The new X550N is amazing! Let me explain: as my hubby and kid both got new laptops this year with "n" wireless, we had to refrain ourselves from watching video online with more than one computers. But with the new router, all three of us can surf and watch videos online at the same time. And the coverage is great, too. Because my husband likes to take his new laptop and a cup of coffee to the backyard. He said he can use his laptop with no problem there. I am glad about our decision of buying the new router. 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: ZyXEL X550N 802.11n Wireless Gigabit Wireless Router (Personal Computers) When my Linksys G wireless router gave up the ghost, I spent a considerable amount of time researching the best one to replace it. I had never heard of ZyXEL but I was impressed by the majority of the reviews. It's rather difficult coming to a firm decision on a device such as this because every one has reviews that think it's the best thing since sliced bread and reviews that utter stark warnings that this device will ruin your life. The installation went very smoothly in all respects. With the Linksys I was never able to set up a wireless LAN but with the ZyXEL it was a piece of cake.

Not only does this wireless router reach all corners of our office but also two houses away from the office. And the increase in internet speed of 'n' technology is dramatic...Read more 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: ZyXEL X550N 802.11n Wireless Gigabit Wireless Router (Personal Computers) This router is great, and does everything it says it will... until you enable an IPSEC VPN.
Purchased 2 of these, both of them would become unresponsive for about 15 minutes at a time if you enabled the IPSEC VPN feature (the reason I purchased this router). The unresponsiveness could be reduced down to a less than a minute if you disable the IPSEC VPN, but that's the reason I purchased the router. Went back and forth with Zyxel support for months, even received a replacement which didn't solve our problems. Don't buy this router if you need to use the IPSEC VPN feature. |
