Intro duc tio n
1.1 O ve rvie w
The WAP3205 v3 extends the range of your existing wired network without additional wiring, providing
easy network access to mobile users.
Your can create the following connections using the WAP3205 v3:
• LA N. You can connect network devices via the Ethernet ports of the WAP3205 v3 so that they can
communicate with each other and access the Internet.
• WLA N. Wireless clients can connect to the WAP3205 v3 to access network resources.
Figure 1 WAP3205 v3 Network
You can set up the WAP3205 v3 with other IEEE 802.11b/g/n compatible devices in one of the following
device modes:
• Access Point
• Universal Repeater
• Client Bridge
Chapter 1 Introduction
WAP3205 v3 User’s Guide

Use a (supported) web browser to manage the WAP3205 v3. Menus slightly vary according to which
mode you’re using.
See Chapter 4 on page 33 for more information on these modes.
1.2 Se c uring the WAP3205 v3
Do the following things regularly to make the WAP3205 v3 more secure and to manage the WAP3205 v3
more effectively.
• Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of different types of
characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier working
configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you forget your
password, you will have to reset the WAP3205 v3 to its factory default settings. If you backed up an
earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the WAP3205 v3. You could simply
restore your last configuration.

The following table describes the LEDs and the WPS button.
1.4 The WPS/ RESET Butto n
Your WAP3205 v3 supports WiFi Protected Setup (WPS), which is an easy way to set up a secure wireless
network. WPS is an industry standard specification, defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance.
WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure
security settings manually. Each WPS connection works between two devices. Both devices must
support WPS (check each device’s documentation to make sure).

Depending on the devices you have, you can either press a button (recommended) on the device
itself, or in its configuration utility or enter a PIN (a unique Personal Identification Number that allows one
device to authenticate the other) in each of the two devices. When WPS is activated on a device, it has
two minutes to find another device that also has WPS activated. Then, the two devices connect and set
up a secure network by themselves.
The WPS/ RESET single button is located at the back panel of the WAP3205 v3.
1.4 .1 Using the WPS/ RESET Button
1 Make sure the power LED is on.
2 Press the WPS/ RESET button within 3 seconds to turn on the WPS function
3 Press the WPS/ RESET button for longer than 10 seconds to reset the WAP3205 v3 back to its factory-
default configurations.
For more information on using WPS/ RESET, see
Section 5.3 on page 45.
1.5 Wa ll Mo unting
You may need screw anchors if mounting on a concrete or brick wall.
1 Select a position free of obstructions on a wall strong enough to hold the weight of the device.
2 Mark two holes on the wall at the appropriate distance apart for the screws.
Be c a re ful to a vo id da m a g ing p ipe s or c a b le s loc a ted inside the wa ll
whe n drilling ho le s for the sc re ws.
3 If using screw anchors, drill two holes for the screw anchors into the wall. Push the anchors into the full
depth of the holes, then insert the screws into the anchors. Do not insert the screws all the way in - leave
a small gap of about 0.5 cm.
If not using screw anchors, use a screwdriver to insert the screws into the wall. Do not insert the screws all
the way in - leave a gap of about 0.5 cm.
4 Make sure the screws are fastened well enough to hold the weight of the WAP3205 v3 with the
connection cables.
5 Align the holes on the back of the WAP3205 v3 with the screws on the wall. Hang the WAP3205 v3 on the
screws.
