Benefits

Improved Network Speed and Coverage

The ZyXEL NWA570N is a Four-in-one 802.11n Draft 2.0 Wireless Access Point, can be

operated in one of the following 4 modes, including AP, client, repeater and point to

point bridge. Unlike ordinary wireless networking technologies, draft 802.11n uses the

reflections to increase the range and reduce “dead zone” in the wireless coverage area.

The NWA570N provides wireless delivery rates of up to 300 Mbps and 4x farther

coverage than 802.11g connection. It is designed for users that demand high speed

data and multimedia delivery in order to get a better Internet experience with a faster

wireless connection to enjoy downloading, video streaming and gaming. It can be also

backward compatible with 802.11g and 802.11b wireless networks.

Enhanced Wireless Security and Privacy

In addition to the basic 64/128/152-bit WEP encryption, the NWA570N features the

latest wireless security mechanisms to protect your network with 802.1x

authentication and Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK). These

enhanced security functions allow only authorized users to access the network, thus

further protecting your data from being tapped during wireless transmission.

NWA570N

Simplify Network Security Setup with One-Touch

The NWA570N supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to simplify network security

setup. Users no longer have to define a network identifier (SSID) and pass phrase to

enable WPA security; instead, the NWA570N will automatically generate SSIDs and PIN

codes. In place of entering a pass phrase, users can authenticate a new device on the

network by pressing a button or by entering an automatically generated 4-digit or 8-

digit PIN code. With the button option, users only need to press a button on the device

and on the AP simultaneously in order to complete the authentication.

Three External Detachable Antennas

The detachable antenna allows you to replace the standard antenna with a reverse

SMA connector antenna. It also has the flexibility to meet user demands if high-gain

antenna replacements are required.
