Latest Wireless N Technology Enhances Performance and Coverage
The ZyXEL WAP3205 brings you a faster wireless connection than the existing 11g networks. With a 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 no matter where you are at home, and better yet, it also works with your existing 802.11b and 802.11g network.

Easy to Expand Your Network Wirelessly
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.

Extend Wireless Network Coverage with Any Existing AP
With the built-in Universal Repeater mode, the WAP3205 can work as a wireless client to connect any existing access points, and simultaneously performs 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.

Multiple SSID for different access privileges
The ZyXEL WAP3205 can allow different groups of users to access different networks through the multiple SSID support. Instead of supporting only one type of application, users can assign different policies and functions to each SSID, and thus increase the flexibility and efficiency of the network infrastructure. For example, users can assign two sets of policies to two SSIDs: one for private access and the other for guest or public access; when the guests connect to the wireless network, they can't connect to network storage devices or other private wireless devices under a pre-defined SSID security policy. The WAP3205 makes it easy to deploy one wireless network while fulfilling various requirements of security and privacy.

One-touch WPS button for easy wireless security setup
Equipped with a Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) push button, the WAP3205 makes establishing a secure wireless network easy. The WPS takes only a few seconds to set up a secure wireless network without any complicated procedures. Instead of entering a pass phrase, users can authenticate a new device on the network by pressing a single button or by entering an automatically generated PIN code. With the button option, users could even setup the wireless configuration and encryption with just a simple click.

5 of 5 Great value to extend your network Wednesday, February 03, 2010
B from Philadelphia, PA  

ZyXEL has fantastic customer service (at least via email). With their extra documentation offered before even receiving the product, I got this set up to add wi-fi support to an ethernet device in no time. Very happy.

5 of 5 Perfect for heavy wireless traffic Monday, December 21, 2009
Steve A. from Tulsa, OK  
I purchased this unit to connect my Sony Bravia TV back to my network. setup was little tricky, but Zyxel's support were of a great help. Very solid running unit, never froze on me especially when watching HD movies or streaming music. Taking in consideration the heavy media traffic associated with these HD movies.

5 of 5 Great in AP Client mode Thursday, December 17, 2009
PP from Henderson, NV  
I bought this AP to set it up as a WLAN Client to connect my Samsung LED HDTV (UN46B7000) with my existing wireless router (ASUS WL-520GU running tomato). I had to use the advanced setup mode to set the 128-bit WEP, due to older devices on my network that don't support WPA/WPA2. WEP is not available in the EZ setup mode. However, the EZ setup appears straight forward and probably would work for the majority. Once I plugged the TV to one of the two Ethernet ports, the TV found the right settings, acquired IP address automatically and connected to the network. The connection is strong and stable, played DVD quality, 480p, video flawlessly (have not tried HD stream yet). This is probably the best inexpensive solution for connecting the TV to an existing wireless network. This is my first ZyXEL device and I like it very much.

1 of 5 Wrong UPC Saturday, November 28, 2009
Thomas Bogle from Lansing, MI  
This is the second time I have bought something from Buy.com that the UPC on the item I received did not match the UPC required to get the rebate. Buy.com's solution was for me to spend an additional $10.00 to return the item. I will think twice before ordering anything form Buy.com. However I am very satisfied with the ZyXEL Access Point.

5 of 5 Works well once configured right Thursday, October 15, 2009
A Customer from Naperville, IL  
I bought this device to use so I could use the Ethernet port on my Network TV to stream content from the supported apps and my PC. Once setup correctly, it has worked perfectly. Installing the new firmware was a snap. The rest of the setup was pretty smoothly, but then I hit a snag. I couldn't get it to attach to my wireless network even though it appeared to be setup correctly. After a couple hours and trying various options I caved in and called the technical support. They were terrific and were able to get it up and running. I'm still not 100% sure what the fix was, but in the end they were very helpful and willing to assist in the future. They take great pride in their products and I'd recommend them.
