Datasheet

Product Overview

The Zyxel C2100Z is an 802.11ac VDSL2 Bonding PRISM TV Gateway designed to deliver high-performance broadband connectivity and seamless wireless experience for home users. It supports VDSL2 bonding with G.Vector technology for enhanced performance and range, Gigabit Ethernet for wired connectivity, and dual-band Wi-Fi (AC2050) for lag-free streaming and gaming.

Key Benefits

Bonded VDSL2 with G.Vector: Supports VDSL2 bonding with vectoring, reducing cross-talk for up to 150% increase in performance and range.
Gigabit Ethernet WAN / LAN Port: Features a dedicated Gigabit Ethernet WAN port, which functions as a Gigabit 5th LAN port when in DSL mode.
Carrier-class Wi-Fi: Offers dual-band Wi-Fi (802.11ac) with MU-MIMO and Beamforming for simultaneous, lag-free streaming and gaming. Rated at AC2050, it provides speeds up to 1.7 Gbps on 5 GHz and 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz. Supports multiple Wi-Fi networks with up to 4 SSIDs.
Enhanced Security Features: Implements dual Ethernet firewalls (NAT and SPI), supports WPA2/WPA/WEP, and includes a hardware WPS button for easy setup.
TR-069 Remote Management: Compliant with TR-069 for faster deployment by Service Providers and supports remote provisioning, monitoring, and management.
IPv6 Enabled: Certified as IPv6-ready, supporting dual-stack IP networks (IPv4/IPv6).

Visual Descriptions

Front Panel: The front panel of the C2100Z features various LED indicators for power, system status, DSL connectivity (DSL 1, DSL 2), internet connection, WAN/LAN activity, individual LAN ports (LAN1-4), HPNA, USB, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, 5 GHz Wi-Fi, VoIP (VoIP 1, VoIP 2), and WPS. It also includes a physical WPS button.

Back Panel: The back panel provides connectivity ports including a power input (12V DC 3A), DSL port, HPNA port, multiple Ethernet ports (WAN/LAN, LAN1-4), a USB port, and a reset/restore factory default button.
