- ZyXel WiFi Finder and AdapterZyXEL AG225H 802.11a/b/g/n Wifi Finder, 802.11g USB 2.0 Adapter, and Soft Access Point
Purchased this item about a month ago to replace my outdated Canary Wireless Wi-Fi finder which only detected 802.11b/g radios.
The ZyXel unit can detect all formats - 802.11a, b, g, and n. It will list the top 15 in order of power displaying the SSID, channel, band (a/b/g/n), and encryption type if any.
The display is a greenish-backlit LCD that it clear and easy to read. The unit contains a rechargeable battery that charges directly from any available USB port. Take approximately 2 hours to fully charge.
The unit also doubles as a 802.11b/g USB wireless dongle for any of your non-WiFi enabled computers.
The unit is built well, performs as advertised, and is relatively inexpensive. Highly recommended if you are looking for this type of device.

- Great for finding WiFi - 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.

- Wireless USB Access PointI purchased the ZyXel AG-225H specifically to set up a WiFi access point for my iPod. The software is straight forward requiring only basing network skills. You will need to play with your PC settings to allow internet sharing. I have not utilized the WiFi WAN location function except in passing but it has provided SSID of several local networks. The AG is about the size of a pack of gum and solidly built. My only gripe is the USB cap is separate and could be lost. The price is steep for my taste but I've been very satisfied with it's performance as a wireless access point.
