The WAP7205 extends the range of your existing wired network without additional wiring, providing easy
network access to mobile users. You can set up a wireless network with other IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac
compatible devices. The WAP7205 is able to function both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks at the same time.
You can create the following connections using the WAP7205:
• LAN. You can connect network devices via the Ethernet port of the WAP7205 (A) so that they can
communicate with each other and access the Internet.
• WLAN. Wireless clients can connect to the WAP7205 (A) to access network resources.
CHAPTER 1
The WAP7205 also comes with one coaxial port that supports MoCA (Multimedia over Coax Alliance)
technology (see Chapter 8 on page 49).
Use a (supported) web browser to manage the WAP7205.
1.2 Securing the WAP7205
Do the following things regularly to make the WAP7205 more secure and to manage the WAP7205 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.
WAP7205 User’s Guide
8
• 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 WAP7205 to its factory default settings. If you backed up an
earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the WAP7205. You could simply
restore your last configuration.
1.3 LEDs
The following sections describes the LEDs on the WAP7205.
The following figure is the front panel of the WAP7205. Use the LEDs to determine if the WAP7205 is
behaving normally or if there are some problems on your powerline network.

1.4 Resetting the WAP7205
If you forget your password or IP address, or you cannot access the Web Configurator, press the RESET
button for more than 5 seconds to reload the factory-default configuration file. This means that you will
lose all configurations that you had previously saved, the password will be reset to the default Wi-Fi key.
1.4.1 RESET Button
1Make sure the power LED is on.
2Press and hold the RESET button. After 5 seconds, the power LED begins flashing.
3Release the RESET button. The WAP7205 reloads factory defaults and begins to reboot.
1.5 WPS Button
Your WAP7205 supports Wi-Fi 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).
WAP7205 User’s Guide
10
Chapter 1 Introducing the WAP7205
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.
For more information on using WPS, see Section 7.3 on page 38.

2.1 Overview
This chapter describes how to access the WAP7205 Web Configurator and provides an overview of its
screens.
The Web Configurator is an HTML-based management interface that allows easy setup and
management of the WAP7205 via Internet browser. Use Internet Explorer 8.0 and later or Safari 2.0 or
later versions. The recommended screen resolution is 1024 by 768 pixels.
In order to use the Web Configurator you need to allow:

Introducing the Web
Configurator
• Web browser pop-up windows from your device. Web pop-up blocking is enabled by default in
Windows XP SP (Service Pack) 2.
• JavaScripts (enabled by default).
• Java permissions (enabled by default).
2.2 Accessing the Web Configurator
1Make sure your WAP7205 hardware is properly connected. See the Quick Start Guide.
2Open a web browser such as Internet Explorer.
3Type “http://zyxelsetup” (for Windows) or “http:// zyxelsetup.local” (for Mac) as the web address in your
web browser.
The WAP7205 is a DHCP client by default. Alternatively, check the connected gateway for the
WAP7205's current IP address. Make sure your computer’s IP address is in the same subnet as the
WAP7205’s IP address. Type “http://(DHCP-assigned IP)” as the web address in your web browser.
2.2.1 Login Screen
The Web Configurator initially displays the following login screen.
