The ZyXEL NWA3166 Wireless LAN Access Point is a "hybrid" AP that acts as a stand-alone enterprise-class AP and/or a WLAN controller at the same time. The hybrid AP has full flexibility to deploy secure and reliable WLAN networks and is able to manage up to 24 APs and is suitable for companies with 300-500 staffs. In the initial phase constructing a WLAN, the NWA3166 can be configured as a fully functional stand-alone AP; with more APs installed, the NWA3166 can be set to the WLAN controller mode to manage all other access points. When a new branch office is established, one of the managed NWA3166 can become another controller to manage a separate WLAN network.

The NWA3166 Wireless LAN Access Points is full-function, enterprise-class AP providing 802.11a/b/g connectivity, up to 8 SSIDs per radio, profile-based management, leading QoS technology for VoWiFi applications, as well as comprehensive management features for massive deployments.
