Zyxel P-660HN-F1Z Wireless N 4-Port Router
This is a slightly strange review – I’m reviewing an N-band router without actually owning (that I’m aware of) any equipment that receives N-band. However, what I want to know is whether (and the theory goes that it should) it will still improve signal strength. The Zyxel comes in relatively modest packaging which, to be [...]

A Real Fix
Ok, here’s the latest on my problems with Real Player . After writing the original post, I tried my Netbook and found I was having the same problems. However, the same Netbook, connected to my work’s wireless network, would work fine. Conclusion – the problem was with my router or ISP. Time to dig out the router that O2 sent [...]
