I bought this to set-up as a client bridge on my network. I followed the directions given by David Marzo in his review of Aug 2009, which is a good thing because the instructions that come with the router were not as helpful. I got it up and running in about 10 minutes. I’ve had about 1 month and no issues.

Zyxel has **OUTSTANDING** customer support and any issues you have with the product is handled by a knowledgeable American. Problems solved in a jiffy (due to my ignorance with networking). I had another router from another company and wasted hours dealing with a script reading incompetent from their outsourced India office.
Zyxel has a great rep for making terric products and this unit is no different. Get the latest firmware (a thing you should do with ANY routing gear) which solves some peoples disconnection issues and you’re good to go!
Remember, with any networking equipment, if you’re patching different gear (i.e. access points, routers) with B, G or N from different companies and you have either cable or DSL, you’re goimng to have to do different things in the setup. And that’s where customer support comes in to the rescue for perfect customization.
Zyxel is thumbs up all the way!

After spending many hours trying to make an old Netgear wireless router function as a wireless bridge, I found several recommendations for this product. It was exactly as advertised! Ridiculously easy to set up and very affordable. I plan to order two more very soon!

I am using three of these in different locations. Two are set up in BRIDGE mode, and act as wireless access points to a wired network. The third is used as the router. Easy to set up, works perfectly, I can’t remember the last time any of them needed to be reset. Well worth the inexpensive cost.

This is an excellent product. It is rock solid and works well as an endpoint. I bought it to connect our DVD player to our wireless network. Works great for Netflix instant movies and NEVER goes down.

This is one of the few devices I’ve found that can be a bridge (a wireless Ethernet device), an AP/Router, or a WISP router. And for the money, this is a great buy.
I had a problem making WPA work in client/bridge mode, but I found a workaround that I’ll share:
There is a bug in the P-330W Wireless / Security screen. The WPA/WPA2 TKIP Passphrase field is not storing the passphrase correctly.
I can reproduce this 100% of the time.
WORKAROUND:
Avoid the Wireless / Security settings entirely
1. Click on P-330W Setup Wizard
2. at WAN Interface Setup, click Next
3. at Wireless Basic Settings, set the SSID for the AP of which you want this bridge to be a client, click Next
4. at Wireless Security Setup, choose the WPA(TKIP) method (I did not try the other two WPA methods, but this probably applies to any WPA method with a passphrase).
5. Click Finish
6. Click Wireless / Basic Settings
7. Set Mode to Client, click Save
With this issue resolved, I’m enjoying this device very much.

I purchased this unit because my linksys cable modem/wireless router combined unit was not working (despite being brand new) with my system. I hooked back up my motarola surfboard and this unit, and within 20 minutes I had internet on my wireless notebook and on my desktop. Very easy set up, easy to follow book and instructions, and CD support software is excellent also. After rebates I got this unit for a steal. Highly recommended.

The router arrived quickly and was installed in a matter of minutes. It has worked wonderfully well, allowing for rapid downloads to the PC while successfully connecting the laptop to the internet. No problems with any aspect of this product. I heartily recommend this for use.

Highly recommended, nice product.

Setup as a wireless bridge to my Linksys WRT54GL router was easy and it works great. Reliable streaming of Netflix to my TV.
Only negative was waiting over a week for shipment from Amazon. Order was entered Dec 1, 2009 but was not even shipped until the 5th. Wow. I wish Newegg would carry this product.
