Wireless network antennas typically perform best in open environments with the least amount of obstructions possible. Performance may be significantly impaired if antennas are mounted near metal surfaces, concrete walls, or other high-density materials.

ZyAIR's extended reach antennas allow users to get the best wireless performance out of the most difficult environments. With ZyAIR antennas, customers will enjoy greater reach and better transmission quality for their wireless networks. The ZyAIR family includes multiple antenna options to satisfy a wide range of wireless connectivity needs.
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. The only downside is that should you encounter a problem (which I have yet to) ZyXel's customer services are only available at limited times. Overall, this is a great value router that enabled me to set up my wireless connection quickly and easily....

You can also use the HomePlug for other Internet gadgets such as games consoles. There have been issues with some Xbox consoles so be warned. I don't have any games consoles so I cannot say for certain what the issues are exactly.
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.
