ZyXEL P-660H series is an all-in-one affordable router, compatible with high-speed ADSL, ADSL2 and ADSL2+ interfaces over existing copper lines. With speed up to 12Mbps (ADSL2) or 24Mbps (ADSL2+), the P-660H series offers higher data transfer rates and better bandwidth than traditional ADSL gateways. It also supports RE ADSL (Reach-Extended ADSL) for higher speed and longer distance. With excellent performance and upward compatibility, the P-660H series is great as the bridge between today's communications needs and tomorrow's converged services. The ICSA-certified ZyNOS operating system ensures state-of-art firewall performance and robust security from the P-660H series. Based on Stateful Packet Inspection, Dos (Denial of Service) and DDoS features, it provides the first line defense against hackers, network intruders, and other harmful threats. The P-660H series enables network administrators to allocate network resources and to guarantee Quality of Service (QoS). The MBM (Media Bandwidth Management) function prioritizes media services, and increases productivity and efficiency in daily operations by tailoring a system to specific demands such as VoIP, video streaming, video-conferencing or MP3 applications.

Firstly, whats in the box : You get the Router with built in 4-port Ethernet Hub and wireless antenna in sleek black. You also get a telephone cable, Power Adapter and an Ethernet Cable for initial setup/wired use.

Advantages: its white, which is nice, if you have macs everywhere. Disadvantages: adsl unreliable, debvice unreliable, firmware faulty.
...i bought one of these and the first thing i noticed was that the router fails the window connectivity test (upnp section). it would also drop out the adsl connection for no apparent reason wheras my netgear dg834g would never do.
i then tried a firmware update and this made no difference. the upnp just stops working completely after around 5-10 mins of operation and does not return unless you reboot the router.
later the whole router started resetting randomly. i returned it and got a replacement, and had the exact same experience again.
i never got to try the homeplug av part of it. i was attracted by the £50 price tag on pc worlds website, lets just say you cannot get a 54g adsl router and homeplug for £50, coz these things are very poor indeed.
the 2 worst routers i have ever used have both been Zyxel.
why is upnp...
