Product Description
WAP3205 is more than just another 300Mbps access point, it's a multifunction 11n tool that can be used in a variety of scenarios. In addition to Access Point mode, it can also be a Universal Wireless Repeater, extending the range of your existing network. Unlike other repeaters, the WAP3205's extender mode works with the latest WPA/WPA2 security technologies, so security doesn't have to suffer when extending your network. The WAP3205 also has the ability to function as a wireless bridge, allowing you to connect non-wireless network compatible devices to your existing network. Simply plug in your Ethernet based TIVO, Smart TV, Blue Ray player, network storage device (NAS), or game system into the WAP3205, and it can now join your wireless network. No software or drivers to be installed. With an 11n compatible data transfer rate of up to 300Mbps*, which is 6 times faster than 11g, you can enjoy high-speed network connection and high-definition video streaming with no jitters or dropped calls. It also works with your existing 802.11b and 802.11g network devices. Some wired devices such as modems, set-top boxes, digital media adapters and storage devices might not be natively wireless capable. In order to connect these without additional wiring, driver installation or configuration, just plug the Ethernet cable into the WAP3205 and connect to another wired device to get connected wirelessly. With the built-in Universal Repeater mode, WAP3205 can connect to most popular access points or wireless routers while simultaneously acting as an access point to provide wireless connectivity to all other wireless devices such as notebooks. In other words, WAP3205 can extend the wireless coverage to the entire home premise and enable all wireless devices to link to the existing network this is especially helpful for larger home environments. Since this is all done wirelessly, there is no need to run additional Ethernet cables to extend your network

283 of 286 people found the following review helpful:  Works very well, but is a bit confusing to setup., By This review is from: ZyXEL 300 Mbps Wireless N Access Point, Ethernet Client, Universal Repeater, and Range Extender (WAP3205) (Personal Computers) Once you have it setup it works flawlessy. Problem is setting it up for the first time. Documentation is not user friendly to the non-tech savvy. I'm using it as a wireless bridge / access point with my Sony blue-ray player. I already have a Linksys wireless router using WEP encryption (forced to use this because my XBOX 360 doesn't support WPA). To make it easy for others doing the same thing use the following steps:
1. Change your pc or laptop's ethernet adapter's IP address to 192.168.1.3 To do this on Vista or Windows 7 you open you network sharing center then you open your ethernet LAN adapter settings (or manage network connections in Vista). Select the Internet protocol v4 (IPv4) and go into properties. Manually put in the IP address with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and don't worry about the gateway address. 2. Connect your WAP3205 to your pc/laptop with the ethernet cable that is provided. Of course make sure you plugged in the power to...Read more 102 of 102 people found the following review helpful:  Powerful but poorly documented, Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: ZyXEL 300 Mbps Wireless N Access Point, Ethernet Client, Universal Repeater, and Range Extender (WAP3205) (Personal Computers) This is an impressive piece of networking gear, particularly for the price. It has a great deal of functionality, some of it unusual. However, I have to warn you: the documentation is terrible. When the other reviewers said the documentation is poor, boy, they weren't kidding.
The Zyxel can be configured to act as an access point, wireless client, or universal repeater. Let me explain these modes: => If you already have (wired) Internet access (e.g., DSL or a cable modem), you can connect the Zyxel in access point mode, and then you'll be able to connect to the Internet via the wireless network from throughout your home. This is probably the most common use of this kind of gear, and for this purpose, the Zyxel will probably do the trick just fine. => If you already have a wireless network set up in your home, and you want to connect another device (e.g., a gaming console) to the wireless network, but the other device doesn't itself have...Read more 41 of 41 people found the following review helpful:  Broad functionality, low cost, difficult to set up, By Boulder Buyer (Lafayette, CO) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: ZyXEL 300 Mbps Wireless N Access Point, Ethernet Client, Universal Repeater, and Range Extender (WAP3205) (Personal Computers) Great router for the price. I purchased this to install a wireless bridge to my kids XBOX 360 in the basement (I chose to avoid the wiring). The router is roughly 1/2 the price of the XBOX 360 wireless receiver, and has extra ports to allow future expansion for things like Blu-Ray or other devices. I also figured I could use the universal repeater mode to extend our wireless signal further throughout the house. The setup was difficult though. All computers in my home are wireless, which meant that the ethernet ports that the router required were on a different IP / subnet than expected by the router for initial setup. In the end, I had to disable my wireless card on an XP machine, set the IP address / subnet of the ethernet card by hand to 192.168.1.3 / 255.255.255.0 to be able to talk to the router (note - the how-to on this IS in the documentation). Once I was able to "log onto" the router, I used the documentation to set it up in "client mode" (wireless bridge mode). I then...Read more |
