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.
