Review on CenturyLink ZyXEL C1100Z 802.11n VDSL2 Wireless Gateway by Marvin Short

I purchased this wireless gateway as a recommended upgrade from CenturyLink's technical support team for an originally shipped Zyxel C1000Z wireless gateway that was not working for the past few months. The device has been online for a little over a week and after initially requiring assistance from CenturyLink's technical support team to resolve issues with proper internet connectivity, it is working flawlessly. So far, its performance has been similar to that of the Zyxel C1000Z. Wireless Gateway tested with Speedtest in Enhernet and WiFi mode, where Enhernet speeds match nominal purchased speed tier, but like C1000Z, C1100Z WiFi speeds vary between 0% and 50% of nominal Enhernet speed. CenturyLink's technical support team was unable to resolve this issue. I purchased a Netgear Nighthawk AC1900/R7000 Smart WiFi Router on the recommendation of a network specialist at my local grocery store. I disabled the Zyxel C1100Z Wireless Gateway's WiFi function and used a Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 as my WiFi router instead and now I'm seeing consistent WiFi speeds between 75% and 100% of the enhernet speed, WOW, thanks network guy.
