This review is from : ZyXEL Wireless N 450 Mbps Concurrent Dual-Band Gigabit Router (NBG5715)
Extremely good value on sale :) . A Comparison of Routers (*Go to end of Review for Issues I've encountered):Routers in general are some of the most finicky pieces of hardware on any network...or rather wireless routers. Wireless tends to be really straight forward and yet many of the wireless routers on the Market are hit or miss and plagued with weak wireless output or intermittent connectivity issues. I've tried (owned) all the major brands for extended periods of time: Linksys (Cisco), D-Link, Netgear, Belkin, Asus, Buffalo and every brand has some amazing offerings. Even within a certain model there are hardware revisions almost annually, which can resolve or create issues for that given Router Model. Most recently my favorite has been the Netgear N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDR3700, not because it's a Netgear, but because it has been extremely reliable and it looks great.Most routers don't offer some of the features that the NBG5715 has by default, which made me want to try it out. I've been told that the NBG5715 has two separate CPUs, but I can't remember where I heard this or if it's actually true, so I'm guessing it's not true. I've used some of Zyxel's Firewalls in the past like the ZyXEL ZyWALL USG100 Unified Security Gateway Firewall w/50 VPN Tunnels, SSL VPN, 7 Gigabit Ports, and High Availability and have been very pleased with them. So I thought, why not...lets give Zyxel another shot. I'm pleased with the outcome.***Pros:1. Stable Wireless with no Connectivity issues (yet, hopefully never). I've been using it for a little over a week now with no disconnects or any issues. The Firmware seems stable, but can only get better with new releases in the coming months.2. Sale Price $149. I wouldn't have paid $250 for this thing, not because it's not worth it, but because I didn't want to put out $250. The normal price on Amazon has fluctuated between $167-$186 over the past few weeks.3. 450 Mbps per wireless channel when using 40Mhz on 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz channels. Because not all devices support 40 MHz channels, I've selected the Auto 20/40MHz to allow the NBG5715 to adjust the channel bandwidth automatically. Getting 450 Mbps is going to depend on if your client is capable of those speeds. You'll also want to use WPA2 with AES encryption to maximize speeds.4. Non Standard features some of which are: **Wireless output power management, **5 IPSec VPN Tunnels for Site to Site VPN only (but you can get client to site working, but it's not currently supported and a hassle), **Advanced Firewall Management/Rule Creation (can create individual rules for clients on your network), **NetUSB for Printer, Scanner and Hard/Flash Drive (nothing new but most routers don't this), **Wall Mountable (lots of routers are nowadays).5. Physical buttons to turn on\off: Power, LEDs, and Wireless Output.6. External Antenna are upgradable. External Antenna don't necessarily mean that you'll get better wireless coverage, but if you want to improve your coverage you can put on some higher Gain Antenna. The three default Antenna are 2dBi rated.7. It has an Integrated check for firmware upgrades. So you don't have to go to their website or ftp server every time there is a firmware update.***Cons:1. The LED Management Lights are all the same color and are nothing close to the traditional way of interpreting connection status. It's almost counter intuitive at first until you get used to it, or if you every get used to it. From the LED lights themselves, how do I know when my devices are connected at Gigabit or 100Mbit Connections?2. Slow Interface. The Basic Interface is annoying and always comes up first (it's called "Easy Mode" and I can't yet find a way to disable it and just default to "Expert Mode"). The Expert Mode is Functional, but not speedy by any means.3. The entire thing is a fingerprint magnet. I foresee it getting scratched easily if it's in an area where it will get bumped or nudged. If you never come near your router than this won't be a problem.4. Fairly Big. It's definitely not a small Router, this could be a problem for some people. Just make sure you look at all the physical dimension before you buy and find it doesn't fit where you need it to go.5. It must be used in a vertical position. I don't really care either way, but some people won't buy it because of this. The WNDR3700 by Netgear can be used vertically or horizontally because of the cable connections. I like using the NBG5715 vertically more than I do the WNDR3700 because the cables connect near the bottom of the NBG5715 so they are out of the way (not jutting out the side) when used vertically. On the flip side, I have always liked the streamline look of a Router that's cables are low to the base, but connected on the outer back side so the router can be placed flat wherever it's located. 