Advantages: Easy Installation, reliable, good value Disadvantages: Limited customer services
The ZyXel Prestige router is affordable and reliable. I haven't set up a wireless network before so was happy to discover that the Prestige was easy to install and set-up with a multimedia presentation and documnetation to guide you through the process. The router provides a fast, reliable ADSL connection and the small, unobtrusive unit can be easily hidden out of site. The unit provides great value for money as it comes with a free USB connector therfore providing everything you need to set up a wireless connection instantly.

It is particularly useful for people who don't like wireless routers or were given free non-wireless routers from their Internet Service Provider.
Note: Most HomePlug 1.0 devices cannot interoperate with HomePlug AV devices without the use of a suitable bridge, although both can co-exist on the same cable.
