Security Advisories

ZyXEL have a page with their Security Advisories: https://www.zyxel.com/support/security_advisories.shtml

'Consumer' grade

It's worth noting that this is a consumer grade router which is ideal for home use or for small offices. Different or additional hardware may be more suitable for larger or more complex networks, larger offices or to cover a larger area with WiFi access.

Admin and WiFi passwords

We ship the router with a basic configuration which is just enough to get the router to log in to us and fetch its full configuration for your line. There are settings on the control pane which can set the SSID, passwords etc, but until the router has been sent its full configuration it is in an 'unconfigured' state.
