20.2  ZyXEL Device Access and Login
V
I forgot the IP address for the ZyXEL Device.
The default IP address is 192.168.1.2.
If you changed the IP address and have forgotten it, you might get the IP address of the 
ZyXEL Device by looking up the IP address of the default gateway for your computer. 
To do this in most Windows computers, click Start > Run, enter “cmd”, and then enter 
ipconfig”. The IP address of the Default Gateway might be the IP address of the 
ZyXEL Device (it depends on the network), so enter this IP address in your Internet 
browser. 
You can also use the following methods to access the web configurator:
• If you know your ZyXEL Device’s System Name, enter it in your browser’s URL bar. 
The default System Name is NWA-Series. See 
 for information 
on locating and changing the ZyXEL Device’s System Name.
"
If you changed the System Name, and the new name is over 15 characters long, 
you must enter NWA-Series instead.
• If you know your ZyXEL Device’s MAC (Media Access Control) address, enter its 
last six characters in your browser’s URL bar, in the format zyxelXX:XX:XX, where 
XX:XX:XX represents the MAC address characters. The MAC address is usually 
printed on a label on the ZyXEL Device.
"
The ZyXEL Device has two MAC addresses; one for the wired interface (LAN, or 
Local Area Network) and one for the wireless interface (WLAN, or Wireless 
Local Area Network). Use the LAN MAC address when accessing the ZyXEL 
Device over the wired network, and use the WLAN MAC address when 
accessing the ZyXEL Device over the wireless interface.
If this does not work, you have to reset the device to its factory defaults. See 
.

I forgot the password.
The default password is 1234.
