1.1 Overview
This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the EMG6765-Q10A.
The EMG6765-Q10A extends the range of your existing wired network without additional wiring,
providing easy network access to mobile users. You can set up a wireless network with other IEEE
802.11a/ac/b/g/n compatible devices.
The EMG6765-Q10A is a dual-band AP and able to function both 2.4G and 5G networks at the same
time. You could use the 2.4 GHz band for regular Internet surfing and downloading while using the 5 GHz
band for time sensitive traffic like high-definition video, music, and gaming.
Figure 1 Dual-Band Application
CHAPTER 1
Introduction
A range of services such as a firewall and content filtering are also available for secure Internet
computing. There is one USB 2.0 port on the side panel of your EMG6765-Q10A, and the other one is on
the rear panel of your EMG6765-Q10A. You can connect USB (version 2.0 or lower) memory sticks, USB
hard drives, or USB devices for file sharing. The EMG6765-Q10A automatically detects the USB devices.
Make sure the USB LED is off before removing your USB device. This will remove your USB device safely,
preventing file or data loss if it is being transmitted through the USB device.
EMG6765-Q10A User’s Guide
12
Page 13
Note: For the USB function, it is strongly recommended to use version 2.0 or lower USB storage
devices (such as memory sticks, USB hard drives) and/or USB devices. Other USB
products are not guaranteed to function properly with the EMG6765-Q10A.
The EMG6765-Q10A also comes with one coaxial port that supports MoCA (Multimedia over Coax
Alliance) technology. Use MoCA technology to extend your network through a coaxial connection to
another MoCA device and/or a device connected to a MoCA adapter.
Use a (supported) web browser to manage the EMG6765-Q10A.
1.2 Applications
You can have the following networks with the EMG6765-Q10A:
• Wired. You can connect network devices via the Ethernet ports of the EMG6765-Q10A so that they
can communicate with each other and access the Internet.
• Wireless. Wireless clients can connect to the EMG6765-Q10A to access network resources. You can
use WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) to create an instant network connection with another WPScompatible device.
• WAN. Connect to a broadband modem/router for Internet access.

Chapter 1 Introduction
1.3 Ways to Manage the EMG6765-Q10A
Use any of the following methods to manage the EMG6765-Q10A.
• WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). You can use the WPS button or the WPS section of the Web Configurator
to set up a wireless network with your EMG6765-Q10A.
• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the EMG6765-Q10A using a
(supported) web browser.

Chapter 1 Introduction
1.4 Good Habits for Managing the EMG6765-Q10A
Do the following things regularly to make the EMG6765-Q10A more secure and to manage the
EMG6765-Q10A more effectively.
• Change the password. Use a password that’s 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). Restoring an earlier working
configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you forget your
password, you will have to reset the EMG6765-Q10A to its factory default settings. If you backed up
an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the EMG6765-Q10A. You could
simply restore your last configuration.
1.5 Resetting the EMG6765-Q10A
If you forget your password or IP address, or you cannot access the Web Configurator, you will need to
use the RESET button at the back of the EMG6765-Q10A to reload the factory-default configuration file.
This means that you will lose all configurations that you had previously saved, the user name will be reset
to “admin”, the password will be reset to the back-label default key, and the IP address will be reset to
“192.168.1.1” (router mode).
1.5.1 RESET Button
1 Make sure the power LED is on.
2 Press and hold the RESET button for more than 5 seconds, the power LED begins flashing.
3 Release the RESET button. The EMG6765-Q10A reloads factory-default settings and begins to reboot.
1.5.2 The WPS Button
Your EMG6765-Q10A supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), which is an easy way to set up a secure
wireless network. WPS is an industry standard specification, defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance.
WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure
security settings manually. Each WPS connection works between two devices. Both devices must
support WPS (check each device’s documentation to make sure).
Depending on the devices you have, you can either press a button (on the device itself, or in its
configuration utility) or enter a PIN (a unique Personal Identification Number that allows one device to
authenticate the other) on each of the two devices. When WPS is activated on a device, it has two
minutes to find another device that also has WPS activated. Then, the two devices connect and set up
a secure network by themselves.
You can use the WPS button ( ) on the side panel of the EMG6765-Q10A to activate WPS in order to
quickly set up a wireless network with strong security.
1 Make sure the power LED is on (not blinking).

