Product Review

The NBG416N Wireless N Router offers a cost-effective solution for users upgrading their network to the next generation. The NBG416N provides fast speeds and more stable, reliable wireless connections for data and multimedia streaming. With the WiFi Multimedia (WMM) technology, the NBG416N enhances user experiences for audio, video and voice applications over wireless networks with the capability to prioritize different network traffic types for optimized performance. With the Green features, the NBG416N adjusts power consumption by detecting the link status and the length of connected Ethernet cables. When the NBG416N detects no active data transmission, the device automatically enters the PowerSaving mode to avoid energy waste. The shorter the Ethernet cable length is, the less power it consumes. In order to reduce unnecessary wireless radiation for a more Ecofriendly network environment, the wireless scheduler and output power management of NBG416N enable you to easily control wireless network environments. The desired operating time can be set via the WebBased user interface, so the NBG416N can turn itself on or off according to your wireless usage pattern. With the five-level output power control capability, the NBG416N makes it easy for users to adjust the output power to reduce interference that affects your neighbors if you live in an area of high AP density.WPS button of the NBG416N enables you to take only a few seconds to set up a secure wireless network. Instead of entering a pass phrase, users can authenticate a new device on the network by pressing a button or by entering an automatically generated PIN code. 64/128-bit WEP, and WPA/WPA2 are supported to provide stringent protection for wireless transmissions. In addition, the NBG416N is equipped with firewall features including Network Address Translation (NAT), Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI), Denial-of-Service (DoS), and VPN Pass-through (IPSec, PPTP and L2TP) to prevent attacks from the Internet

This review is from: ZyXEL NBG416n 150 Mbps Wireless N Router w/High Gain Antenna (Personal Computers)
I brought this device a few days ago. I installed as an access point for my verizon fios wireless to cover low signal area. It works as it supposed to be.

Installation is simple. It is common router as others. I owns linksys, dlink, netgear and other home wireless router before. The function is no more than others. A few configuration screen got hung during changing, but just reboot to make it work.

About High Gain Antenna, It looks like bigger than linksys and dlink. I did not see significant "High Gain" compared to my verizon wireless router.

WLAN port does not work. Vendor site states it is bug. So it has 4 port. Actually 3 port can be used for my access point for wired network.

Network is 10/100M, not 1G level router. I guess that's how to get price low.

Overall, it is ok router with 20 bucks price.

I bought this router and since very first day I am having problem... It doesn't get DNS information automatically and hence doesn't connect to laptop easily..I contacted customer service (which is available on weekdays 8AM-5 PM only) and they said there is an issue with hardware. I got it replaced and again problem persist... Somehow i managed to connect to my laptop with lot of difficulty. My friend came to my place and he tried to connect his laptop and failed.. this product is not good ... Would never suggest anyone to buy this product...

I bought this router to complement my mom's Roku Christmas present. Overall it seems like it will be a good fit. Antenna and construction seem good with very fast speeds and it can be used as either regular router or as access point. The Zyxel brand is good so I felt OK with buying, however even after updating to the latest firmware I was disappointed to see that there are no firewall settings. Just on or off, no ability to open specific ports.
