The ZyXEL Device is always in routing mode when the first Ethernet port is the

WAN port to allow Internet access via an Ethernet connection to a broadband

modem or router.

WAN Interface This displays whether the ZyXEL Device is using the VDSL port for Internet

access (VDSL) or using the first Ethernet port as the WAN port (Ethernet).

CPU Usage

This field displays what percentage of the ZyXEL Device’s processing ability is

currently used. When this percentage is close to 100%, the ZyXEL Device is

running at full load, and the throughput is not going to improve anymore. If you

want some applications to have more throughput, you should turn off other

applications (for example, using QoS; see

Chapter 17 on page 239

Memory

Usage

This field displays what percentage of the ZyXEL Device’s memory is currently

used. Usually, this percentage should not increase much. If memory usage does
