WPA2 Enterprise Certified 
ZyXEL WAC6500 series has been certified with industrial-
strength WPA2 enterprise protection and has the 
wide-range support of Extensible Authentication 
Protocol (EAP) types. It can be seamlessly integrated with 
corporate RADIUS servers.
ZyXEL ONE Network Utility
To streamline the management process, the WAC6500 
series comes with the ZyXEL ONE Network (ZON) utility, 
allowing administrators to assign IP addresses to multiple 
APs through just one platform. Administrators can avoid 
the hassle logging into each AP to change the default IP 
addresses before physical installation.
ZyXEL AP Configurator
While deploying a number of APs, repetitive 
configuration of each unit takes time and effort. ZyXEL AP 
Configurator (ZAC) builds templates that allow users to 
copy one profile to several APs, allowing batch firmware 
upgrades and profile backups in three easy steps to 
significantly reduce configuration time and effort.
ZyXEL Wireless Optimizer
ZyXEL Wireless Optimizer (ZWO) provides a powerful 
tool for centralized management covering initial 
planning, adjustment during deployment and after-sale 
maintenance of an AP network. Architects can simulate 
AP deployment on a map displaying the number of APs 
needed. During deployment, ZWO will also map actual 
signal coverage for architects to adjust their AP locations 
or configurations. After-sale, network administrators can 
access key performance details from ZWO, including 
channel in use, transmit retry rate and frame error rate, 
as well as the devices on the environment map. ZWO’s 
user-friendly presentation saves time and facilitates quick 
response to the network problems.
ZyMESH*
Wireless Mesh is an array of access points automatically 
forming dynamic wireless links. Built on this foundation of 
mesh networking, ZyMESH is ZyXEL’s proprietary protocol 
for creating wireless mesh links for easy configuration, 
optimized management and enhanced reliability.
*ZyMESH feature on WAC6500 series will be available in future release
