Digital camera reviews of ZyXEL AG225H 802.11a/b/g/n Wifi Finder, 802.11g USB 2.0 Adapter, and Soft Access Point
Digital camera Review: Great Wireless Adapter
Summary: 5 Stars
Chose this item because it meets my company's security requirements. Item works great - it is easy to use, and screen is legible. Finds Hot Spots quickly. Convenient to carry.Digital camera Review: Great for finding WiFi -
Summary: 4 Stars
ZyXEL seems to have ironed out some of the issues that were initially a problem (2005 blogs). The unit includes a USB connection cable to alleviate the "crowding problem" of other USB ports. Windows "Vista", along with "XP" & "2000" as well as "Mac OS X" (10.3 & above) are now supported.
This is important if you want to use the AP function:
The Software AP function is available only on computers running Windows 2000, XP - only - NOT Windows "Vista" or "Mac OS X". The unit functions fine for locating WiFi hot spots.
Digital camera Review: Has its uses, but not for me
Summary: 2 Stars
I was looking for a wireless device that I could take on travel that would allow my iPod Touch and my laptop to communicate. This seemed like it could be the thing. I found it to be too complex to try to configure - couldn't get it to allow communications between the iPod and the PC. I returned it and purchased the D-Link DWL-G730AP Wireless Pocket Router for about the same price. It does exactly what I want - gives me a standalone wireless network on which the laptop and iPod can both reside.
The reason I went for the ZyXEL first was because I wanted something compact and light - space and weight are the enemy when you travel with only a carry-on. The D-Link looks bulky, with its case and AC adapter and cables. But it turns out all I have to carry is the little-bitty router and very short USB cable for its power. Weighs nothing, about the size of a chocolate-chip cookie.
Digital camera Review: Not a Happy Camper
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this product because it was supposed to work with Macs. I was svery disappointed in the results. I was under the impression I could plug it in to a USB outlet and hook up to my local wifi network. First, I had to download the driver and I couldn't get that to work with a Mac. Ended up having to borrow a PC to download the Mac drivers. Then, and still, am having troubles installing the driver such that the product works like it should. Have sent several emails to Zyxel for help and received only a standard automatic reply. To put it bluntly, they were no help. The product finds the wifi network but will not connect to it.

Digital camera Review: Obsolete Product
Summary: 2 Stars
I ordered this product in June and didn't get around to trying it out until it was too late to return it. The built-in WiFi finder works great but I'm not able to use it with my netbook. I went to the ZyXEL website and the product is note even listed!
