So I don't even know whether the new Zyxel modem may be defective.


I have contacted Axxess Technical support on this, but they were not much help. In the meantime I tried my old Netgear DGND4000, and this actually connects and works, even though the line is supposed to be VDSL, and this modem only supports ADSL2+.ĭoes anyone have any experience with this Zyxel modem, and have any idea if there are any unusual settings that one has to use with this modem in order to make it connect to VDSL ? The defaults do not work. This could mean that the modem is gone, but could also be as a result of the same issue picked up by the Zyxel, so I am not really sure whether the Pace is dead or not. The Pace, which seems ok in all respects, does not show a WAN connection. It does synch, but you cannot connect and login. Telkom have supposedly fixed the line, but it still seems to be problematic, and the Zyxel will not work on the line at all, it just gives an orange light, indicating a line problem. I use a couple of ISP's, including Telkom, Axxess, and MWeb. I don't really like the Pace modem / routers, so I ordered a Zyxel VMG1312 VDSL modem / router from Axxess. However, last Thursday I had a lightning strike on the line, and everything came to a halt. Would somebody with more experience of Zyxel please take a look at the settings and see if I have made a stupid error? When we get the connection running right, I'll up the DH group encryption, but it is low now because we had no idea of the actual connection speeds for testing.I have been using 20mbps VDSL for about two months now, since my exchange was upgraded, and it has been working very well. I've opened ports 500, 4500, 3283, and 5900 for IPSec and Apple Remote Desktop, which was working fine in testing using two RV320s. But no matter what I set at the Zyxel, we cannot get a VPN connection. I've taken a few screen shots (attached) of the settings in both the RV320, which was working over VPN to another RV320, and what we see now at the Zyxel setup screen.

The Zyxel uses some very odd terminology in the IPSec setup screen and without a manual I have had to guess what they mean. I have managed to get remote access to the Zyxel but am worried that setting to bridge mode will leave me "blind" and unable to complete the configuration.Īs a result, I've been wresting for the last 2 days trying to get the Zyxel and RV320 to "speak" with each other and they won't and I don't know where it is failing. One option is to set the PLDT gateway to bridge mode and have the RV320 do the PPoE and routing but there is nobody in the local office with any network experience so we are leaving this until somebody can get there.

Unfortunately PLDT has provided no manual for this gateway and we cannot find an online manual either! This means setting up the VPN IPSec between the RV320 in Tokyo and the Zyxel in Manila. We've been successfully testing a VPN using the Cisco RV320 between two small offices for a few weeks before deployment but a last minute change of carrier services has forced us to use-at least in the short term-a Zyxel VMG3926-B10B VDSL gateway/router from PLDT that has VPN IPSec services.
