These routers are tailored for both residential and small-to-medium business environments, providing high-speed internet access that leverages the power of fiber-optic technology.

One of the standout features of ZyXEL's wireless active fiber router is its support for ultra-fast broadband connections. By utilizing fiber optics, the router can deliver significantly higher data rates compared to traditional copper-based connections.
