Note: If the Zyxel Device cannot connect to the Internet, use the DHCP- assigned IP address of the Zyxel Device to access its web configurator. Check the connected router or DHCP server for the IP address of the Zyxel Device.

Wired connection

Use an Ethernet cable to connect your computer to the UPLINK port of the Zyxel Device through a Pot injector or Pot switch.
Use its DHCP-assigned IP or default static IP address “http://192.168.1.2” to access the web configurator. Make sure your computer IP address is in the same subnet as the Zyxel Device’s.