6.5 Configuring Static Route for Routing to Another Network
In order to extend your Intranet and control traffic flowing directions, you may connect a router to the
EMG6765-Q10A’s LAN. The router may be used to separate two department networks. This tutorial shows
how to configure a static routing rule for two network routings.
In the following figure, router R is connected to the EMG6765-Q10A’s LAN. R connects to two networks,
N1 (192.168.1.x/24) and N2 (192.168.10.x/24). If you want to send traffic from computer A (in N1 network)
to computer B (in N2 network), the traffic is sent to the EMG6765-Q10A’s WAN default gateway by
default. In this case, B will never receive the traffic.
You need to specify a static routing rule on the EMG6765-Q10A to specify R as the router in charge of
forwarding traffic to N2. In this case, the EMG6765-Q10A routes traffic from A to R and then R routes the
traffic to B.

settings to allow specific traffic to pass through.
6.6 Access the EMG6765-Q10A Using DDNS
If you connect your EMG6765-Q10A to the Internet and it uses a dynamic WAN IP address, it is
inconvenient for you to manage the device from the Internet. The EMG6765-Q10A’s WAN IP address
changes dynamically. Dynamic DNS (DDNS) allows you to access the EMG6765-Q10A using a domain
name.
To use this feature, you have to apply for DDNS service at, for example, www.dyndns.org.
This tutorial covers:
• Registering a DDNS Account on www.dyndns.org
• Configuring DDNS on Your EMG6765-Q10A
• Testing the DDNS Setting
Note: If you have a private WAN IP address, then you cannot use DDNS.
6.6.1 Registering a DDNS Account on www.dyndns.org
1 Open a browser and type http://www.dyndns.org.
2 Apply for a user account. This tutorial uses UserName1 and 5 as the username and password.
3 Log into www.dyndns.org using your account.
4 Add a new DDNS host name. This tutorial uses the following settings as an example.
• Hostname: zyxelrouter.dyndns.org
• Service Type: Host with IP address
• IP Address: Enter the WAN IP address that your EMG6765-Q10A is currently using. You can find the IP
address on the EMG6765-Q10A’s Web Configurator Status page.
Then you will need to configure the same account and host name on the EMG6765-Q10A later.
EMG6765-Q10A User’s Guide

Click Apply.
6.6.3 Testing the DDNS Setting
Now you should be able to access the EMG6765-Q10A from the Internet. To test this:
1 Open a web browser on the computer (using the IP address a.b.c.d) that is connected to the Internet.
2 Type http://zyxelrouter.dyndns.org and press [Enter].
3 The EMG6765-Q10A’s login page should appear. You can then log into the EMG6765-Q10A and
manage it.
6.7 Configuring the MAC Address Filter
Thomas noticed that his daughter Josephine spends too much time surfing the web and downloading
media files. He decided to prevent Josephine from accessing the Internet so that she can concentrate
on preparing for her final exams.
Josephine’s computer connects wirelessly to the Internet through the EMG6765-Q10A. Thomas decides
to use the Configuration > Network > Wireless LAN 2.4G or 5G > MAC Filter screen to grant wireless
network access to his computer but not to Josephine’s computer.

