PC connection

The modem is connected to the computer via a patch cord, for this it is necessary to connect one end of the wire to the network interface of the “machine” and the other to the device itself. In addition, you will need an ISP cable (we connect it to the WAN port). Characteristics of the modem allow you to use it via a USB interface (USB cables and patch cord are supplied with the equipment). Experts do not recommend using the second method, it can bear many difficulties in setting up (low bandwidth, the need to find drivers, etc.).

Customization

The device is configured through a simple interface. Getting into it is easy, it is only important to enter the address 192.168.1.1 in the browser and set the password (the standard for the ZYXEL P600 series is 1234).

To set up a PPPoE network for Rostelecom, it is important to find the Nerwork tab, and then click “WAN”. In this section, you should make certain adjustments by setting the following parameters:

  • “Encapsulation” - PPPoE;
  • login / pass - enter the data issued by the provider;
  • VCI - 33;
  • VPI - 0;
  • HTU - 1492 (issue IP automatically);
  • set the flag in the field nailed-up connection.

The setting on this is considered complete, after restarting the PC the Internet should appear.

Firmware

ZYXEL P600 series firmware is also fast. At the first stage, you need to download the firmware for a specific device from the ZyXEL website. Experienced users are advised to take the latest version. Unpack the resulting archive in a convenient place. Now in the device interface, select Maintenance - Tools - Browse and among the unpacked files, find the element with the extension * .bin.
