Zoom X6 5590 Wireless Router

Pros: All-in-one solution for DSL users who need wireless networking.
Cons: Auto-setup doesn't work. Unclear status and error feedback.

Why I got this I purchased this to replace two items - an old Microsoft wireless router, and an unreliable ActionTec DSL modem I rent from my phone company (I'm on my 3rd ActionTec modem in 4 years). Features Combines a DSL modem, ...

Pros: 4-In-One functionality!, Up-to-date ADSL standards and compatibility, easy setup.
Cons: None so far.

I recently switched to an Apple iMac G5 and Mac Mini for home use (Love 'em both!). With both these units came 802.11g. I am using Mac OS X 10.4.2. Another review made me worry about Mac compatibility, but my experience was the complete opposite (no ...

Pros: The unit has a lot of great features packaged in one unit.
Cons: Connection problems.

I purchased a ZOOM X6 5590 ADSL wireless router modem to replace a Westell modem furnished by my DSL provider when it was fired by a lightning strike. I had to also replace a SMC wireless router. Since the strike took place on a Friday night it would ...

Pros: Cheap, small, many attractive features.
Cons: Does not work.

This is an attractive and potentially very useful device: a four-port ethernet hub, an ADSL modem with internal NAT (support multiple local computers), and wireless hub. When my ISP-supplied DSL modem died I grabbed this from the shelf at Fry's thinking, ...

Pros: I liked allot of the other features
Cons: 1464 is not full size packets amount's to lower speed.

Zoom's 1500 MTU is limited 1464 up and down with PPPoA that cut's the size of your up load and download packets it's a smaller payload and zoom wont fix it.

Pros: All in one capabilities Easy set-up
Cons: Nothing yet

I got the ZOOM ADSL X6 to replace a DSL router/modem and a wireless unit that went through a lightning strike. I read mixed reviews and was skeptical at first but I have nothing but good to say about this purchase. Range and speed are as good or better than my previous units (Netopia and Netgear) without all the clutter and cables. The negatives reviews I read dealt more with techies that wanted to integrate their own firewall software but I'm good with the WEP encryption and my existing firewall so that's not a problem for me. I've not had to deal with support so I don't have an opinion on them but it's been 6 months and I've not yet found a reason to complain about this product. For a low-tech guy like me, this is one of my best purchases.
