Editorial note

The ZyXEL USG 20 stands out for its impressive performance, offering a data transfer rate of 1 Gbit/s and a throughput of 10/100/1000 Mbps. This ensures fast and efficient communication, ideal for users with high network demands. Additionally, security is enhanced through advanced algorithms such as 3DES and DES, as well as an integrated firewall, effectively protecting against online threats. However, some drawbacks must be considered. The lack of built-in Wi-Fi limits usage flexibility, forcing users to rely on wired connections. Furthermore, VPN support is restricted to IPSec and SSL, which may not satisfy those looking for more recent security protocols. The limited number of USB ports, with only one port available, can also pose a problem for users wanting to connect multiple devices simultaneously. In terms of design, the ZyXEL USG 20 is compact and lightweight, with dimensions that facilitate its integration into various workspaces. However, its operating temperature range (0 - 40 °C) may not be suitable for more extreme environments, thus limiting its use. Finally, the value for money is fair, although the renewal of the software license after one year may incur additional costs. Overall, the ZyXEL USG 20 is a solid choice for those seeking robust performance and security, but it may not be suitable for all users due to its limitations in connectivity and environment.
