Easy setup but with some things to know
Out of the box, I plugged one into an outlet near my router, and another near my computer and got instant internet access! The company claims 200 mps max and currently getting right now according to their utility software between 75 and 80. That works for me as right now I have Comcast's 50 mps internet service and really don't do file transfers between my network computers so it's perfect.
Okay things getting a little more tricky if you want:
1. Encryption
2. Setting up a network name.
Encryption; followed the instructions to the letter and I could not get the encryption setup. Lights wouldn't blink as they should. I was pressing the encryption button on the controller adapter (the one plugged to the router) and then pressing the encryption button on the remote (the one plugged into my computer). I have both of them plugged into outlets next to each other in the same room but I could not get the remote adapter to pick up on the encryption. After...

Works brilliantly - plug and play!
I've had this product for a couple of months and am pleased to report that it works brilliantly. Installation couldn't be simpler. I plugged each of these into an outlet in the same room/same circuit and attached one end to a RJ45 Ethernet wall jack and the other to my DirecTV HR22 DVR. The DVR immediately saw that it had Internet access and was able to stream high definition movies (DirecTV's "whole home DVR" feature) anywhere in my house.
I had previously tried to stream high definition movies using aTRENDnet Wireless N Gaming Adapter TEW-647GA (Black) connected to my 802.11G network. The trendnet over 802.11g was not able to stream high definition content. Even when the trendnet was able to connect reliably, high def content streamed so poorly that it was unwatchable.
With the ZyXEL, high definition streams without any glitches! We are quite pleased as we had no other way to get an...
In my house with Comcast internet service
I discovered this product via a team-mate at work. He said he had problems with his in-house wifi. He said this was a snap to set up. I am pleased to report that his estimation of the ZyXEL prodeuct was spot-on! Total time to set up the ZyXEL network took less than 15 minutes. The only reason it took 15 minutes is that it took me two tries to find two wall outlets on the same circuit. But once found and connected ... Wow!! I have a Blu-Ray DVD that connects to both Netflix and You Tube. Since I have a Netflix account, I was able to connect to Netflix immediately and scan the movies/programs in my queue. Playing movies through the ZyXEL connection worked perfectly. Occasionally, my Comcast network speed increased/decreased and my DVD recomputed the best settings to yield the best playback. It's a little annoying when this happens; but this is a "feature" of Comcast. The ZyXEL performed perfectly.
