Within 20 to 25 feet of the router, the signal and speed are better than the G cards in the laptop/netbook. However, at a further distance, it performs worse. Where the netbook/laptop get a weak, though usable signal with the on board cards, this Zyxel gets nothing. It's also not the case that the router isn't broadcasting the N signal far enough, because 15 feet further from where this Zyxel isn't getting a signal, we have a Zyxel wireless N bridge hooked to a bluray that streams from the internet through the same wireless router without any issue whatsoever.
Though two of the three I now have are useless, I'll keep them as the price is bargain basement, isn't worth the hassle to return, and maybe a need will arise for them in the future.
First disappointment I've had with Zyxel in 13 years.
Update on 12/18/2011
A year and numerous technology advances later, there is now a better solution than changing everything you own to wireless-N. With the plummeting price of Powerline Ethernet, coupled with speed increases, interoperability, and major steps in reliability it is now an excellent alternative to full wireless in the home.
I've picked up refurbished Powerline units at $20 to $25 a pop and put them in those rooms where we have fixed devices streaming (bedrooms/family room). In the family room at the other end of of the house, I used a 4 port wireless bridge in A/P mode and plugged it in to the Powerline adapter there. The entertainment devices are able to have "wired" connectivity, and the portable devices have a local access point. So, bottom line, if like me, you were primarily interested in this wireless-N adapter to get further range in your home (for example), consider the Powerline alternative coupled with a cheap access point or bridge - I think you'll find it resolves the primary issue and you'll have much better results and reliability.
