Thankfully, there's NebulaFlex, a desktop and mobile application that enables you to manage your entire network at the click of a button, anytime and anywhere. There's no complicated software to install, or additional hardware. Instead, a variety of Zyxel standalone access points to be managed via the cloud without any monthly or annual fees using the Nebula Cloud Networking and Management Solution. Speaking of which, NebulaFlex enhances the versatility of Zyxel access points by enabling them to be managed individually on the premises as a traditional standalone access point, or from anywhere via the cloud utilizing the Nebula Control Center.