Thomas can also grant access to the computers of other members of his family and friends. However,
Josephine and others not listed in this screen will no longer be able to access the Internet through the
EMG6765-Q10A.
6.8 Using Multiple SSIDs on the EMG6765-Q10A
You can configure more than one SSID on a EMG6765-Q10A. See Section 9.4 on page 81.
This allows you to configure multiple independent wireless networks on the EMG6765-Q10A as if there
were multiple APs (virtual APs). Each virtual AP has its own SSID, wireless security type and MAC filtering
settings. That is, each SSID on the EMG6765-Q10A represents a different access point/wireless network to
wireless clients in the network.
EMG6765-Q10A User’s Guide
48
Page 49
Chapter 6 Tutorials
Clients can associate only with the SSIDs for which they have the correct security settings. Clients using
different SSIDs can access the Internet and the wired network behind the EMG6765-Q10A (such as a
printer).
For example, you may set up three wireless networks (A, B and C) in your office. A is for workers, B is for
guests and C is specific to a VoIP device in the meeting room.
6.8.1 Configuring Security Settings of Multiple SSIDs
The EMG6765-Q10A is in router mode by default.

8.1 Overview
This chapter discusses the EMG6765-Q10A’s WAN screens. Use these screens to configure your EMG6765Q10A for Internet access.
A WAN (Wide Area Network) connection is an outside connection to another network or the Internet. It
connects your private networks such as a LAN (Local Area Network) and other networks, so that a
computer in one location can communicate with computers in other locations.

8.2 What You Can Do
• Use the Internet Connection screen to enter your ISP information and set how the computer acquires
its IP, DNS and WAN MAC addresses (Section 8.4 on page 62).
8.3 What You Need To Know
The information in this section can help you configure the screens for your WAN connection, as well as
enable/disable some advanced features of your EMG6765-Q10A.
8.3.1 Configuring Your Internet Connection
Encapsulation Method
Encapsulation is used to include data from an upper layer protocol into a lower layer protocol. To set up
a WAN connection to the Internet, you need to use the same encapsulation method used by your ISP
(Internet Service Provider). If your ISP offers a dial-up Internet connection using PPPoE (PPP over

Chapter 8 WAN
Ethernet) or PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol), they should also provide a username and password
(and service name) for user authentication.
WAN IP Address
The WAN IP address is an IP address for the EMG6765-Q10A, which makes it accessible from an outside
network. It is used by the EMG6765-Q10A to communicate with other devices in other networks. It can
be static (fixed) or dynamically assigned by the ISP each time the EMG6765-Q10A tries to access the
Internet.
If your ISP assigns you a static WAN IP address, they should also assign you the subnet mask and DNS
server IP address(es) (and a gateway IP address if you use the Ethernet or ENET ENCAP encapsulation
method).
DNS Server Address Assignment
Use Domain Name System (DNS) to map a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa,
for instance, the IP address of www.zyxel.com is 204.217.0.2. The DNS server is extremely important
because without it, you must know the IP address of a computer before you can access it.
The EMG6765-Q10A can get the DNS server addresses in the following ways.
1 The ISP tells you the DNS server addresses, usually in the form of an information sheet, when you sign up.
If your ISP gives you DNS server addresses, manually enter them in the DNS server fields.
2 If your ISP dynamically assigns the DNS server IP addresses (along with the EMG6765-Q10A’s WAN IP
address), set the DNS server fields to get the DNS server address from the ISP.
WAN MAC Address
The MAC address screen allows users to configure the WAN port's MAC address by either using the
factory default or cloning the MAC address from a computer on your LAN. Choose Factory Default to
select the factory assigned default MAC Address.
Otherwise, click Clone the computer's MAC address - IP Address and enter the IP address of the
computer on the LAN whose MAC you are cloning. Once it is successfully configured, the address will be
copied to configuration file. It is recommended that you clone the MAC address prior to hooking up the
WAN Port.

Chapter 8 WAN
Multicast
Traditionally, IP packets are transmitted in one of either two ways - Unicast (1 sender - 1 recipient) or
Broadcast (1 sender - everybody on the network). Multicast delivers IP packets to a group of hosts on
the network - not everybody and not just 1.
Figure 25 Multicast Example
In the multicast example above, systems A and D comprise one multicast group. In multicasting, the
server only needs to send one data stream and this is delivered to systems A and D.
IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a network-layer protocol used to establish membership in a
multicast group - it is not used to carry user data. The EMG6765-Q10A supports both IGMP version 1
(IGMP-v1) and IGMP version 2 (IGMP-v2).
At start up, the EMG6765-Q10A queries all directly connected networks to gather group membership.
After that, the EMG6765-Q10A periodically updates this information. IP multicasting can be enabled/
disabled on the EMG6765-Q10A WAN interface in the Web Configurator (WAN). Select None to disable
IP multicasting on these interfaces.

