5. If the problem continues, contact the vendor.

1. The default LAN IP address is 192.168.1.1.

2. If you changed the IP address and have forgotten it, you can find the IP address of your default gateway. In most Windows computers, click Start > Run, enter cmd, and then enter ipconfig. The IP address listed as the “Default Gateway” may be the IP address of your Zyxel Device. Enter this IP address in your Internet browser.

3. If this does not work, you must reset the device to its factory defaults.

2. Check the hardware connections and ensure the LEDs are behaving as expected.

3. Make sure your Internet browser does not block pop-up windows and has JavaScript and Java enabled.

4. If possible, try to log in from another interface (like Telnet) and check the service control settings for HTTP and HTTPS under Maintenance > Remote MGMT.

5. Reset the device to its factory defaults and try to access it with the default IP address.

6. If the problem persists, try logging out of any earlier management sessions or accessing the device using another service like Telnet to check firewall rules.

1. Make sure you have entered the password correctly. The field is case-sensitive, so ensure Caps Lock is not on. Refer to the cover page for default login information.

2. You cannot log in to the web configurator while someone else is using Telnet to access the device. Log out of the other session.

3. Turn the Zyxel Device off and on.

4. If the issue persists, reset the device to its factory defaults.

1. Make sure the DSL WAN port is connected to a telephone jack (or the DSL/modem jack on a splitter).

2. Ensure you have configured a proper DSL WAN interface in the Network Setting > Broadband screen with the correct account information from your ISP and that it is enabled.

3. Check that the LAN interface you are connected to is in the same interface group as the DSL connection (Network Setting > Interface Grouping).

4. If you are using a WAN connection with a bridging service, make sure the DHCP feature in the LAN screen is turned off to allow clients to get WAN IP addresses directly from your ISP’s DHCP server.

The following factors may cause interference:

• Obstacles: walls, ceilings, furniture, and so on.

• Building Materials: metal doors, aluminum studs.

• Electrical devices: microwaves, monitors, electric motors, cordless phones, and other wireless devices.

To optimize the speed and quality of your wireless connection, you can:

• Move your wireless device closer to the AP if the signal strength is low.

• Reduce wireless interference from other wireless networks or electronics like cordless phones.

• Place the AP where there are minimal obstacles (like walls and ceilings) between it and the wireless client.

• Reduce the number of wireless clients connecting to the same AP simultaneously.

• Try closing some programs that use a lot of Internet bandwidth, especially peer-to-peer applications.
