Getting to Know Your ZyXEL
Device
This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the ZyXEL Device.
1.1 O
verview
The ZyXEL Device is a high-security 3G router with wireless capability.
Access the Internet with the 3G connection from any location with 3G coverage, with the
option of using a wired WAN connection at the same time.
Enhance network security by adding a De-Militarized Zone (DMZ) to your network. This
separates devices that are publicly accessible (and less secure) from your LAN.
Set up a local network with the four LAN ports and set up a wireless network with IEEE
802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compatible wireless devices. The ZyXEL Device provides the
option to easily move devices from your LAN or wireless network to the DMZ.
The ZyXEL Device also provides NAT, port forwarding, DHCP server and many other
powerful features.
The NBG410W3G and NBG412W3G offer similar features. However, the NBG410W3G also
supports an internal 3G interface.
See
for a complete list of features for both devices.
