1.1 Overview

Eject buttons
USB ports
This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the NBG6716.
The NBG6716 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.
A range of services such as a firewall and content filtering are also available for secure Internet computing. The NBG6716 also supports the new StreamBoost technology, which is smart Quality of Service (QoS), to redistribute traffic over the NBG6716 for the best possible performance in a home network.
There are two USB 2.0 ports on the side panel of your NBG6716. You can connect USB (version 2.0 or lower) memory sticks, USB hard drives, or USB devices for file sharing. The NBG6716 automatically detects the USB devices.
CHAPTER 1

Introduction

Two USB eject buttons are located above the USB ports. Push the eject button of the corresponding USB port for 2 seconds. 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.
Figure 1 USB Ports and Eject Buttons
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 (such as USB printers). Other USB products are not guaranteed to function properly with the NBG6716.
NBG6716 User’s Guide 15
Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1.1 Dual-Band
The NBG6716 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 2 Dual-Band Application

1.2 Applications

Your can have the following networks using the NBG6716:
• Wired. You can connect network devices via the Ethernet ports of the NBG6716 so that they can communicate with each other and access the Internet.
• Wireless. Wireless clients can connect to the NBG6716 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.

1.3 Ways to Manage the NBG6716

Use any of the following methods to manage the NBG6716.
• 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 ZyXEL Device.
• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the NBG6716 using a (supported) web browser.

NBG6716 User’s Guide

1.4 Good Habits for Managing the NBG6716

Do the following things regularly to make the NBG6716 more secure and to manage the NBG6716 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 NBG6716 to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the NBG6716. You could simply restore your last configuration.

1.5 Resetting the NBG6716

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 NBG6716 to reload the factory-default configuration file. This means that you will lose all configurations that you had previously saved, the password will be reset to “1234” and the IP address will be reset to “192.168.1.1”.
Chapter 1 Introduction
1.5.1 How to Use the RESET Button
1 Make sure the power LED is on.
2 Press the RESET button for one to four seconds to restart/reboot the NBG6716.
3 Press the RESET button for longer than five seconds to set the NBG6716 back to its factory-default
configurations.

1.6 The WPS Button

Your NBG6716 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) in 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 front panel of the NBG6716 to activate WPS in order to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security.

Note: You must activate WPS in the NBG6716 and in another wireless device within two

1.7 LEDs

Look at the LED lights on the front panel to determine the status of the NBG6716. Use the LED button at the side panel of the device to turn the LED lights on or off. If you have already pushed the LED button to the ON position but none of the LEDS are on, make sure the NBG6716 is receiving power and the power is turned on.
Note: The Power LED will be on even if you push the LED button to the OFF position.

2 Mark two holes on the wall at the appropriate distance apart for the screws.
Be careful to avoid damaging pipes or cables located inside the wall when drilling holes for the screws.
3 If using screw anchors, drill two holes for the screw anchors into the wall. Push the anchors into the
full depth of the holes, then insert the screws into the anchors. Do not insert the screws all the way in - leave a small gap of about 0.5 cm.
If not using screw anchors, use a screwdriver to insert the screws into the wall. Do not insert the screws all the way in - leave a gap of about 0.5 cm.

2.3 Connect to Internet

The NBG6716 offers two Internet connection types. They are IPoE or PPPoE. The wizard attempts to detect which WAN connection type you are using.

If the wizard does not detect a connection type, you must select one from the drop-down list box. Check with your ISP to make sure you use the correct type.

2.3.2 Connection Type: PPPoE
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) functions as a dial-up connection. PPPoE is an IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) standard specifying how a host personal computer interacts with a broadband modem (for example DSL, cable, wireless, etc.) to achieve access to high-speed data networks.
24
For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with existing access control systems (for instance, RADIUS).
NBG6716 User’s Guide
Chapter 2 Connection Wizard
One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let end users 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 specific users.
Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both the subscriber and the ISP/carrier, as it requires no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the subscriber's site.
By implementing PPPoE directly on the NBG6716 (rather than individual computers), the computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the NBG6716 does that part of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LAN's computers will have Internet access.
