The ZyXEL G-2000 Plus v2 (the ZyXEL device) is a router with a built-in wireless LAN access point that makes it easy for people to set up a small home/office network and share Internet access via a (cable/DSL) modem or router.

This Quick Start Guide introduces the ZyXEL device and shows you how to use the web configurator wizard. See your User's Guide for configuration details and background information on all ZyXEL device features using the SMT (System Management Terminal) and web configurator.
