phones and laptops hand over smoothly between access points during calls and video meetings.

The NWA90BE MAX can be powered by PoE (IEEE 802.3at, 15W power draw) or by USB-C (USB PD, 15V/2A). For full wireless performance use 802.3at or 802.3bt PoE. IEEE 802.3af is not supported.

No. The NWA90BE MAX is an access point, not a router - it adds fast WiFi 7 to an existing network and requires a router or gateway for internet access, DHCP and firewall functions.

No. The NWA90BE MAX is a NebulaFlex access point: manage it free of charge through the Zyxel Nebula cloud (app or web portal) or locally in standalone mode, and switch between the two at any time at no extra cost.

Yes. The NWA90BE MAX supports VLANs for separating networks (for example, staff and guest traffic) as well as IPv6, WMM quality of service, and band steering.

No. The NWA90BE MAX uses Zyxel Smart Mesh, which is not interoperable with EasyMesh, Open Mesh or WDS-based systems. To build a mesh network, pair it with other Zyxel Smart Mesh-compatible access points.

Mount the NWA90BE MAX on the ceiling or high on a wall, centrally in the area to be covered, away from metal obstructions — it is an indoor model (0°C to 50°C). It is ideal for small businesses with staff and guest WiFi, such as offices, shops, cafés and clinics, and multiple units can be meshed to cover larger or multi-floor spaces.

Each unit measures 200 x 155 x 36mm and weighs 576g — roughly the size of a paperback book. The compact, low-profile form factor with integrated antennas means there are no protruding components. Mounting screws are included in the box, and the design supports both wall and pole mounting, making it straightforward to position units for optimal line of sight.

For high-density environments or advanced requirements, step up to a higher-tier Zyxel WiFi 7 access point: the NWA130BE (BE11000, dual 2.5GbE ports) for busier workplaces, the WBE530 (NebulaFlex Pro, controller support) for managed business networks, or the flagship WBE660S (BE22000, 10G uplink) for enterprise-grade, high-density deployments.
