1.2 Applications for the Zyxel Device
Wireless WAN
The Zyxel Device can connect to the Internet through a SIM card to access a wireless WAN connection.
Just insert a SIM card into the SIM card slot on the Zyxel Device.
Note: You must insert the SIM card into the card slot before turning on the Zyxel Device.
Internet Access
Your Zyxel Device provides shared Internet access by connecting to a cellular network. Connect the
LAN port of the Zyxel Device to an indoor gateway/router through an RJ45 cable to allow multiple WiFi
clients to access the Internet.
A computer can connect (with Ethernet cables and a PoE injector) to the Zyxel Device’s LAN port for
configuration via the Web Configurator.
Wireless LAN (WiFi)
The Zyxel Device WiFi is for local management so you cannot access the Internet through WiFi. Connect
a computer/smartphone to the Zyxel Device’s WiFi and use the Web Configurator to configure your
Zyxel Device.

1.3 How to Manage your Zyxel Device
You can use the following way to manage your Zyxel Device.
• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of Zyxel Device using a
(supported) web browser.
• Zyxel Air app. The Zyxel Air app is available on App Store for Apple devices and Google Play for
Android devices. Use the Zyxel Air app for setup and management of the Zyxel Device on your
smartphone. You can also use the app for finding the optimal 5G NR signal strength. See the Zyxel Air
app QSG for more information. To install the app, scan the QR code on the QSG.
If you are using a computer for web configuration, there are two ways to connect to the Zyxel Device:

• Use the WiFi connection provided by the Zyxel Device.
• Connect the computer’s LAN port to the LAN (PoE) on the Zyxel Device. See the QSG for more
information.
1.4 Good Habits for Managing the Zyxel Device
Do the following things regularly to make the Zyxel Device more secure and to manage the Zyxel
Device more effectively.
• Change the password. Use a password that is not easy to guess and that consists of different types of
characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Refer to Section 33.2 on page
260. Restoring an earlier working configuration may be useful if the Zyxel Device becomes unstable or
even crashes. If you forget your password to access the Web Configurator, you will have to reset the
Zyxel Device to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would
not have to totally re-configure the Zyxel Device. You could simply restore your last configuration.
Write down any information your ISP provides you.
