The new firmware now validates 10 Gbps speeds
using Speedtest with Zyxel’s EX7710 Multi-Gigabit Ethernet
Gateway
Zyxel Communications, an industry-leading provider of secure
broadband networking, Internet access and connected home products,
announced today new firmware that validates 10Gbps internet testing
for its latest Wi-Fi 6E Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Gateway, the EX7710.
The EX7710 is the industry’s first 10Gbps product to be certified
by OpenSync® and remains the only 10G gateway to show multi-gig
speeds on OpenSync’s HomePass and WorkPass apps.
The EX7710 utilizes Speedtest Embedded™ by Ookla as a trusted
solution for measuring bandwidth. However, during the certification
process, internet testing could not leverage the EX7710's hardware
accelerator, resulting in a capped testing speed of 5 Gbps, despite
the product's capability of achieving 10 Gbps. To address this,
Zyxel developed a firmware patch, now available on the OpenSync
cloud, that validates the device's actual throughput.
“This new firmware marks the culmination of our efforts to
accurately reflect the 10Gpbs speeds for ISPs using our devices,”
stated Brian Feng, Senior VP at Zyxel Communications. "The
lightning-fast speed on the EX7710 enables more subscribers to
enjoy superior connectivity with extremely low latency."
Speedtest Embedded measures the characteristics of the
communication network between a device and multiple servers using
their global server network. However, not all public servers can
reach 10 Gbps. Ookla offers the option to test exclusively on a
company's servers through the OpenSync platform, providing
organizations with a better understanding of their specific
network's internet performance.
For additional information on Speedtest Embedded™ by Ookla and
testing using company’s own servers, please contact