6. Wall mounting will be kinda strange with the positioning of cables on the NBG5715. The base is not removable.7. When Remote Administration is enabled you can only access the router via 192.168.1.1:8080 (or whatever port you picked that isn't the deafualt port 80) whether it be internally or externally. This is done by design in the release firmware. Other routers I've used don't do this; normally remote Administration is done via 192.168.1.1:8080 and local administration is done via 192.168.1.1 (using port 80) which is preferred in my opinion.***Performance (11-12-2011): *Note: I have all these devices in various places in my home and have wired various rooms with Cat6 cabling. I've turned [off] my 2 additional Wireless Access Points, but continue to use them as wired switches. All Internet traffic is run through the NBG5715 as my router and all wireless is routed through the NBG5715 as well. My Windows Home Server, where all my Local Bluray Rips and other Content is stored, is connected to the NBG5715 directly. I had no problems playing anything at all. I average around 35Mbps DOWN and 8Mbps UP on my Broadband Internet. This isn't a very scientific test, I just wanted to show that with almost everything in my house taking up bandwidth I still could have done more. The NBG5715 handled it all without issues.I ran the following simultaneously:(3) Bluray rips in .mt2s format [Local Network - WHS NFS Shares]: Avatar--->Popcorn Hour C-200 [wireless N 5Ghz], The Bourne Supremacy---->27" iMac [wired], and FF7 Adevent Children----->Popcorn hour A-110 [wired](3) 1080p HD Streams of Youtube [Internet]: 1st HP Touchpad [wireless N 2.4Ghz], 2nd HP Touchpad [wireless N 2.4Ghz], PC Desktop [wireless N 2.4Ghz](1) Spotify Streaming Music [Internet]: MacBook [wireless G 2.4Ghz](1) Sonos Player [Internet]: HD Radio Stations [wireless N 2.4Ghz](4) Mobile Devices Streaming [Internet]: 1st iPhone 4-->Pandora [wireless N 2.4Ghz], 2nd iPhone 4-->HQ Youtube Video [wireless N 2.4Ghz], iPhone 4S-->Streaming Live TV [wireless N 2.4Ghz], iPad-->HQ Youtube Video [wireless N 2.4Ghz](1) Vudu Full 1080p HD Movie [Internet]: PlayStation 3 [wired](2) Two users in a Minecraft Game Hosted on a small server connected to the NBG5715 [Internet]
***Overall:I have had no issues with setup, performance, wireless range, connectivity, or reliability/stability. Our family is big into Streaming and sharing multimedia over our network among multiple NAS devices and Networked Players. It is placed in the center of my home on the second of three levels (stories). I've been able to provide coverage to all my home this way. On the Extreme ends of the home 1-2 bars are lost, but our home is large and this hasn't hampered performance much at all. It's form factor is different, but I've already gotten used to it. If the price stays this low and you need a new Router I highly recommend it for it's advanced feature set and reliability. Time will tell if things will continue to work well. I'll update my review if I experience issue with the NBG5715.***My Wishlist of features and/or additions (i know this is a consumer product and there is only enough memory for certain features, but it's one of if not the most expensive consumer router on the market so i think it should have some sweet features):1. Loopback/hairpin NAT support
2. True Client to Site VPN over IPSec or even just PPTP so I can use a computer or iPhone to connect to my local network when away from home.
3. A software restart from within the web interface.
4. Better port forwarding and port triggering management like in the NBG-415N, maybe it's not exactly better in the NBG-415n, but at least it's a little more robust. Currently you need to create a Port forward rule with a single port and then only after that can you set up a range of ports within that rule when you edit it again.
5. More DDNS provider options or perhaps even a custom setting to add not very well known providers.
6. VLAN support for setting up multiple sub-nets on device.
7. Wireless Guest Network, other routers easily do this.
8. Radius Server Support
9. Proper DMZ Support, perhaps this could be done with the Firewall. I haven't even touched it.
10. Proper IPv6 support
11. Being able to change the MTU values would be nice
12. Setup as an Access Point (AP) or WDS Repeater (i know most companies dedicate this feature to a single device.
13. use a connected USB drive as a syslog server for other devices on your network.
