The PLDT DSL Modem+Wifi Router Experience

Zyxel P-660HN-F1A Modem / WiFi Router 4-port (PLDT DSL release)

I didn’t get mine from PLDT, I think it is a little bit too overpriced when I upgrade and get it from my existing DSL line. Let’s just say that I’m lucky to get this at almost half the price. Although I already have modem provided by PLDT, and I think buying separate Wi-fi router will consume another slot on the outlet. Why have two if you can have DSL modem and Wireless router in one device.

The unit provided is a Zyxel P-660HN-F1A which is a DSL modem and wireless router combined. The package includes everything you need to set up WLAN connection on your home such and the installation is very easy. Setting up the security feature is available in two ways, first is through the web browser or you can use the installation genie found on the CD provided in the package. It is very much recommended to set a password to secure your connection. It also have a four (4) Ethernet/LAN slot if you have multiple PC at home.

The speed is good even with 2 or more devices are using the connection simultaneously (of course it depends on your bandwidth). And the range is quite extensive. According to the specs it can go as far as 25 meters on open area, means no obstruction like walls.

So far my PLDT Modem + Wi-fi Router experience is good. 

(Note: This is only a home-use experience; if you want Wi-fi for business I suggest that you invest on high-end wireless router available in the market. )
