I purchased this router as an upgrade from Zyxel's NBG-417N.
Like most Zyxel home user products, it's a compact, quiet, white box.
Was up and running within 5 minutes with easy wizard to connect to ISP.
As regards wireless, it won't make a poor signal better where there is interference or obstructions
but with a strong signal the wireless throughput is higher than the N-lite unit.
With half a dozen devices sharing the wireless the additional bandwidth is useful.
The Gigabit Ethernet connections have removed the bottleneck on our internal wired network,
the status lights clear show which devices are running at 1000Mps or 100Mps.
The admin webpage has a simple mode, but you can quickly change to the expert mode to fine-tune the setup.
Online Firmware upgrade achieved with one button click and a quick system reboot.
Additional functionality includes supporting multiple logical LAN & WLANs including a guest WLAN.
For future proofing, it supports IPv6 LAN & WAN traffic.
All in all, decent value for money.