14. An iPhone app for easily managing basic and/or advanced features.
15. A way to default to Expert Mode. An example: an option to turn off easy mode.**********************************************************************************************************************************************************Added 11-11-11*** I've had a few issues with the router, but nothing that cripples it. I've not had to reboot it at all yet and it's been very stable overall while under heavy load. Current Issues I've encountered:1. It doesn't currently support 'Loopback/hairpin NAT' this means I can't resolve to DDNS domain names from inside my network unless I adjust the host file on each of my computers. You can't adjust the host file on a mobile device. So it's been a hassle. I've informed their tech support and they have put in a request to include this in the next firmware build, so hopefully it will get included. It's a very basic feature that most consumer routers have that support DDNS. I use DDNS for a Minecraft server and for my WHS 2011.2. My Windows Home Server doesn't like this router much, when it comes to Remote Web Access, everything else works great. I've forwarded the necessary ports (80, 4125, 443) but WHS 2011 keeps reporting that tmy "router is not configured properly". This could be because the WHS is trying to use UPNP, but with the ports forwarded it works just fine even with the error message.3. Adding Port Triggering rules doesn't seem to work at all. I've tried adding rules a number of times with no success. Even after a re-flash of the current firmware they just never get saved.4. Random log outs from the web interface in the middle of doing something happen sometimes and at times you need to login at least twice for it to actually log you in. I've set the admin timeout for 15 min, but it should only time out after 15 min of no activity, not whenever it wants.5. Remote administration works intermittently. At times it times out when trying to login when done through remote administration; 192.168.1.1:80806. My firmware is reported as being NBG5715_1.00(AAAG.0)b10 but the most recent online is reported as being NBG5715_V1.00(AAAG.0)C0 The difference is mine is "b10" and the one online is improperly labeled "C0", unless this is some internal naming convention. I still think it's a little strange because I've flashed with the C0 firmware but my router still reports a b10 build. So the file is either labeled wrong or that's how they do it at Zyxel. I'm probably just over analyzing things.

ZyXEL Wireless N 450 Mbps Concurrent Dual-Band Gigabit Router (NBG5715) Reviews
Recommend with slight reservations . I bought this router after contacting Zyxel Tech Support. They recommended this model for my application. I needed a VPN router with Client to Network support for home (Dynamic IP as most have from home) to do maintenance on my parent's computers. I also needed a USB port that supported a printer.It only supports site to site VPN. It was designed that way. Does not seem like a home product where most would need VPN to your office from home (possibly site to site but most likely Client to Network or a a minimum pass through) and VPN to home (client to network) when traveling.The router is fast on the wireless and seems well built.I have sent complaining emails back and will update if I get any help from Zyxel.Update:Zyxel comes through in the end.I only marked it down because of the design of the VPN. Not really what one would expect from a router base for home use. As with any product, meeting a price point involves compromise. At the price point this seems like a strong product. I can find no other that offers any VPN capabilities with usb printer and storage options. The nice folks at Tech support are forwarding my recommendations to the design people for possible new products that better fit this market niche. In the End, the folks at Zyxel have taken care of me and I can now recommend the company. They are very responsive to the customer. This is a very new product and even tech support had not encountered this issue previously. Learning experience for all. I would by Zyxel again.

ZyXEL Wireless N 450 Mbps Concurrent Dual-Band Gigabit Router (NBG5715) Opinions
works fine . Hooked it up a couple of days ago. No problems with it. Haven't asked it to do any advanced stuff; it's just been acting as a router, both wired and wireless, and haven't had any issues. I don't do any sophisticated things with it though, so can't speak about any of the advanced things some people do with routers. It currently has two computers connected to it (wired) and the wireless works with my laptop and both Droid smartphones in my household. Good signal coverage throughout the house. I even get a very good signal outside in a seperate building - a small, metal building used as a workshop. That means the signal is going through the brick wall of my house, then travel 30' through atmosphere, then penetrate a building made of aluminum. Granted, the router is in a room with an exterior wall across from the shop, but still....I was impressed anyway.
I will be hooking up a Sony BD w/Google TV player soon.
It seems to be very well constructed. Better than some I've had and seen. I wanted a wireless router with a physical power switch for the wireless radio. I like to be able to turn off the wireless radio without having to go into the webpage configuration menu. Very stable with all the cables plugged into it, and you can easily mount it to a wall if desired. Removable antennae, and the 3 included seem to be of good quality.
I haven't tried the network USB, but plan on hooking up our printer to it, as soon as I can lay my hands on a long USB cable. I'm also going to hook up a hard drive in a USB encloser I have. I'll try and report back on how those two things go.

I haven't tried the network USB, but plan on hooking up our printer to it, as soon as I can lay my hands on a long USB cable. I'm also going to hook up a hard drive in a USB encloser I have. I'll try and report back on how those two things go.
