Here are my ZyXEL P-2812HNU-F1 settings.
Description
Integrated Access Device (IAD): this device is a modem and a router, and you can also make VoIP calls with traditional analog telephones.
Problem: can't connect to the Internet, try this "triple-procedure"
"Reset DSL Line" + "Reboot" (web browser userinterface) + "Hard Boot" (shutdown modem for a minute, start modem, wait at least for a minute)
Actually, the "Apply as Default Gateway" setting seems to be important.
Problem: Internet connection lost (when Ethernet cable plugged/unplugged)
If you connect or disconnect an Ethernet cable you lose connection. Workaround: turn off ZyXEL, connect/disconnect cable and turn on ZyXEL and reconnecting to the Internet might be faster.
Problem: Internet connection lost (when WLAN turned on/off)
If you turn on/off WLAN you lose connection. Workaround: enable/disable WLAN, then turn off ZyXEL and turn it back on and wait for the Internet connection to become available again.
Tip: try to turn on/off WLAN using a web browser instead of pressing the physical WLAN button.
Problem: MacBook Pro and WLAN
Use channel 11 for WLAN.
Comments
Recognizes a 1 000 Mbps (approximately 1 Gbps) Cross-Over Ethernet cable when one is plugged in.
