(More customer reviews)As all the other reviews say, this is very easy to set up and works great. No software to install, just plug it in and you are good.
It does not work from a power strip though.
Here's the WARNING. Because you can't run these via powerstrip, they are directly plugged into your wall and then your computer(s). I happen to have my network on a wireless router, so the "in" signal for the ZyXEL was coming from the router.
Well, there was a powersurge yesterday sometime and because there was no power strip/surge protector to stop it - the serge went through the Cat5 cable from the ZyXEL and DESTROYED my $200 router.
I'm looking into a Cat5 surge protector, but just wanted warn everyone that this can happen. If not in use, I recommend unplugging the cables from your computer(s) and router.
The system itself works great, but I had to take off the stars because it cost my family an extra $200 to replace the router.
