1.1 Overview
The VMG is a wireless VDSL router. It has a DSL port for Internet access. The VMG supports both
Packet Transfer Mode (PTM) and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). It is backward compatible with
ADSL, ADSL2 and ADSL2+ in case VDSL is not available.
Only use firmware for your VMG’s specific model. Refer to the label on
the bottom of your VMG.
The VMG works over the analog telephone system, POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service). The VMG
has one USB port for sharing files via a USB storage device or connecting a 3G dongle for a WAN
backup connection.
CHAPTER 1
Introducing the VMG
1.2 Ways to Manage the VMG
Use any of the following methods to manage the VMG.
• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the VMG using a
(supported) web browser.
1.3 Good Habits for Managing the VMG
Do the following things regularly to make the VMG more secure and to manage the VMG 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 VMG to its factory default settings. If you backed
up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the VMG. You could
simply restore your last configuration.

Here are some example uses for which the VMG is well suited.
1.4.1 Internet Access
Computers can connect to the VMG’s LAN ports (or wirelessly).
You can also configure IP filtering on the VMG for secure Internet access. When the IP filter is on, all
incoming traffic from the Internet to your network is blocked by default unless it is initiated from
your network. This means that probes from the outside to your network are not allowed, but you
can safely browse the Internet and download files.
1.4.1.1 DSL
Your VMG provides shared Internet access by connecting the DSL port to the DSL or MODEM jack
on a splitter or your telephone jack. You can have multiple WAN services over one ADSL or VDSL.
The VMG cannot work in ADSL and VDSL mode at the same time.
Note: The ADSL and VDSL lines share the same WAN (layer-2) interfaces that you
configure in the VMG. Refer to Section 6.2 on page 63 for the Network Setting >
Broadband screen.

3G/LTE
If you prefer not to use a DSL line and you have another broadband modem or router (such as
ADSL) available, you can convert LAN port number four as a WAN port using the Network Setting
> Broadband > Ethernet WAN screen and then connect the LAN port to the broadband modem
or router. This way, you can access the Internet via an Ethernet connection and still use the QoS,
Firewall and parental control functions on the VMG.

Chapter 1 Introducing the VMG
1.4.2 VMG’s USB Support
The USB port of the VMG is used for 3G WAN backup, file-sharing and media server.
3G WAN Backup
Connect a 3G/LTE USB dongle with an active SIM card to the USB port. This adds a second WAN
interface and allows the VMG to wirelessly access the Internet via a 3G/LTE network. The 3G/LTE
WAN connection is the failover or a backup in case the DSL or Ethernet WAN connection fails.
To set up a 3G/LTE connection, click Network Setting > Broadband > 3G Backup.
To update the supported 3G/LTE USB dongle list, download the latest WWAN package from the
ZyXEL website and upload it to the VMG using the Maintenance > Firmware Upgrade screen.
See the product page on ZyXEL’s website for the list of 3G/LTE USB dongles that are compatible.

File Sharing
Use the built-in USB 2.0 port to share files on a USB memory stick or a USB hard drive (B). You can
connect one USB hard drive to the VMG at a time. Use FTP to access the files on the USB device.
Figure 4 USB File Sharing Application
Media Server
You can also use the VMG as a media server. This lets anyone on your network play video, music,
and photos from a USB device (B) connected to the VMG’s USB port (without having to copy them
to another computer).
Figure 5 USB Media Server Application
1.5 Wireless Access
The VMG is a wireless Access Point (AP) for wireless clients, such as notebook computers or PDAs
and iPads. It allows them to connect to the Internet without having to rely on inconvenient Ethernet
cables.

Chapter 1 Introducing the VMG
You can configure your wireless network in either the built-in Web Configurator, or using the WPS
button.
Figure 6 Wireless Access Example
1.5.1 Using the Wi-Fi and WPS Buttons
If the wireless network is turned off, press the WLAN button for one second. Once the WLAN/
WPS LED turns green, the wireless network is active.
You can also use the WPS button to quickly set up a secure wireless connection between the VMG
and a WPS-compatible client by adding one device at a time.
To activate WPS:
1 Make sure the POWER LED is on and not blinking.
2 Press the WPS button for two seconds and release it.
3 Press the WPS button on another WPS-enabled device within range of the VMG. The WLAN/WPS
LED flashes orange while the VMG sets up a WPS connection with the other wireless device.
4 Once the connection is successfully made, the WLAN/WPS LED shines green.
To turn off the wireless network, press the WLAN button for one to five seconds. The WLAN/WPS
LED turns off when the wireless network is off.

1.7 The RESET Button
If you forget your password or cannot access the Web Configurator, you will need to use the RESET
button at the back of the device to reload the factory-default configuration file. This means that you
will lose all configurations that you had previously and the password will be reset to “1234”.
1 Make sure the POWER LED is on (not blinking).
2 To set the device back to the factory default settings, press the RESET button for ten seconds or
until the POWER LED begins to blink and then release it. When the POWER LED begins to blink,
the defaults have been restored and the device restarts.