8.4.1.2 PPPoE Encapsulation
The EMG6765-Q10A supports PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet). PPPoE is an IETF standard
(RFC 2516) specifying how a personal computer (PC) interacts with a broadband modem (DSL, cable,
wireless, etc.) connection. The PPP over Ethernet option is for a dial-up connection using PPPoE.
For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with existing
access control systems (for example Radius).
Chapter 8 WAN
One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let you access one of multiple network services, a function
known as dynamic service selection. This enables the service provider to easily create and offer new IP
services for individuals.
Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both you and the ISP or carrier, as it requires no specific
configuration of the broadband modem at the customer site.
By implementing PPPoE directly on the EMG6765-Q10A (rather than individual computers), the
computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the EEMG6765-Q10A does that part
of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LANs’ computers will have access.
This screen displays when you select PPPoE encapsulation.

See the appendices for more detailed information about wireless networks.
The following figure provides an example of a wireless network.
Figure 30 Example of a Wireless Network
CHAPTER 9
Wireless LAN
The wireless network is the part in the blue circle. In this wireless network, devices A and B are called
wireless clients. The wireless clients use the access point (AP) to interact with other devices (such as the
printer) or with the Internet. Your EMG6765-Q10A is the AP.

Page 73
9.1.1 What You Can Do
• Use the General screen to turn the wireless connection on or off, set up wireless security between the
EMG6765-Q10A and the wireless clients, and make other basic configuration changes (Section 9.2 on
page 76).
• Use the More AP screen to set up multiple wireless networks on your EMG6765-Q10A (Section 9.4 on
page 81).
• Use the MAC Filter screen to allow or deny wireless stations based on their MAC addresses from
connecting to the EMG6765-Q10A (Section 9.5 on page 84).
• Use the Advanced screen to allow intra-BSS networking and set the RTS/CTS Threshold (Section 9.6 on
page 86).
• Use the QoS screen to ensure Quality of Service (QoS) in your wireless network (Section 9.7 on page
87).
• Use the WPS screen to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to
configure security settings manually (Section 9.8 on page 87).
• Use the WPS Station screen to add a wireless station using WPS (Section 9.9 on page 89).
• Use the Scheduling screen to set the times your wireless LAN is turned on and off (Section 9.10 on
page 89).
• Use the Airtime Management screen to assign available airtime and bandwidth to interfaces and
hosts (Section 9.11 on page 90).
Chapter 9 Wireless LAN
9.1.2 What You Should Know
Every wireless network must follow these basic guidelines.
• Every wireless client in the same wireless network must use the same SSID.
The SSID is the name of the wireless network. It stands for Service Set IDentity.
• If two wireless networks overlap, they should use different channels.
Like radio stations or television channels, each wireless network uses a specific channel, or frequency,
to send and receive information.
• Every wireless client in the same wireless network must use security compatible with the AP.
Security stops unauthorized devices from using the wireless network. It can also protect the
information that is sent in the wireless network.
Wireless Security Overview
The following sections introduce different types of wireless security you can set up in the wireless
network.
SSID
Normally, the AP acts like a beacon and regularly broadcasts the SSID in the area. You can hide the
SSID instead, in which case the AP does not broadcast the SSID. In addition, you should change the
default SSID to something that is difficult to guess.
This type of security is fairly weak, however, because there are ways for unauthorized devices to get the
SSID. In addition, unauthorized devices can still see the information that is sent in the wireless network.
EMG6765-Q10A User’s Guide

