Requires annoying updates and tweaking to work effectively
The P-660HWP combines an ADSL modem with an 802.11b/g Wifi router and a four-port 100Mbits/sec switch.
But the star feature is integrated Homeplug AV networking, which makes every electricity socket in your house a possible network point. It’s neat to integrate Homeplug into a router, but Zyxel’s implementation is incompatible with cheaper Homeplug 1.0 and Turbo (85Mbits/sec) devices, which rules out many early adopters of Homeplug technology.
Initially, internet access was consistently lost and only after a series of messy firmware updates and changing security settings could we get it working.
Overall: Requires annoying updates and tweaking to work effectively

ZyXEL Prestige 660HWP D1
have to agree with the previous comment, i've had one of these since December 2008 and had nothing but problems. Poor connetions, Random disconnects and terrible reliability

Newer....ewer buy a Zyxel !!!!
I had one and it kept disconnecting every half an hour. It's P660HW-T1. Three months i tried to put ir right. All bits from PC to telephone exchange were tweacked - no use. IT's total piece of crap. Connected Belkin now - any problem at all. Zyxel=waste of money.

Fit for the bin!
Total waste of time, I changed the LAN address to my preferred range, it now takes 2-3 mins to login to the admin and any links time out. Cheap crap from China.
