  Pros: – Great firewall and configuration options /built quality /power usage- Security Zones- Price- Gigabit
  
  Cons: It’s a great product with one huge flaw/bug – when you have traffic between the 3 security zones the troughput falls to 1.3MB/s (and this is with firewall, ADP, AV, IDP all disabled!). Mind you this is on 1Gb network. This is a bit perplexing – the product has been out there fore some time and still no fix. I’m not sure if this is a design flaw or a software/firmware issue – but until it’s fixed it’s hard to recommend the product since one of it’s main features is the ability to create separate security zones. Now, if you don’t use the separate zones you should be ok.

  Pros: Purchased this to replace a NetGear router. What a difference. The firewall and functionality is anything else out there, but does not cost an arm and a leg.This router has been up for about a month now, with no problems. We’re using it for VPN tunnels to remote offices, NAT and the DMZ. Also trying out the free 30 day content filter, which works great.One of the best things about Zyxel? Their support. Very knowledgeable, easy to reach, and to understand.
  
  Cons: A little slow to boot up. Other Thoughts: Be sure to get the latest firmware.

  Pros: Did not crash at all during testing. Has sophisticated feature set for the price. Attractive devices and well packaged. Throughput seemed excellent. All of this I discovered during test mode.
  
  Cons: Supports only 2 wireless cards. The Sierra Wireless AC850 is “end of life” and there is currently no replacement for it. If you aren’t interested in 3G as backup or load balancing, no problem; otherwise . . .. Other Thoughts: I hated returning these guys. It took me about 48 hours to get comfortable with configuring them and I thought they were going to be solid performers for a small customer. I did not try any of the subscription services, purely the firewall/router/NAT functions. Manufacturer Response:Dear Sir,First, let me thank you first for your interest in ZyXEL’s firewall product line. I would recommend updating the firmware to the most recent release “2.11” which supports the following 3G adapters:Sierra Wireless AC850 / AC860, AC880/AC881Huawei E220These are in addition to the currently-supported ones. If you have any questions or need any further information, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 800.255.4101 or via email sales@zyxel.comBest Regards,ZyXEL’s Sales Team
