The gateway features a metallic gray box with a plastic front and with a couple of red accents on the left and right side which are characteristic to the series. If you’re familiar with Zyxel USG40 (or the newer NSG50), the USG Flex 100 has pretty much the same design and it’s no surprise since the USG Flex 100 is also known as USG40v2.
Update: The Zyxel USG Flex 100 can now be used with the Nebula Cloud management and you can check a more in-depth analysis here. IMPORTANT: It was found that the USG series running the ZLD v4.60 is vulnerable to third-party attacks ( a backdoor account was discovered), so you should immediately update the device to get the latest patch that fixes this vulnerability. It’s an acronym for Flexible and it refers to the subscription plans which are more flexible: the user can either choose single license configurations or migrate unexpired ones from older USG devices.īesides the Zyxel USG Flex 100, the manufacturer has also made available the Flex 200 and Flex 500 which are a bit more faster and have a higher variety of ports – while the rest of the devices from the series have more than one WAN port, the Flex 100 seems to be the only member to come with a single WAN port (it does have an SFP port and support for 3G/4G modems, as well as the OPT port, all with the potential of functioning as an additional WAN interface). Of course, the internal hardware has been improved (to meet the exigence of 2020) and yes, the SSL, IPsec and L2TP-based VPNs are still there (as well as the large amount of customization), but why call it FLEX?
