Buying ZyXEL X550NH 802.11n High-Gain Wireless Gigabit Router

The router setup was not easy. If you want an easy router to setup then use Linksys or D-link.
The issue with setting up this router was that the specified IP address the directions said to use was not operational on the router. The router, right our of the box was using a completely different IP address that wasn't documented. I had to reset the router 3 times before the memory let go of the settings and reset the router and the IP address.
This wasted 3 hours. Linksys or D-link could be setup in under 10 mins.

Wireless connection to the router is sporadic. My laptop sits 3 feet away from the wireless antenna yet the connection between the router and the laptop is lost almost every hour. This same issue occurs regardless of the distance from the router. The router is set for the maximum signal power and there are no other wireless signals or other disruptions in the area. I'm thinking this is more of a concern of poor programming than actual hardware failure.

As for distance of the signal it's fantastic. In my testing the signal strength and distance is much greater than any other mid-grade or low-grade router I've tried thus far. The signal cuts through various thickness and multitude of walls and still comes out strong up 20 feet away. This router has a far better signal than other routers I've tried.

This would be a fantastic router if the setup directions were correct and if the router stopped dropping the signal so frequently.Get more detail about ZyXEL X550NH 802.11n High-Gain Wireless Gigabit Router.
