Slideshow: Zyxel NBG318S Wireless Powerline Router

The Zyxel NBG318S packs an 802.11b/g wireless router, three port 10/100 switch and HomePlug AV support into a compact package.

Maximum throughput is around 55 Mbps, when uplink or downlink is running separately. But when both are active, throughput is highly variable (lower traces in plot). Maximum simultaneous connections are also very low at only 16. This is not a router for P2P or gaming applications. See the Router Charts for more info and comparison to other products.
