P-660HWP-Dx Quick Start Guide
1
Overview
The P-660HWP-Dx is a gateway which combines high-speed ADSL Internet access, a
built-in switch, a firewall, and HomePlug AV and high-speed wireless networking
capability.
The figure below shows the P-660HWP-Dx connecting devices via a firewalled DSL
connection to the Internet through:
• standard electrical wiring and HomePlug AV adapters (“A”)
• wireless
• direct, wired connections using the P-660HWP-Dx’s built-in switch.
The P-660HWP-Dx is also a firewall, providing greater security for your local network(s).
This Quick Start Guide shows you the most common settings for connecting to the
Internet, configuring your wireless settings and setting up your HomePlug AV network.
For more information on all features see your User’s Guide on the CD that came in the
package.
To read the User’s Guide insert the CD that came in the box into your CD-ROM drive. A
screen should pop up. Navigate to the User’s Guide from this screen. If a screen does not
pop up, open Windows Explorer (click My Computer), click on the CD-ROM drive (usually
drive D:) and navigate to it from there.

use the same SSID (network name), channel and security settings.
If you do not set wireless security then anyone within range could use your P-660HWP-Dx
to access your network and the Internet.
Choose WPA-PSK wireless security if your wireless device supports it as it is stronger than
WEP.

5Click Finish to complete and save the wizard setup. Your Internet connection is ready for
you to use. Open a browser such as Internet Explorer and navigate to a website.
4 Setting Up a Wireless Network
To set up a wireless network you need at least one wireless network card/adapter.
• If you have a desktop computer, use either a wireless USB adapter or a wireless PCI
adapter.
• If you have a laptop, use either a wireless USB adapter or a wireless CardBus card. These
are built into many laptops.
To add a computer to your network you need to configure your wireless-enabled computer
with the same SSID, channel and security settings as the P-660HWP-Dx.
Alternatively, use OTIST, ZyXEL's One-Touch Intelligent Security Technology (OTIST)
feature. It allows you to automatically configure the SSID and WPA-PSK on all OTIST-
equipped wireless clients within range of the P-660HWP-Dx. See the Wireless LAN
chapter in the Users’ Guide for more information on OTIST.
5 HomePlug AV Network Setup
Follow these steps to set up your HomePlug AV network on standard electrical wiring with
a new password.
1Plug your P-660HWP-Dx and other HomePlug AV devices into power outlets and turn
them on. Your P-660HWP-Dx will try to detect other HomePlug AV devices on the
same electrical wiring.
2Check the POWERLINE ( ) LED for a HomePlug AV connection.
• If the LED does not display, your device has a problem detecting another HomePlug AV
device. Go to Troubleshooting for more information.
• If the LED light is green, the P-660HWP-Dx detects other HomePlug AV devices and you
are ready to set up your network.
You need to configure the power line settings of the P-660HWP-Dx, as well as the power
line settings of the other devices you wish to add to your network.
3Go to Network > Powerline > Local Setting to configure the P-660HWP-Dx’s power
line settings.
• Select Enable Powerline.

• Type the Network Password for your network. This will connect you to other Home-
Plug AV devices which have the same password and allow you to configure them.
HomePlugAV is the default password for ZyXEL HomePlug AV devices.
• You do not need to type the Device Access Key (DAK) for the P-660HWP-Dx unless
you want to change it.
• Click Apply.
4Go to Network > Powerline > Remote Setting to make a new network with a new
Network Password and add the other HomePlug AV devices to your new network.
• Select a device listed in Remote Stations In The Same Network and type a new
Network Password.
• Type the Device Access Key (DAK) in the Login Remote Device Access Key field.
The DAK identifies each device. For ZyXEL HomePlug AV products the DAK is on
an attached label. Click Apply. The device disappears from the list of Remote Sta-
tions In The Same Network. With a different password it now is on a different net-
work.
• Repeat for all devices you want to add to your network.
5Go back to Network > Powerline > Local Setting to change your P-660HWP-Dx’s
Network Password to the new one and connect it to your new HomePlug AV network.
Type your new Network Password and click Apply.
6Check the other devices you selected previously are now on the list of Remote
Stations In The Same Network by going to Network > Powerline > Remote Setting. If
all devices are correctly listed, your HomePlug AV network is now ready for use.

Troubleshooting
VIf you cannot access the web configurator check the following.
1Your computer may be set to use a static IP address in a different subnet from the
ZyXEL device. See the User’s Guide for information on setting up your IP address.
2If you are using Internet Explorer in Windows XP or Windows Server 2003, make sure
you allow pop-up windows, JavaScript and Java permissions or set the Internet security
level lower than High in Internet Explorer (in Internet Explorer, click Tools > Internet
Options > Security > Custom Level...). See the appendix in the User’s Guide for more
information.
VIf the Internet/Wireless Setup Wizard cannot detect a DSL connection
check the following.
1Check your connections and restart the device.
2Contact your ISP to check the status of your account.
VIf you do not see the ISP Parameters for Internet Access screen when you
run the Internet/Wireless Wizard, follow these steps.
1Log in to the P-660HWP-Dx’s web configurator. (See section 3.1.)
2Select Go to Advanced setup and click Apply.
3The Status screen appears. Click Network > WAN in the navigation panel on the left of
the screen.
4Ensure that the settings in this screen are the same as those your ISP gave you. If your
ISP gave you a static IP address to use, select Static IP Address in the IP Address

section and enter it in the IP Address field. If not, select Obtain an IP Address
Automatically. Click Apply and run the Internet/Wireless Setup wizard again r
VIf you have a DSL connection and have entered your ISP settings, but you
cannot access the Internet, follow these steps.
1Check you have correctly entered the information your ISP gave you.
2If you are using Bridge mode (check Mode in the Network > WAN > Internet
Connection screen) click NAT > General and ensure Active Network Address
Translation (NAT) is not selected. Click LAN > DHCP Setup and ensure that DHCP is
set to None. Your ISP gives your computer an IP address directly. If you want to
access the P-660HWP-Dx again, you need to use a static IP address in the same
subnet as your P-660HWP-Dx (the P-660HWP-Dx’s default IP LAN address is http://
192.168.1.1).
3Click the wizard icon ( ). Run the Internet/Wireless Setup wizard again.
4Contact your Internet Service Provider to check the status of your account.
5If you still have problems, see Troubleshooting in the User’s Guide.
VIf you cannot access the Internet using the wireless network, do the
following.
On a computer connected to the P-660HWP-Dx, make sure your P-660HWP-Dx and the
computers on your wireless network are using the same SSID, channel and wireless
security settings. See the chapter on Wireless LAN in the User’s Guide for more
information.

VIf you cannot access your HomePlug AV network, try the following:
1Make sure that the network password is the same on all of your HomePlug AV adapters
and that the DAKs for your HomePlug AV devices are typed correctly.
2Make sure that all the power line adapters you are using are HomePlug AV compliant.
The P-660HWP-Dx does NOT recognize earlier versions of HomePlug adapters such
as HomePlug 1.0 or 1.0.1.
3Plug a second HomePlug AV adapter into an adjacent outlet (to your P-660HWP-Dx)
and see if the POWERLINE LED lights up. This checks whether the P-660HWP-Dx
can detect the power line adapters on your electrical circuit.
