The mirroring starts up and works for a few seconds, but then it shuts itself off. I’m not able to get AirPlay mirroring working. With the Netgear, Bonjour works great, I’m able to use AirPlay/AirPrint without any issues, and when my laptop wakes from sleep, the wi-fi reconnects without any problems. Caveat Emptor.Īfter the LAN freeze-up, I ditched the WAP3205 and went back to my old Netgear. I’d recommend waiting until a newer firmware revision is released before updating. This is the version that caused the instability with the LAN interface.

Word of warning to WAP3025 owners: don’t install firmware version 1.00(BFR.7)C0 (released November 2012). When I unplugged the WAP3205, LAN connectivity instantly came back. None of my wired devices could connect to anything else on the LAN. Another time, the interface stayed up for several hours, then froze up my entire LAN. The wireless was still active, but the WAP stopped responding to pings. After upgrading, the wired ethernet interface on the WAP started randomly freezing up. Not only did the new firmware not fix the Bonjour issues, it also messed up the networking on the WAP somehow. I was skeptical, because the firmware release notes didn’t mention anything about Bonjour, but I went ahead and updated anyway. I read on a web site somewhere that the latest firmware on the WAP3205 addressed some issues with Bonjour. I couldn’t figure out any rhyme or reason to it, other than that the WAP was definitely the culprit, as Bonjour services worked fine over wired connections. With the ZyXEL, Bonjour was flaky at best: sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t. The next problem started when I began playing around with AirPlay/AirPrint, both of which use Apple’s Bonjour service, which uses multicasting. I had to manually re-join the network every time. When I woke my laptop from sleep mode, the wi-fi would no longer automatically re-connect.

The problems started after a few months, when I upgraded my Macbook Pro to Mountain Lion. The range and data throughput weren’t noticeably better.

The ZyXEL started out OK, although it did not seem like much of an upgrade over the Netgear. I’d been using an old, but trustworthy, Netgear WG602V2 since around 2001-2002, and while it worked, I was hoping to get something with a bit more range, that supported 802.11N and various newer features.

Last Fall, I got it into my head that I needed to upgrade my home network’s wireless access point (WAP).
