ZyXEL NBG-318S
$110.00
Released May, 2006
The Pros:Simplicity of setting up a power line/HomePlug network. Rock solid stability on power line, wireless, and wired interfaces. Really good control interface.
The Cons:Runs a bit hot. The Homeplug network's signal quality (and hence the achievable bandwidth) is extremely sensitive to noisy appliances plugged into the same circuit. NOT plug an play.
The ZyXEL NBG-318S is a 3-in-1 wireless HomePlug AV router that utilizes Super G Technology to offer wireless performance up to 108Mbps. What makes it so unique is that it can either connect wirelessly, via Ethernet, or through an electric wall plug.

Essentially, users can by broadband, use power lines as a network backbone (in case of IP failure), and then transmit wirelessly through an entire home or office. Plus, the NBG-318S utilizes advanced QoS (Quality of Service) features to deliver “triple play” multimedia services, including high-quality digital video streams, high-speed Internet access, and even voice services. Additional features of the ZyXEL NBG-318S router include advanced 128-bit AES Security Protection, throughput up to 200Mbps over power lines, and secure file transfers. The ZyXEL NBG-318S retails for $109.99 and comes with a 2 year limited warranty.
