Zyxel Outdoor Wi-fi access point installation for a mansion house

The Challenge

Vibrant Networks was appointed to design and install a bespoke outdoor Wi‑Fi solution for a large private residence in the West Midlands. The project covered a substantial 60 x 70 metre garden area, requiring seamless, secure connectivity throughout the outdoor space.

In addition to performance requirements, the client had specific aesthetic considerations. The property featured anthracite exterior fixtures and fittings, meaning standard white outdoor Wi‑Fi access points would have been visually intrusive.

Placement was also a key challenge. Access points needed to deliver full coverage across both front and rear gardens while remaining discreet and unobtrusive, preserving the appearance of the property.

The Solution

To address the visual requirements, Vibrant Networks customised the Zyxel outdoor Wi‑Fi access points, colour matching them to the anthracite exterior of the property. This ensured the solution blended seamlessly into the environment without compromising performance.

Our engineers carried out a professional wireless site survey using NetAlly Fluke testing equipment to assess signal strength, security, and coverage across all outdoor areas. A detailed Wi‑Fi heat map was produced, allowing precise access point placement to be planned before installation.

For optimal coverage:
  • A larger outdoor access point was installed centrally at the rear of the property
  • Smaller outdoor access points were positioned discreetly at the front of the house
  • This design delivered consistent, secure Wi‑Fi coverage across the entire garden, enabling reliable internet access, including support for electric vehicle software updates.

To underpin performance and security, Vibrant Networks also supplied:
  • A 1Gb leased line for high speed, dedicated connectivity
  • A Zyxel ATP 500 next generation firewall for advanced network protection
  • Zyxel GS1920 PoE HP V2 switches to securely power and manage both indoor and outdoor access points

The outdoor Wi‑Fi infrastructure is capable of supporting up to 250 concurrent guest connections, making it suitable for both private and high capacity usage scenarios.

All network components form part of the Zyxel Nebula cloud managed platform, allowing the entire Wi‑Fi network and security infrastructure to be monitored, managed, and updated remotely via the cloud.
