I've had a ZyXEL DSL router for a while now. I've lots of devices, some wifi and some not, without experiencing issues. In fact it's never been rebooted since initial setup/configuration. There is plenty of Netflix, local multimedia streaming, general surfing, etc. on my home connection. At $dayjob we use a lot of ZyXEL products. In general they work well, including their standard ethernet wifi/router products the NBG4615 series. When dealing with Zhone brand DSL products a lot of headaches were experienced. Early generation of Actiontec brand Qwest DSL equipment was terrible (a simple Nmap scan would lock them up) but these days they seem pretty decent. -------- Original message -------- From: Carl Wilhelm Soderstrom <chrome at real-time.com> Date:05/12/2014 3:02 PM (GMT-06:00) To: TCLUG Mailing List <tclug-list at mn-linux.org> Subject: Re: [tclug-list] DSL router recommendations On 05/08 11:39 , Linda Kateley wrote: > Just a fyi, i have gone through 2 zyxel modems.

Once upon a time Zyxel had a really good name.. that was over 15 years ago tho. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota tclug-list at mn-linux.org http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
