ZyXEL Wi-Fi Do-It-All Reviewed (Verdict: Does-It-All)

Travis Hudson — Wed, 16 Nov 2005 17:33:27 EST

ZyXEL has released their AG225H USB Wi-Fi all-in-one to satisfy the wardriver in all of us. Best of all, this small USB device is capable of doing three different functions. Three! First it can act as a wireless network detector. Then once you have found that ideal unencrypted network this can act is a wireless adapter for your notebook. Lastly it is capable of acting as a wireless access point. So here are the goods: it has excellent range, will display the type of encryption, has a rechargeable battery, has a hard on/off switch, and is multifunctional. Never has ~~stealing~~ borrowing wireless Internet felt so good or looked so sexy. Unfortunately this is going to run you about $80, but think of all the Starbucks wireless fees you're saving.

ZyXEL SIP Phone Solution

Interesting little combo—a WiFi VoIP phone and access point—that comes in a handsome leather carrying case. Basically, you hook up to the wired network and create your own access point/SIP point for phone calls. The ZyXEL informed us that it should be plug and play, but they were a little iffy on the specifics. Nice styling. Looks like a mini-hard drive.

UPDATE- It's ZyXEL. Sorry. It was a long day.

ZyXEL AG225H WiFi Finder

Finally, a WiFi finder that actually makes sense. I've seen so many of these things with just two LEDs—red for no WiFi, Green for much WiFi—to know that the previous crop of WiFi detectors were hunks of garbage. This one at least has an LCD screen and can scan the current WiFi environment and supply security settings, names, and even signal strength. A rechargeable battery keeps it going for a few hours and it supports current flavors of 802.11.
