VMG1312-B10D
Wireless N VDSL2 4-port Gateway with USB
Benefits
VDSL2 Vectoring for maximized service coverage
The Zyxel VMG1312-B10D Wireless N VDSL2 4-port Gateway with USB 
supports Vectoring technology to eliminate crosstalk or interference among 
different VDSL lines. In the mechanism, Vectoring significantly increases bit 
rates to compete with cable/fiber technology as well as to enlarge service 
coverage without changing the current infrastructure - a way to 
significantly save cost comparing to fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) deployments, 
while the CAPEX can be optimized by improved data rates and coverage 
without upgrading equipment.
2.4 GHz 11n (2x2) for superior performance and coverage
The Zyxel VMG1312-B10D features 802.11n technology to provide an ultimate 
combination for both speed and coverage. With 802.11n wireless data rates of 
up to 300 Mbps, the VMG1312-B10D provides stable, reliable wireless 
connections for high-speed data and multimedia applications; the 802.11n 
technology also empowers the device to eliminate dead zones and extend 
coverage while retaining backward compatibility with any certified device.
TR-069/TR-181 issue-2 remote management
With the TR-069/TR-181 standard management specifications, the Zyxel 
VMG1312-B10D allows service providers to manage and configure client 
devices remotely without interfering other end users. This unique feature not 
only offers true “plug-and-play” experience, but also reduces deployment 
complexity and saves operating as well as maintenance costs for service 
providers.

Always-online, always-compatible 3G 
alternative
The Zyxel VMG1312-B10D features optional 3G connectivity 
as a failover (or alternative) connection to mobile 
broadband networks in case of DSL outage. Internet traffics 
will be temporarily routed through the 3G dongle plugged 
into the USB port; all traffics will be switched back as soon 
as the regular broadband service becomes available again. 
It is also efficient to have instant Internet access in remote 
offices, activities outside of the office or occasions where 
DSL service is temporarily unavailable. For comprehensive 
dongle compatibility, users can simply check and download 
the respective patch file to enable mobile broadband 
services immediately without upgrading the entire 
firmware of the gateway.
Application Diagram
Multiple WAN for simplified ISP logistics and 
optimized CAPEX
When customers migrate from ADSL2+ or VDSL2 to PON, 
service providers are not required to invest on new CPE 
and replace them on customer sites; all they have to do is 
keeping the Zyxel VMG1312-B10D by unplugging the DSL 
line and plug the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet WAN port. 
The existing customer VMG1312-B10D can be retained for 
terminating IP connection via the Ethernet WAN interface. 
In most cases, end users can enjoy the same, or even better, 
experience from the original rather than have it replaced 
by costly different physical connections.