Page 74
MAC Address Filter
Chapter 9 Wireless LAN
Every wireless client has a unique identification number, called a MAC address.1 A MAC address is
usually written using twelve hexadecimal characters
To get the MAC address for each wireless client, see the appropriate User’s Guide or other
documentation.
You can use the MAC address filter to tell the AP which wireless clients are allowed or not allowed to use
the wireless network. If a wireless client is allowed to use the wireless network, it still has to have the
correct settings (SSID, channel, and security). If a wireless client is not allowed to use the wireless
network, it does not matter if it has the correct settings.
This type of security does not protect the information that is sent in the wireless network. Furthermore,
there are ways for unauthorized devices to get the MAC address of an authorized wireless client. Then,
they can use that MAC address to use the wireless network.

; for example, 00A0C5000002 or 00:A0:C5:00:00:02.
User Authentication
You can make every user log in to the wireless network before they can use it. This is called user
authentication. However, every wireless client in the wireless network has to support IEEE 802.1x to do
this.
For wireless networks, there are two typical places to store the user names and passwords for each user.
• In the AP: this feature is called a local user database or a local database.
• In a RADIUS server: this is a server used in businesses more than in homes.
If your AP does not provide a local user database and if you do not have a RADIUS server, you cannot
set up user names and passwords for your users.
Unauthorized devices can still see the information that is sent in the wireless network, even if they cannot
use the wireless network. Furthermore, there are ways for unauthorized wireless users to get a valid user
name and password. Then, they can use that user name and password to use the wireless network.
Local user databases also have an additional limitation that is explained in the next section.
Guest WLAN
Guest WLAN allows you to set up a wireless network where users can access to Internet via the
EMG6765-Q10A (Z), but not other networks connected to the Z. In the following figure, a guest user can
access the Internet from the guest wireless network A via Z but not the home or company network N.
Note: The home or company network N and Guest WLAN network are independent networks.

WPS
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is an industry standard specification, defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance. WPS
allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure security
settings manually. Depending on the devices in your network, you can either press a button (on the
device itself, or in its configuration utility) or enter a PIN (Personal Identification Number) in the devices.

Channel Width Select the wireless channel width used by EMG6765-Q10A.
This displays the channel the EMG6765-Q10A is currently using.
A standard 20 MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 144Mbps (2.4GHz) or 217Mbps
(5GHZ) whereas a 40MHz channel uses two standard channels and offers speeds of up to
300Mbps (2.4GHz) or 450Mbps (5GHZ). An IEEE 802.11ac-specific 80MHz channel offers speeds
of up to 1.3Gbps.
Because not all devices support 40 MHz and/or 80 MHz channels, select Auto 20/40 MHz or
Auto 20/40/80 MHz to allow the EMG6765-Q10A to adjust the channel bandwidth
automatically.
40 MHz (channel bonding or dual channel) bonds two adjacent radio channels to increase
throughput. A 80 MHz channel consists of two adjacent 40 MHz channels. The wireless clients
must also support 40 MHz or 80 MHz. It is often better to use the 20 MHz setting in a location
where the environment hinders the wireless signal.
Select 20 MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in your
neighborhood or the wireless clients do not support channel bonding.
802.11 Mode If you are in the Wireless LAN 2.4G > General screen, you can select from the following:

9.11.1 Airtime Management Scenarios
The figure below is used to explain some possible scenarios on how airtime management works in the
EMG6765-Q10A.
• Scenario 1. All active SSIDs can use all of the EMG6765-Q10A’s airtime. Make sure the airtime total is
100%. If you don’t allocate all airtime to active SSIDs, the remaining airtime will be lost.

•Scenario 2. If Home SSID and IPTV SSID take 100% of the airtime in Manual, no Airtime (0%) is allocated
to Public SSID, whether this SSID is in Auto or Manual. In this cases Manual will have priority over Auto.

