I've running eCS 1.14 (all fixes applied) connected to the Zyxel 
650H-E. I send and receive all emails in amy size, big and small news, 
travel from WEB page to WEB page, download files in any size, use it 
to connect through BINKP to my FIDONet uplink getting up to 1.600 CPS 
in downstream.

You should login to 192.168.1.1 using mozilla, go through the wizard 
setup - or look into each setup menue and check each and any entry.

In special:
LAN: when your LAN is based on statiic IP:
      DHCP:
            DHCP: NONE
            anything else: N/A
      TCP/IP:
            ip address 192.168.1.1
            IP subnetmask 255.255.255.0
            RIP Direction: Both
            RIP Version RIP-2B
            Multicast: None

WAN:
    Mode: Routing
    Encapsulation: PPPoE
    Multiplex: LLC
    anything else: default

    give your User Name and password exactly gotten from your ISP

    SUA only

anything else: default. (You can play with it when anything works).
