CHAPTER 1
Getting to Know Your WAP3205
1.1 Overview
This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the WAP3205.
The WAP3205 extends the range of your existing wired network without addi tional
wiring, providing easy network access to mobile users. You can set up a wireless
network with other IEEE 802.11b/g/n compatible devices.
1.2 Applications
Your can have the following networks on the WAP3205:
• Wired. You can connect to a broadband modem/router for Internet access and/
or connect network devices via the Ethernet ports of the WAP3205 so that they
can communicate with each other and access the Internet.
• Wireless. Wireless clients can connect to the WAP3205 to access network
resources.
Figure 1 WAP3205 Network
1.3 Ways to Manage the WAP3205
Use any of the following methods to manage the WAP3205.
• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the
WAP3205 using a (supported) web browser.
WAP3205 User’s Guide
19
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your WAP3205
• WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) button. You can use the WPS button or the WPS
section of the Web Configurator to set up a wireless network with your
WAP3205.
1.4 Good Habits for Managing the WAP3205
Do the following things regularly to make the WAP3205 more secure and to
manage the WAP3205 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 y our password, you will hav e to reset the
WAP3205 to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier
configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the WAP3205. You
could simply restore your last configuration.

WAP3205 Modes
2.1 Overview
This chapter introduces the different modes available on your WAP3205.
• Device mode. This is the operating mode of your WAP3205, or simply how t he
WAP3205 is being used in the network.
2.1.1 Device Modes
This refers to the operating mode of the WAP3205, which can act as a:
• Access Point. Use this mode if you want to extend your network by allowing
network devices to connect to the WAP3205 wirelessly. Go to Section 3.4 on
page 27 to view the Status screen in this mode.
• Client. Use this mode if there is an existing wireless router or access point in
the network to which you want to connect your local network. Go to Section 4.5
on page 35 to view the Status screen in this mode. In Client mode, you should
know the SSID and wireless security details of the access point to which you
want to connect.
• Universal Repeater. In this mode, the WAP3205 can be an access point and a
wireless client at the same tim e. Use this mode if there is an existing wireless
router or access point in your network and you also want to allow clients to
connect to the WAP3205 wirelessly. Go to Section 4.5 on page 35 to view the
Status screen in this mode.

WAP3205 User’s Guide
CHAPTER 3
Access Point Mode
3.1 Overview
The WAP3205 is set to access point mode by default. In this mode your WAP3205
bridges a wired network (LAN) and wireless LAN (WLAN) in the same subnet. See
the figure below for an example.
Figure 4 Wireless Internet Access in Access Point Mode
Note: See Chapter 8 on page 73 for an example of setting up a wireless network in
Access Point mode.
3.2 What You Can Do
•Use the Status screen (Section 3.4 on page 27) to view read-only information
about your WAP3205.
•Use the LAN screen (Chapter 11 on page 117) to set the IP address for your
WAP3205 acting as an access point.
•Use the Wireless LAN screens (Chapter 10 on page 99) to configure the
wireless settings and wireless security between the wireless clients and the
WAP3205.
3.3 What You Need to Know
See Chapter 8 on page 73 for a tutorial on setting up a network with the
WAP3205 as an access point.
WAP3205 User’s Guide

Chapter 3 Access Point Mode
3.3.1 Setting your WAP3205 to AP Mode
1 Connect your computer to the LAN port of the WAP3205.
2 The default IP address of the WAP3205 is “192.168.1.2”. In this case, your
computer must have an IP address in the range between “192.168.1.3” and
“192.168.1.254”.
3 Click Start > Run on your computer in Windows. Type “cmd” in the dialog box.
Enter “ipconfig” to show your computer’s IP address. If your computer’s IP
address is not in the correct range then see Appendix C on page 167 for
information on chang i ng yo ur computer’s IP address.
4 After you’ve set your computer’s IP address, open a web browser such as Internet
Explorer and type “http://192.168.1.2” as the web address in your web browser.
5 Enter “1234” (default) as the password and click Login.
6 Type a new password and retype it to confirm, then click Apply. Otherwise, click
Ignore.
7 To use your WAP3205 as an access point, on the left of the screen, click
Maintenance > Sys OP Mode and select Access Point Mode. Click Apply.
Figure 5 Changing to Access Point mode
Note: You have to log in to the Web Configurator again when you change modes. As
soon as you do, your WAP3205 is already in access point mode.