Home SSID 40% Manual
IPTV SSID 60% Manual
Public SSID 0% Auto
• Scenario 3. If all active SSIDs are in Auto, the EMG6765-Q10A will assign equal percentages of airtime
to all active SSIDs.
Table 33 Scenario 3
SSID AIRTIME (%) CONFIGURE METHOD
Home SSID 33.3% Auto
IPTV SSID 33.3% Auto
Public SSID 33.3% Auto
• Scenario 4. Wi-Fi Stations airtime is proportional to the total airtime of the SSID they belong to. In this
scenario Wi-Fi Station A will take up 50% of the 40% assigned to Home SSID, which would be 40%*50%=
20%. Whereas Wi-Fi Station B will use 50% of the 10% assigned to Public SSID, which would be
10%*50%= 5%.

10.1 Overview
This chapter describes how to configure LAN settings.
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many computers are
attached. A LAN is a computer network limited to the immediate area, usually the same building or floor
of a building.
Figure 47 LAN Example
CHAPTER 10
LAN
The LAN screens can help you configure a manage IP address, and partition your physical network into
logical networks.
10.2 What You Can Do
• Use the IP screen to change the IP address for your EMG6765-Q10A (Section 10.4 on page 96).
• Use the IP Alias screen to have the EMG6765-Q10A apply IP alias to create LAN subnets (Section 10.5
on page 96).
• Use the IPv6 LAN screen to configure the IPv6 address for your EMG6765-Q10A on the LAN (Section
10.6 on page 97).
• Use the IGMP Snooping screen to enable IGMP Snooping and configure IGMP modes. (Section 10.7
on page 98).

10.3 What You Need To Know
The actual physical connection determines whether the EMG6765-Q10A ports are LAN or WAN ports.
There are two separate IP networks, one inside the LAN network and the other outside the WAN network
as shown next.
Figure 48 LAN and WAN IP Addresses
The LAN parameters of the EMG6765-Q10A are preset in the factory with the following values:
• IP address of 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (24 bits)
• DHCP server enabled with 32 client IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.33.
These parameters should work for the majority of installations. If your ISP gives you explicit DNS server
address(es), read the embedded Web Configurator help regarding what fields need to be configured.
10.3.1 IP Pool Setup
The EMG6765-Q10A is pre-configured with a pool of 32 IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.33 to
192.168.1.64. This configuration leaves 31 IP addresses (excluding the EMG6765-Q10A itself) in the lower
range (192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.32) for other server computers, for instance, servers for mail, FTP, TFTP,
web, etc., that you may have.
10.3.2 LAN TCP/IP
The EMG6765-Q10A has built-in DHCP server capability that assigns IP addresses and DNS servers to
systems that support DHCP client capability.
10.3.3 IP Alias
IP alias allows you to partition a physical network into different logical networks over the same Ethernet
interface. The EMG6765-Q10A supports three logical LAN interfaces via its single physical Ethernet
interface with the EMG6765-Q10A itself as the gateway for each LAN network.

11.1 Overview
MoCA (Multimedia over Coax Alliance) is an industry standard organization, which created a standard
for transferring data and multimedia content over the existing coaxial wires in your home. Data
communication and audio/video streaming are allowed at the same time. The EMG6765-Q10A (A)
automatically sets up a MoCA network when multiple MoCA devices (nodes) are powered on and
connected with a coaxial cable.
CHAPTER 11
MoCA
The EMG6765-Q10A supports MoCA 2.0 and is backward compatible with MoCA 1.1. The MoCA 1.1
technology provides 175 Mbps net throughputs (270 Mbps PHY rate) and operates in the 500 to 1500
MHz frequency range. MoCA 2.0 in turbo mode offers actual data rates of up to 1 Gbps MAC
throughputs and operates in the 500 to 1650 MHz operating frequency range. MoCA 2.0 also supports
improved packet error rate (PER) and two new power saving modes: Standby (reduced power) and
Sleep (minimum power).
The EMG6765-Q10A should be connected to the WAN via Ethernet, then the coaxial network in your
home will only work as a LAN.
