Add feature to allow turning off 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands on individual AP's.
Currently, the 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands can only be turned off at SSID level, for all access points. Being able to turn off individual bands on individual AP's is a critical feature that is available on most enterprise WIFI products in order to solve 2.4ghz/5ghz intereference.
If we're trying to reduce interference and we can't stop an AP from broadcasting individual bands, there's nothing we can do. Support mentioned splitting the SSID into two separate 2.4ghz and 5ghz SSID but this is not possible due to the following:
Nebula only allows for 8 SSIDs. I currently have 4 and splitting them would effectively stop me from creating any temporary SSID's that we use (For example, Summer school).
Nebula only allows the creation of 1 SSID with guest vouchers enabled - meaning I wouldn't even be able to split the guest wifi to 2.4 and 5ghz SSIDs.
Adding hardware monitor SNMP features on Layer 2 smart managed switches.
In response to the requirements raised by user @FlamencoAssassin , we propose integrating SNMP-based hardware monitoring capabilities into our Layer 2 smart managed switches.
This suggestion originated from the discussion found here: SNMP hardware monitoring of XS1930-12HP and XGS1930-28HP switches — Zyxel Community

Re: Joining Beta Program, here and now!
I think this is a GREAT opportunity but I think that to ensure a strong beta that we should be receiving devices that we need and can use. For example I was sent a Flex 100H with zero knowledge it was coming and that device just doesn't work for my setup. I would need at the very least a Flex 500H so I can have a 2.5G network and POE power to my two Zyxel APs. I think maybe some communication with the Beta testers to ensure we can get hardware that we want/need to use so that we can make this Beta strong is a must.
Thoughts?
Sincerely,
Jason
Re: Flex H, a rant
You've got a nice list, here :-/ and unfortunately, it's still only the cap of the iceberg. We're fighting with one of those devices at a customer's site, too, and whatever comes to your mind to get things going: "sorry, you cannot do that!". 😠
USG FLEX H models: security services by policy
USGFLEX/ATP models support a feature that could be switched to inspection by policy ("secure-policy-style advance").
However, USGFLEX H models do not support this feature currently.

Re: GS1920-24/48HPv2 and Unifi AC Lite. Any PoE Interoperability Issues?
In case anyone is looking for the same info some time in the future…
Both the 24 and 48 port Zyxel GS1920HPv2 work fine with multiple Unifi AC Lite APs (but only the newer "802.3af compatible" version). They should work fine with the AC LR models as well (again the 802.3af versions). The above mentioned "force 802.3AT" setting is not needed. If you are running these APs, do yourself a favour and stay away from Aruba Instant On 1830 (and 1430) series switches, and buy the Zyxels instead.
USG FLEX H models: security services by policy?
The previous ATP and USG FLEX models could be switched to inspection by policy ("secure-policy-style advance") instead of using IP exception to exclude the unwanted services.
The table in Firmware Release Note V1.10 doesn't mention this feature as not yet supported, but I haven't found it nonetheless. Is the function really missing?
SAML authentication / Nebula Cloud authentication
WPA Enterprise with "Nebula Cloud authentication", authenticated by eg. Azure AD
Printable infosheet for rack
I think it would be really smart and easy to make a button where you print out a piece of paper you can put on inside of the rack panel, with a picture of the switch and port roles populated. That makes it easier to see what each port are for, without having to access nebula or switch to look it up.
All info is there already, all you need is a function to generate a printable page/pdf.
Below is just an example, but i think the following things could be relevant:
ID/Port numer
Vlan type(with name?) , like Vlan10:Office , or Trunk(20,30)or Trunk(All)
Location:What port is connected (already known from the port configuration , if used)
LLDP info (also known ,atleast at time of print)
Last up: When was something connected to this port last time(when you run out of ports and decide what to unplug because you arent exactly sure because of poor documentation)
So when you make a change to port roles , you print out a new sheet and hang up, and ofcourse stamped with "time of print" .
That would add a proffesional touch, lets be honest, not all rack documentation is updated or even prest, this could be a great tool to help on that !
