1.4 Good Habits for Managing the ZyXEL Device

Do the following things regularly to make the ZyXEL Device more secure and to manage it
more effectively.

• Change the password often. 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 ZyXEL Device to its
factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you won’t have to
totally re-configure the ZyXEL Device; you can simply restore your last configuration.

1.5 Hardware Connections

See your Quick Start Guide for information on making hardware connections.

"

Your ZyXEL Device has two wireless LAN adaptors, WLAN1 and WLAN2.
WLAN1 uses the antenna on the right (when facing the device) and WLAN2
uses the antenna on the left. If you connect only one antenna, you can use only
the associated wireless LAN adaptor.
