1.1 Overview
The P-8701T is a VDSL2 router and 100/10 Mb Ethernet gateway with a four-port built-in Ethernet switch and IEEE 802.11n wireless. The VDSL Router allows wired and wireless clients to safely access the Internet. The built-in firewall blocks unauthorized access to your network.
Only use firmware for your VDSL Router’s specific model. Refer to the label on the bottom of your VDSL Router.
The VDSL Router has a USB port for sharing files via a USB storage device, sharing a USB printer, or a 3G dongle for a backup connection.
CHAPTER 1
Introducing the VDSL Router
1.2 How to Manage the VDSL Router
Use the Web Configurator to manage the VDSL Router using a (supported) web browser.
1.3 Good Habits for Managing the VDSL Router
Do the following things regularly to make the VDSL Router more secure and to manage the VDSL Router 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.
1.4 LEDs (Lights)

1.6 Wireless Access
The VDSL Router is a wireless Access Point (AP) for wireless clients, such as notebook computers, smartphones, or tablets. It allows them to connect to the Internet without having to rely on inconvenient Ethernet cables.
You can connect to y our w ireless network using the Wifi button, without having to access the Web Configurator.

Figure 2 Wireless Access Example
1.6.1 Using the Wifi/WPS Button
Note: The wireless client must be a WPS-aware device (for example, a WPS USB adapter or
PCMCIA card), which can be identified by the WPS logo
If the wireless network is turned off, press the Wifi/WPS button at the back of the VDSL Router for one second. Once the Wifi LED turns green, the wireless network is active.
You can also use the Wifi button to quickly set up a secure wireless connection between the VDSL Router and a WPS-compatible client by adding one device at a time.

know how to enable WPS on that client device, refer to its manual. The Wifi LED flashes green and orange while the VDSL Router sets up a WPS connection with the other WPS enabled client device.
4 Once the connection is successfully made, the Wifi LED shines green.
To turn off the wireless network, press the Wifi/WPS button on the front of the VDSL Router for one to five seconds. The Wifi LED turns off when the wireless network is off.

Be careful to avoid damaging pipes or cables located inside the wall when drilling holes for the screws.
3 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.
4 Make sure the screws are snugly fastened to the wall. They need to hold the weight of the VDSL
Router with the connection cables.
5 Align the holes on the back of the VDSL Router with the screws on the wall. Hang the VDSL Router

Use WPS to wirelessly connect the notebook to the VDSL Router (see Section 2.5.2 on page 24) or use the notebook’s wireless client to search for the VDSL Router (see Section 2.5.3 on page 27).
2.5.2 Using WPS
This example uses WPS to connect a ZyXEL NWD210N wireless client to the VDSL Router’s wireless network.
Note: One way to see if the wireless client (a notebook, smartphone, tablet, wireless USB adapter,
or wireless PCMCIA card for example) supports WPS is to look for the WPS logo
It covers two WPS methods to set up the wireless client settings:
• Push Button Configuration (PBC) - simply press a button. This is the easier method.
• PIN Configuration - enter a wireless client’s Personal Identification Number (PIN) in the VDSL Router.
Push Button Configuration (PBC)
1 Make sure that your VDSL Router is on and your notebook is within range of the wireless signal.
2 Make sure that you have installed the wireless client driver and utility in your notebook.
