Zyxel USG FLEX H series

Overview

Zyxel’s USG FLEX H series is a fanless small-business firewall range managed locally or through the Nebula cloud platform. According to the January 2026 datasheet, the USG FLEX 50H has five gigabit ports, 2,000 Mbps SPI firewall throughput, 1,000 Mbps IPS, 600 Mbps UTM (anti-malware and IPS) and 500 Mbps VPN; the 100H has eight ports, 4,000 Mbps firewall, 1,500 Mbps IPS, 1,000 Mbps UTM and 900 Mbps VPN; and the rack-mountable 200H adds two 2.5 GbE ports with 6,500 Mbps firewall and 1,800 Mbps UTM^[13]. The datasheet also lists concurrent SSL VPN users (15, 25 and 50 respectively) and HP variants with a 30 W PoE+ port^[13]. Zyxel publishes speedtest-style real-world figures alongside lab numbers, showing roughly 930 Mbps on a gigabit internet link. Security is licensed through packs such as the Gold Security Pack, and priority support depends on licence level^[13]. Licence packs determine which security services are active, so buyers should price hardware and packs together.
