Freakin Sweet Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: This unit has it all. Even has a neat Dial-up backup. The Dial-up backup is a RJ45 to Serial adapter that allows you to plug in any external serial modem. You will need to get the AT Command Initial String to make your specific modem work. Firewall setup is excellent. A little confusing at first, but after you play with it, it all becomes pretty simple. I love the multipule options on how to get into the unit - ...

Awesome Router Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: more than 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: At first I hated this router. Bought for work. Needed content filtering. After over a year with this puppy, I'm still learning, but the more I use it and understand it, the more I realize how powerful it is. The new firmware makes the firewall rules easier to set. Once you get grab on how they work, you can tweak this thing for any type of subnet bl...

Extremely satisfied. Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Extensively configurable options for all parameters of this device's operation. The ZyWall 2 Plus is actually capable of doing what the manufacturer claims it can do. The web interface feels responsive when making changes and provides positive feedback once a change has been implemented. LAN throughput is impressive for a device in this price range. ...

Can't recommend for a small business Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: I purchased this based on the glowing reviews left here by others. Customer support generally replies via email within three days.
Cons: This unit was not installed in our new office until after the 30 day Newegg return period. The firewall was installed in an EMI-shielded, forced air climate-controlled environment with a dedicated...

Awesome firewall. Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: This unit replaced my almost-10-year-old Netscreen-5 firewall at my home. Super nice web gui, telnet & ssh access including menus as well. This is definitely a corporate-level system "toned down" a bit for SatelliteOffice/SOHO/Home use. I've installed and configured many different types of firewall for many companies of every size in multi...

Look no further Tech Level: somewhat low
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: The stability of this box is amazing. It has never gone down for me. Am using latest firmware V4.04 (XU.1) which moves right along without a hiccup. The options permitted by the firmware are plentiful. But even for me with limited skills with networks the default settings are more than enough to provide me with good security in my in home network...

Superb Features for price! Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Throughput and performance better than Netgear FVS318v2 the Zywall 2 Plus replaced. More features! Outgoing VPN and SSH sessions noticeably quicker as this routers IXP422 CPU and OS moves packets faster. Excellent feature set for a home router. This is as close to a Cisco Pix 501 as you'll get for < 1/2 the price. This seems a very stable, well-perfo...

The best, period. Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: I have installed just about every router made. This is the most full featured router out there... bandwidth limiting, content filtering by category, each port can be a separate VLAN... The only other devices I've seen with all of these features for less than $1,000 is Cisco gear, but why spend 4x more for a command line O/S.
Cons:...

Very Good Box Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: After reading-up on ZyXel, user's reviews, etc I decided to buy this firewall for home. It was a good move. Awesome control over all aspects of the box. My home PC's FTP serving is literally 5-10 time faster than the LinkSys & D-Links I had prior.
Cons: None yet - still new to the unit, but it does everything I need it to.

Awesome router for the price Tech Level: high
Ownership: more than 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Never needs to be reset. It just works. I have 2 of these running a VPN tunnel, and I have NEVER had to reset them or even think about them in the year or so they have been running. Has a real firewall with rules instead of just NAT. An outstanding router for the price.
Cons: Somewhat difficult to set up the firewall and VPN, there is a little...
