Chapter 1 Getting To Know Your ZyXEL Device
1.2  Features
High Speed Internet Access
Your ZyXEL Device ADSL/ADSL2/ADSL2+ router can support downstream transmission 
rates of up to 24Mbps and upstream transmission rates of 3.5Mbps. Actual speeds attained 
depend on the ADSL service you subscribed to, distance from your ISP, line quality, etc.
Triple Play Service
The ZyXEL Device is a Triple Play Gateway, capable of simultaneously transferring data, 
voice and video over the Internet. The Gateway possesses advanced Quality of Service (QoS) 
features to provide a high standard of Triple Play delivery.
 Zero Configuration Internet Access
Once you connect and turn on the ZyXEL Device, it automatically detects the Internet 
connection settings (such as the VCI/VPI numbers and the encapsulation method) from the 
ISP and makes the necessary configuration changes. In cases where additional account 
information (such as an Internet account user name and password) is required or the ZyXEL 
Device cannot connect to the ISP, you will be redirected to web screen(s) for information input 
or troubleshooting.
Any IP
The Any IP feature allows a computer to access the Internet and the ZyXEL Device without 
changing the network settings (such as IP address and subnet mask) of the computer, when the 
IP addresses of the computer and the ZyXEL Device are not in the same subnet.
Firewall
The ZyXEL Device is a stateful inspection firewall with DoS (Denial of Service) protection. 
By default, when the firewall is activated, all incoming traffic from the WAN to the LAN is 
blocked unless it is initiated from the LAN. The ZyXEL Device firewall supports TCP/UDP 
inspection, DoS detection and prevention, real time alerts, reports and logs.
Content Filtering
Content filtering allows you to block access to forbidden Internet web sites, schedule when the 
ZyXEL Device should perform the filtering and give trusted LAN IP addresses unfiltered 
Internet access.
Traffic Redirect
Traffic redirect forwards WAN traffic to a backup gateway when the ZyXEL Device cannot 
connect to the Internet, thus acting as an auxiliary if your regular WAN connection fails.
