Re: ZyXEL NBG334W Failure
I got my NBG334W with the G202 adapter back in early March this year from Buy.com, through eBay, for $32.00 including shipping. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much for the price, but several posters here highly recommended it, so I went for it despite never having heard of ZyXEL..
I unboxed it and hooked it up and it was a pleasant surprise from the beginning. Got 1 desktop hardwired to it and run a couple of other machines off it wirelessly through the house. I'm just using the NBG334W router since the old NetGear USB G-adaptors I had were still good. I've just put the G202 adaptor away until I may need it.
Mines been working flawlessly for over 3 months now, and I've done considerable bragging about it. I'll be disappointed if it craps out on me before the 2 year warranty expires. I just don't like going through router failures more than once every 5-6 years or so...

|  I also purchase the NBG334W kit, ie. the router and G-202 USB adapter, just before Christmas. I lucked out and got it for $20. Great device so far with no issues what so ever. I can even use the G-202 on my Ubuntu laptop without jumping through a lot of hoops to get drivers loaded, etc...

| After I got my initial replacement, it worked great for a while. Apparently I have horrible luck when it comes to ordering things from the internet (An Xbox 360 I ordered new from Amazon around Christmas came with a disc drive that was broken out of the box.  ) |

|  Did you contact ZyXEL about getting the failed unit replaced? If not I would call them up.
