The Multy series from the Taiwanese manufacturer Zyxel includes mesh routers of medium and high class. With the help of two or three similar devices, the user can create a seamless network with a large area of Wi-Fi coverage. The beauty of such a network is that each router is an independent node, and switching between them occurs automatically. Against the background of other inexpensive mesh systems, the Multy line stands out for more serious network coverage and additional features like a three-band operation mode. And their total channel bandwidth in the most advanced models can reach 3000 Mbit/s.


The model range is clearly divided into classes — at the lower levels there are simple access points and mesh systems Multy Mini and Multy U with six built-in antennas, gigabit LAN ports and support for Wi-Fi 5 networks. In the middle of the food chain, there is a more serious Zyxel Multy X router with an increased number of antennas, three gigabit LAN ports and a Beamforming signal amplifier. Well, the formal head of the family is an advanced mesh router Multy Plus with nine long―range antennas, a built-in DHCP server and an expanded bandwidth of up to 2600 Mbit/s at a frequency of 5 Hz. Like other mesh systems, Multy devices are sold singly or in sets of two and three pieces.

Zyxel Multy routers are sold singly, or in sets of two or three pieces. All of them support three frequency bands, two of which are allocated for connected devices, and the third is used for internal communication with each other. The network can be organized in both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands with a maximum bandwidth from 867 to 3000 Mbit/s. Auxiliary capabilities usually include multiple LAN ports, a built-in Bluetooth receiver, MU-MIMO integration, and support for the Alexa voice assistant.
