What to do if I cannot access the Internet using my ZyXEL Communications ZyXEL ZyWALL 5?
First, check the ZyWALL's connection to the Ethernet jack that provides Internet access. Also, ensure that your Internet gateway device, such as a DSL modem, is functioning correctly. If the issue persists, verify your settings by clicking 'WAN' in the navigation panel.
Why can't I establish a VPN connection with my ZyXEL Communications ZyXEL ZyWALL 5?
To resolve this, first ensure that the ZyWALL and the remote IPSec router are configured with identical VPN settings. You can adjust advanced settings by clicking 'VPN' in the navigation panel. Also, verify that you have a working Internet connection by accessing a website.
What to do if none of the LEDs turn on on my ZyXEL Communications ZyXEL ZyWALL 5 Gateway?
