Frequently Asked Questions

• Which Nomadix gateway is right for my property — EG 1000, EG 3000, or EG 6000?

  Choose EG 1000 for small-to-mid properties handling a few hundred concurrent guests and basic QoS needs, EG 3000 for mid‑to‑large properties with up to around 3,000 clients, and EG 6000 when you need very high‑density throughput and multi‑property or venue‑scale capacity. All EG series support per‑device bandwidth shaping, VLANs and hotel integrations; pick the model that matches your expected concurrent device count and required aggregate throughput.
• How many APs and clients can the Nomadix WLAN Controller AC 1LA manage, and how does it scale?

  The WLAN Controller AC 1LA supports up to 224 APs and about 6,400 clients with an aggregate forwarding capacity around 8 Gbps, and it can cluster for high availability. Controllers can virtualize and fail over so APs continue servicing guests if a controller is interrupted, and multiple controllers can be combined for larger properties or campus deployments.
• What guest management, security, and integration features do Nomadix gateways and Nomadix Cloud provide?

  Nomadix gateways offer per‑device shaping, QoS, role‑based VLANs, RADIUS/PMS/authentication options, guest isolation, and attack prevention, while Nomadix Cloud gives fleet dashboards, firmware management, audit logs, and PMS/telephony integration. Together they enable captive portal workflows, Passpoint onboarding, and centralized policy enforcement across properties.
• How does the EG 3000 compare to the EG 6000 for high‑density venues?

  The EG 3000 is a mid‑tier gateway optimized for large single properties (up to ~3,000 clients) with strong QoS and session handling, whereas the EG 6000 is engineered for very high‑density venues and multi‑site deployments with higher aggregate throughput and scalability. Both integrate with Nomadix Cloud for centralized monitoring and support per‑device bandwidth controls, so choose the 6000 when sustained multi‑gig performance and extreme client density are expected.
• Which Nomadix access point types (Wi‑Fi 6 indoor/outdoor/wall‑plate) are best for rooms, lobbies, and outdoor areas?

  Use wall‑plate Wi‑Fi 6 APs in guest rooms to conserve space and provide consistent in‑room performance, ceiling‑mount or omnidirectional indoor Wi‑Fi 6 APs for lobbies and common areas to handle high client density and streaming, and weather‑rated outdoor Wi‑Fi 6 APs for patios and pool areas. Match antenna patterns and PoE switch capacity to expected density, and manage all APs centrally with Nomadix Cloud for RF optimization and firmware control.
