Stopped working after less than a year [Posted on 2008-07-23]
I just expect a router that works. After a year this completely stopped working.
Also, it couldn't seem to handle DNS with my cable modem. I had to set up special settings that I know are not required for this particular modem and cable connection with most routers.
Extremely Amazing Router [Posted on 2008-08-15]
This router is the best ever. You will plug it in and forget you ever bought it. It's that good. This is my first review after years of shopping on Amazon, because I had to let people know how fantastic this router is. Range, ability to handle load,(I have a home office with 4 PC's and an iPhone,VOIP service, wireless printer... all work flawlessly)
FORGET ANY OTHER ROUTER! THIS IS THE BEST ONE OUT THERE!
Ease of installation [Posted on 2008-09-18]
Installation of this product for wireless internet connection was the fastest and easiest that I have installed. From the time I opened the package to wireless connection with my laptop was approx 5 minutes. Quick, easy and definitely worth the low cost of the unit.
Service is Magical !!! [Posted on 2008-09-25]
I ordered this router 14 months ago, and it served me flawlessly with easy set up and perfect connectivity AND then POOF,
the adapter failed. It took less -than-a- one- minute phone call to Zyxel giving them the serial number of my unit and PRESTO--2 days later FedEx delivered to my door a new adapter. Within 5 minutes, I was back online-just like magic. I am impressed. Maybe the adapter should not have failed so soon, but I am glad to be doing business with this company.

Working well for me [Posted on 2008-09-27]
This unit is a cycle or two behind the curve but must have been the best in its time. I bought it because of the great reviews I found at Amazon. I was not disappointed. I am using ZyXEL access points because I figured it made sense to keep it in one family. I have the router in the basement and on the second floor on the other side of the house, I am getting about 75% link quality. I really can't notice the difference between when I am sitting at my computer in the basement (linked by wire to the router) and when I am using the two upstairs. I would be confident there is a difference but I just don't notice it.
One reason I bought this unit was also the high ratings it received on QoS. I have not yet used this feature.
I did bring my office laptop home. It uses a different brand wireless card. Using it one floor away (first floor) I received that card's highest strength.
Just remember it is not a 802.11N and you will not get "N" features but as far as being satisfied with the distance at which I can use the product, I am more than satisfied.
