Customer Review: Has its uses, but not for me
Summary: 2 Stars
I was looking for a wireless device that I could take on travel that would allow my iPod Touch and my laptop to communicate. This seemed like it could be the thing. I found it to be too complex to try to configure - couldn't get it to allow communications between the iPod and the PC. I returned it and purchased the D-Link DWL-G730AP Wireless Pocket Router for about the same price. It does exactly what I want - gives me a standalone wireless network on which the laptop and iPod can both reside.
The reason I went for the ZyXEL first was because I wanted something compact and light - space and weight are the enemy when you travel with only a carry-on. The D-Link looks bulky, with its case and AC adapter and cables. But it turns out all I have to carry is the little-bitty router and very short USB cable for its power. Weighs nothing, about the size of a chocolate-chip cookie.
Customer Review: Not a Happy Camper
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this product because it was supposed to work with Macs. I was svery disappointed in the results. I was under the impression I could plug it in to a USB outlet and hook up to my local wifi network. First, I had to download the driver and I couldn't get that to work with a Mac. Ended up having to borrow a PC to download the Mac drivers. Then, and still, am having troubles installing the driver such that the product works like it should. Have sent several emails to Zyxel for help and received only a standard automatic reply. To put it bluntly, they were no help. The product finds the wifi network but will not connect to it.

I ordered this product in June and didn't get around to trying it out until it was too late to return it. The built-in WiFi finder works great but I'm not able to use it with my netbook. I went to the ZyXEL website and the product is note even listed!
