Benefits
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 300 Mbps*, 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.
