ZTE Launches Nebula BE3600 Pro+ Wi-Fi 7 Router With Dual 2.5G Ports and Mesh Support
ZTE has launched the Nebula BE3600 Pro+ router in China, a dual-band Wi-Fi 7 model that brings multi-gigabit Ethernet ports and easy mesh networking to budget-conscious households.
The router went on sale today through JD.com at 369 yuan, or about 54 dollars.
The Nebula BE3600 Pro+ delivers theoretical speeds of up to 3600 Mbps across its 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
It incorporates multi-link operation, or MLO, which allows devices to use multiple frequency bands simultaneously for lower latency and greater reliability in crowded environments.
The router also supports 4K QAM modulation to pack more data into each transmission.
Hardware inside the unit centers on a fourth-generation enterprise-grade chipset with a six-core design that splits two cores for CPU duties and four for neural processing.
Five front-end module amplifiers and third-generation antennas handle signal strength, improving penetration through walls and cutting interference for broader coverage in typical apartments or small houses.
On the wired side the router supplies two 2.5-gigabit Ethernet ports alongside a pair of standard gigabit LAN ports.
Users can configure the 2.5G ports for dual WAN connections to support load balancing, automatic failover or link aggregation.
The setup accepts broadband plans up to 2000 Mbps and includes IPTV multiplexing that lets a single cable carry both internet and television traffic.
ZTE designed the Nebula BE3600 Pro+ for straightforward whole-home expansion.
Owners can add compatible ZTE routers with a single tap in the companion app to form a mesh network.
The device also functions as a wireless access point when paired with gear from other manufacturers.
An NFC tag on the router enables password-free pairing for Android phones.
Management runs through the ZTE Smart Life app, which includes an AI tool that suggests optimal placement for the router and satellites.
Parents gain controls over device access schedules and usage limits.
The router further offers IPv6 compatibility and dedicated gaming acceleration to prioritize traffic for online play.
Durability testing spanned more than 40,000 hours of continuous operation along with repeated cycles of temperature, voltage and power stress.
The company positions the Nebula BE3600 Pro+ as a practical upgrade path for users moving from older Wi-Fi standards while keeping costs low.
The launch arrives as several Chinese brands push affordable Wi-Fi 7 hardware into the domestic market.
ZTE lists the router exclusively on JD.com for now, with no immediate word on international availability.
