What it is
The Zyxel USG-LITE 60AX is a wired router designed for small office or branch environments. It supports Ethernet LAN speeds up to 2.5 Gbit/s and can handle up to 20,000 concurrent connections.
Who it's for
This router suits organisations needing reliable, faster-than-gigabit LAN speeds with basic security features like guest access and port forwarding. It’s a fit where wired connections and straightforward traffic management are priorities.
Why it's good
It supports 2.5GBase-T connections alongside traditional 1G and 100M Ethernet, providing flexibility for mixed speed networks. Auto MDI/MDI-X avoids cabling issues and guest access controls help segment your network effectively.
When to choose it
Select this router if your setup requires wired 2.5G connectivity plus manageable security and you don’t need more than about 20,000 simultaneous connections. It’s a practical step-up without overshooting capacity or cost.
