Introduction
Q1000Z is a VDSL2 router that provides super high-speed Internet
access through a telephone line. It allows you to enjoy high-bandwidth
applications, such as video streaming, on-line gaming and peer-to-peer
(P2P). You can also set up a secure wireless network connection using
the WPS button. Additionally, you can connect your telephone to the
Q1000Z and make/receive PSTN calls.

Checking the LEDs (Lights)
Look at the LEDs (lights) on the top panel of the Q1000Z.
• The POWER light blinks during start-up and is green once the
Q1000Z is ready.
• The DSL light is green if a physical DSL connection exists and
blinks when transmitting data.
• The INTERNET light is green when Internet access is available.
• The ETHERNET light turns on if the ETHERNET port is properly
connected. The light blinks when the Q1000Z is sending or
receiving data through the ETHERNET port.
• The WIFI light turns on when the wireless network is enabled.
 If none of the LEDs (lights) are on, check your connections.
Make sure that you have the power adaptor connected to the
Q1000Z and plugged in to an appropriate power source.
Make sure the power source is turned on. Turn the Q1000Z
off, wait for a few seconds and turn it back on. If the LEDs
are still off, contact your local vendor.
As of writing, the USB LED is reserved for future use.

Testing Internet Connection
After you have connected the hardware and turned on the Q1000Z, open
a web browser on your computer and go to any web site (for example,
www.zyxel.com) to test your Internet connection.
If you are prompted for a user name and password, enter the account

If the INTERNET light is off but the DSL light is on, go to the Initial
Configuration section to configure your Internet access settings.
Initial Configuration

 If the main screen does not display, make sure your

3. Be careful to avoid damaging pipes or cables located inside the wall
when drilling holes for the screws.
4. Do not insert the screws all the way into the wall. Leave a small gap of
about 0.5 cm between the heads of the screws and the wall.
5. Make sure the screws are snugly fastened to the wall. They need to
hold the weight of the Q1000Z with the connection cables.
