1.1 Overview
The P8802T 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.

1.6 3G WAN
The USB port (at the right side of the device when you
face to the front panel) allows you to wirelessly
connect to a 3G netowk to get Internet access by
attaching a 3G dongle. You must leave the VDSL
Router DSL or Ethernet WAN port unconnected and
attached a 3G dongle to use 3G as your WAN. Y ou can
also heve the VDSL Router use the 3G WAN
connection as a backup. That means the VDSL Router
switches to the 3G wireless WAN connection after the
wired DSL or Ethernet WAN connection fails. The
VDSL Router automatically changes back to use the
wired DSL or Ethernet WAN connection when it is
available.
Figure 2 Internet Access Application: 3G WAN
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 deletes all your
and the password will be reset to “1234”.
1 Make sure the Power LED is green and on (not blinking and not red or flashing red).
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.

Note: The default username and password are on the label on the bottom of the Device.
Basic Home Station VDSL2 P8802T User’s Guide
1.8 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 3 Wireless Access Example
Chapter 1 Introducing the VDSL Router
1.8.1 Using the Wifi 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 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.
To activate WPS:
1 Make sure the Power LED is green and not blinking.
2 Press the Wifi button for ten seconds and release it.

3 Enable WPS on another WPS-enabled client device within range of the VDSL Router. If you do not
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 button on the front of the VDSL Router for one to
five seconds. The Wifi LED turns off when the wireless network is off.

2.2 Setting Up a Secure Wireless Network
Thomas sets up a wireless network to give his notebook wireless Internet access. The VDSL Router
serves as an access point (AP) to let the notebook connect to the Internet.
Thomas configures the wireless network settings on the VDSL Router and uses WPS (Section 2.2.2
on page 22) or manual configuration (Section 2.2.3 on page 26) to connect his notebook.
2.2.1 Configuring the Wireless Network Settings
This example uses the following parameters to set up a wireless network.
SSID Example
Security Level WPA2-PSK
WPA/WAPI passphrase DoNotStealMyWirelessNetwork
802.11 Mode 802.11b/g/n Mixed

Note: See the sticker on the bottom of the VDSL Router for the default wireless LAN
SSID, security mode, and password.

Use WPS to wirelessly connect the notebook to the VDSL Router (see Section 2.2.2 on page 22) or
use the notebook’s wireless client to search for the VDSL Router (see Section 2.2.3 on page 26).
2.2.2 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.
3 In the wireless client utility, go to the WPS setting page. Enable WPS and press the Wifi button
(Start or Wifi button).
4 Push and hold the Wifi button located on the VDSL Router’s rear panel for 10 seconds.
Note: It doesn’t matter which device’s button you press first. You must press the second
button within two minutes of pressing the first one.
Note: The WPS button in the Web Confi gurator screens also has t he same function as the
one on the VDSL Router rear panel: use either.
The VDSL Router sends the wireless network settings to the wireless client. This may tak e up to two
minutes. Afterwards the wireless client can communicate with the VDSL Router securely.
The following figure shows an example of how to set up a wireless network and its security by
pressing a button on both VDSL Router and wireless client.

3 Activate WPS on the wireless client utility screen within two minutes.
The VDSL Router authenticates the wireless client and sends it the proper configuration settings.
This may take up to two minutes. The wireless client can then communicate with the VDSL Router
securely.

2.4 Setting Up a NAT Virtual Server for a Game Server
This examples configures a virtual server to forward traffic from Civilization IV players on the
Internet (A in the figure below) to a server on a computer behind the VDSL Router.
Note: If firewall is enabled, you may also need to configure a firewall rule for the relevant
ports. See Section 2.6.2 on page 34.
Tutorial: NAT Port Forwarding Setup
Thomas configures virtual servers to forward TCP and UDP port 6500, and UDP ports 2302 and
13139 traffic to port 6500 at the server’s IP address of 192.168.1.34.
1 Click Advanced Setup > NAT > Virtual Servers and then Add.
2 Select the incoming interface for the traffic. Specify a name (CivIV in this example) in the Custom
Service field. Set the Server IP Address to 192.168.1.34. Add UDP ports 2302 and 13139 and
port number 6500 for TCP & UDP protocols. Click TCP/UDP.

Players on the Internet then can access Thomas’ server.
2.5 Access Your Home Computer from the Internet Using DDNS
It is inconvenient for you to access your home computer from the Internet if your VDSL Router uses
a dynamic WAN IP address since it changes dynamically. Dynamic DNS (DDNS) allows you to
access your home computer using a domain name.
Note: Enable remote desktop server service on your home computer. The remote desktop
server feature covered here is included in Windows Professional, Business, and
Ultimate versions.
Note: If firewall is enabled, you may also need to configure a firewall rule for the relevant
ports. See Section 2.6.2 on page 34.
