Integrated wireless products such as the ZyAIR B-1000 Access Point, B-2000 Gateway and B-300 PCI Card offer detachable factory antennas which can be replaced with higher performance ZyAIR antennas. Other products, such as ZyXEL’s Prestige 650HW and the ZyWALL 10W are wireless-ready, which means that they gain wireless functionality through the insertion of a wireless PC card. For improved antenna performance with wireless-ready devices, ZyXEL offers the ZyAIR B-101 PC card. The B-101 has a MMCX connector which can attach to an external ZyAIR antenna by using a standard MMCX to SMA connector cable. If the user’s work area is obstructed, the external antenna can be raised to improve reception and link quality. Installation instructions for both types of devices are shown below.

I. To Replace Detachable Antennas from Integrated Wireless Devices

(eg. The ZyAIR B-1000, ZyAIR B-2000 and ZyAIR B-300)

Sometimes the work environment requires more powerful antennas than those supplied by the factory. If wireless coverage or reach distance is less than satisfactory, high gain or directional antennas can be installed to provide better performance for all wireless applications.

Installation Steps

1.Detach the factory antennas from the SMA connectors on the wireless device.

2.Screw the performance-enhancing antennas into the SMA connectors.

3.Place the antenna in the desired position.

EXT-106, EXT-105, EXT-104 specifications

ZyXEL Communications is renowned for producing high-quality networking solutions, and their line of Wi-Fi extenders, specifically the EXT-106, EXT-105, and EXT-104, showcase this commitment to excellence. These devices are designed to extend the range of existing Wi-Fi networks, providing enhanced connectivity and speed for users in homes and small offices.

The EXT-106 is a powerful dual-band Wi-Fi extender that operates on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, offering a maximum throughput of up to 1200 Mbps. This model features an intelligent LTE technology that analyzes network conditions and automatically selects the optimal band for connected devices. Its compact design includes a simple plug-and-play setup, making installation a breeze for users of all skill levels.

Moving to the EXT-105, this model also supports dual-band connectivity, with speeds reaching up to 900 Mbps. It employs beamforming technology, which helps improve signal strength and reliability by directing the Wi-Fi signal towards connected devices rather than broadcasting it in all directions. This enhanced focus not only increases coverage but also optimizes performance for streaming and gaming applications.

Lastly, the EXT-104 targets users looking for an affordable solution without compromising on essential features. With a maximum speed of 750 Mbps and single-band operation primarily focusing on the 2.4 GHz frequency, it has been designed for lighter usage scenarios such as browsing the web or checking emails. The EXT-104 is equipped with an easy-to-use WPS button that allows for a quick and secure connection to the existing router.

All three devices come with advanced security features, including WPA/WPA2 encryption, ensuring a safe browsing experience for users. Additionally, they are equipped with multiple Ethernet ports, allowing for wired connections to compatible devices where stronger and more stable connectivity is required.

In summary, ZyXEL Communications' EXT-106, EXT-105, and EXT-104 Wi-Fi extenders provide a range of solutions to accommodate diverse networking needs. With dual-band capabilities, user-friendly installation, beamforming technology, and robust security features, these extenders are ideal for anyone looking to enhance their wireless networking experience.
